Overview

Sometimes every minute counts. When an automotive supplier urgently needed to transport about 100 car seats from Tunisia to Germany, flexibility and speed were essential.

Challenge

Time was of the essence: The car seats needed to reach the factory as quickly as possible, but conventional transport routes were either too slow or unavailable. Import customs clearance in Frankfurt also threatened to become a bottleneck.

Solution

MBS Anytime went for speed and altitude: The car seats took off directly into the skies via a charter flight from Tunis to Frankfurt. Opting for a charter flight ensured a prioritised process, avoiding the limitations of regular air freight. An electronic pre-notification and the printed waybill further accelerated the customs process.

On arrival, an Anytime employee collected the seats directly from the passenger area and presented them to customs officers. No congestion at the cargo terminal, no waiting for clearance – just fast and personal handling.

Result

The car seats arrived at the factory on time for assembly. A team of customs officers and police at the baggage claim area even helped load the seats onto trolleys quickly, ensuring that other passengers experienced minimal delays. The long-standing, trusted cooperation between MBS Anytime and the authorities proved invaluable.
