9 out of 10 companies are at risk of severe financial penalties or even an export ban

Whether it’s blood samples, chemicals, lithium batteries, prototypes, or semi-finished products.
Certain shipments must be sent in compliance with various guidelines. That includes documentation, packaging, training, and transport regulations.

The problem: Most shipping companies only take care of delivery and don’t check compliance with these regulations. This is hardly surprising, as the responsibility lies with you as the business manager and not with the logistics company. If accidents or injuries occur due to incorrect packaging, for example, you could quickly face heavy fines.

Im Gegensatz zu anderen Speditionsunternehmen kontrollieren wir von Sephyre die Lieferung und die Einhaltung der Vorschriften.

Choose a logistics company that...

... always monitors compliance with regulations.

To be on the safe side, always have your documentation checked by a professional. This way, you avoid the risk of heavy financial penalties during inspections.

... checks your employees’ training requirements.

If you ship sensitive goods, they must be packaged according to regulation. And your employees have to have the training for this. Make sure that your provider carefully checks that the legal requirements are met.

... assumes responsibility.

As the business manager, you’re always liable if something goes wrong during transport. Unless you choose a provider who assumes responsibility for you!

Let someone else handle the shipping and take responsibility for it

At Sephyre, we make sure that your sensitive deliveries always travel safely from A to B. Whether it’s chemical substances, batteries, or medical products.
Your advantages with Sephyre:

We are your external hazardous materials officer and therefore also assume responsibility for deliveries.

Whether it’s transport by land, air, or sea, we work with various shipping service providers. Depending on the goods to be shipped and the delivery time, we work with you to decide on the right shipping method. We do this for both one-time and regularly recurring deliveries. Of course, we also guarantee compliance with all transport regulations.

As trained freight forwarders, we’re familiar with the documentation requirements. We check all your documents to ensure problem-free transport.

There are packaging regulations for every type of hazardous material that specify who is allowed to package it and how it must be packaged. We are familiar with all of these regulations and will show your employees exactly what they need to pay attention to. If necessary, we can provide instructions by video call. If your employees do not meet the training requirements, we can package the products at your location.

According to the law, even if you outsource shipping to a logistics company, your employees still have to be trained. We’ll take care of that for you too.

But it’s important to us not to overload your employees with unnecessary training. That’s why we only train your employees to ensure that all legal requirements for training regulations are met.

For worldwide shipping, deliveries have to be documented for customs purposes. We will check this for you as well. This minimizes the risk of your deliveries getting stuck in customs somewhere.

If you ship large quantities of hazardous materials, you may also be legally required to appoint a hazardous materials officer. We can take care of this for you at your request.

Frequently asked questions about shipping hazardous materials or temperature-controlled products with Sephyre

Hazardous materials are materials or substances that are potentially harmful to humans, animals, or the environment, such as chemicals or lithium batteries. Temperature-controlled goods are products that must be stored or transported at specific temperatures to maintain their quality, such as medical samples.
When shipping hazardous materials, there are strict regulations regarding packaging, transport routes, and documentation. Failure to comply with these guidelines can result in accidents, fines, and delays. This is why it’s important to be fully aware of and comply with the legal requirements.
Sephyre not only handles shipping, but also takes responsibility for compliance with all regulations. We organize documentation, provide training for employees, ensure proper packaging, and guarantee safe transport.
Incorrect packaging or insufficient documentation can result in accidents or in deliveries being returned. This can lead to heavy fines and dissatisfied customers.
The safest way is to work with a specialized logistics service provider such as Sephyre. We will check the documents, train your team, and organize the entire shipping process. This minimizes risks and saves you time.
The shipping time depends on various factors, such as the destination and the type of goods. Sephyre works with various shipping service providers to guarantee the fastest and safest transport route.
This depends on various factors. However, you may be legally obliged to appoint a hazardous materials officer. We are happy to advise you about this and, if requested, can also take on this role.
