Eurgent

Urgent Air Freight for Critical Electronics Shipment (Germany → UK)

Industry

Automotive Electronics Manufacturing

The Challenge

A German automotive supplier faced an unexpected production halt because a critical electronics component failed during testing. Replacement parts were only available in Munich, Germany, while the assembly plant was in Birmingham, UK.

The shipment needed to cross borders quickly, but they faced major European logistics challenges:

  • Tight post-Brexit customs documentation

  • Limited weekend flight capacity

  • Dangerous goods classification checks

  • Risk of factory downtime costing €40,000 per hour

Standard freight options would take 3–5 days — too late to prevent losses.

Our Solution

Eurgent arranged an emergency air freight service within hours:

  • Same-day pickup from Munich supplier
  • Fast-track customs clearance with pre-lodged documents
  • Priority space secured on evening cargo flight
  • Dedicated UK courier for final delivery

We coordinated between supplier, airline, customs agents, and UK transport team in real time.
