Packing and Export Logistics
Coil that arrives rusted, dented or with a damaged edge is a production stoppage no matter how well it was specified. Packing and documentation are part of the product, and they are decided before the coil leaves the mill.
How This Works Stage by Stage
Each stage is a place where coil orders normally go wrong, and what we do differently there.
Packing Specification
The problemStandard mill packing is designed for domestic road transport, not for weeks of humidity in a container.
How we handle itPacking is specified for the route and the material, with attention to moisture protection and to the edges that get handled.
Loading and Securing
The problemCoil that moves in transit damages its own edges and everything near it.
How we handle itLoading pattern and securing are planned so coils do not shift, with orientation chosen for how they will be unloaded.
Documentation
The problemMissing or inconsistent paperwork holds material at the border long after the ship has arrived.
How we handle itShipping and customs documentation is prepared alongside the order so the description, the grade and the certificate agree with each other.
Arrival Handover
The problemA problem found on arrival has no clear owner once several parties are involved.
How we handle itWe stay the single point of contact after arrival, so a query about a coil goes to the same people who specified it.
