GLOBAL CARGO SYSTEM

Global Cargo System USA celebrates its first anniversary

This month we celebrate the first anniversary of GLOBAL CARGO SYSTEM USA. After more than 20 years in the logistics industry, last year we took the big step of expanding into the United States with the opening of our Miami Office, a strategic move in our mission to offer global logistics solutions. Since our arrival, we have strengthened our ability to handle large-scale import and export operations, efficiently utilizing sea, air, and land transportation. Our Miami office has been consolidated as a key hub for international trade. We have managed to establish a solid bridge between the US market and countries such as Spain, China or Vietnam. This has allowed us to successfully manage a wide range of logistics projects, from routine import and export operations to the transport of large-scale project cargo via sea, air, and land. The Miami office is not only a point of growth but an essential part of our global network, daily boosting our ability to offer customized logistics solutions. We take this moment to express our most sincere gratitude to those who have trusted us: our clients, our logistics partners, and the entire Global Cargo System team that has made this project a solid and reliable operation. At Global Cargo System, we advance with firm steps, connecting markets and generating value for everyone.

Health and Quality Control at Customs: Requirements for Importing Products for Human Consumption

All imports of goods intended for human consumption, whether of animal or non-animal origin, must undergo mandatory health/quality control upon arrival in the European Union. This control is managed by Foreign Health and the Ministry of Trade, which must approve such operations in advance. This is a key measure to ensure food safety and protect public health. Products subject to this control include: POACH (products of animal origin for human consumption, such as meat, fish, dairy products, etc.) PONACH (products of non-animal origin also for human consumption, such as oils, supplements, beverages, etc.) POANCH (products of animal origin intended for the pharmaceutical industry or other non-food uses) All goods for human consumption must be registered in the General Health Register of Food and Food Companies, managed by the Spanish Food Safety and Nutrition Agency (AESAN). This register certifies that both the company and the products comply with current regulations. Where are these controls carried out? Health checks are carried out physically at the first port of unloading in the EU, i.e. the BIPs (Border Inspection Posts), which are points authorised by the authorities where it is verified that the goods meet all the requirements. There, the documentation, transport conditions and labelling are inspected and, if necessary, samples are taken for analysis. What documentation is required to pass this control? In addition to the health control, all goods that do not have EU status, i.e. that come from outside the European Union, must be accompanied by the DUA (Single Administrative Document). This document is essential for legally declaring the goods to customs and being able to market them. For the importation of products subject to health checks, a Health/Phytosanitary Certificate issued at the point of origin, a Health Declaration and a list of ingredients are required. To facilitate and speed up this process, it is recommended to submit the PREDUA which is an incomplete and advance declaration before the goods arrive at the port. Thanks to this declaration, customs agents can obtain the MRN (goods reference number) in advance, which speeds up the clearance process and reduces waiting times, especially for sensitive or perishable products. Conclusion The importation of food and pharmaceutical products from non-EU countries is subject to a series of strict controls to protect consumer health. Complying with Foreign Health requirements, submitting the DUA and anticipating with the PREDUA are key steps for fast, legal and efficientAt Global Cargo System, we have a qualified team to help you manage these procedures professionally, ensuring that your operation complies with all current regulations.

GCS dyes its trucks and containers pink in support of breast cancer awareness month.

In line with its ongoing commitment to the health and well-being of its employees and communities, GCS Spain has launched a local campaign to coincide with breast cancer awareness month, involving everything that surrounds us marks our day to day. For us it is essential to raise awareness among our staff, customers and the general public about the disease and the importance of being aware and staying alert for its early detection and prevention. As part of its campaign, GCS Spain has illuminated its main office in Valencia in pink, and has taken containers and trucks out to sea and onto the streets with the breast cancer awareness ribbon. According to the WHO “Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer, worldwide two million cases of breast cancer are diagnosed each year.” The diagnosis has an indescribable emotional impact on each patient, but also on the family , friends and colleagues.As an integral member of the communities in which we operate, and with a large community of employees, Global Cargo System joins the fight against breast cancer and wants to do its part to help raise awareness of that prevention and early detection is essential. Since 1980 important advances have been made in the treatment of breast cancer; between the 1980s and 2020, age-standardized breast cancer mortality in high-income countries fell by 40%. In low- and middle-income countries these improvements have yet to be achieved. The improvement in results is the result of the combination of early detection and effective therapies, based on surgery, radiotherapy and pharmacotherapy. According to Geicam (the association for breast cancer research) estimates that in Spain there are about 132 cases of women who suffer from it for every 100,000 citizens. The chance of developing breast cancer is about 1 in 8 women. From Global Cargo System, we want to send a message of solidarity and support to all the people and families who are fighting against this disease.

Golden week and its effects on shipping

Golden Week, one of the main commemorations of the Asian giant that has major effects on logistics companies. WHAT IS GOLDEN WEEK? On October 1, the festive week known as Golden Week begins in China and therefore many companies close throughout the country during that week (October 1-7) to celebrate the People’s Republic of China. These are days that many families take advantage of to rest and meet with their loved ones. The term “Golden Week” is used in China to refer to the main holiday periods celebrated in the country, as well as the Lunar New Year, which last between 7 and 8 days in which factories, shops and production in general they close and only the minimum service of essential companies is guaranteed. HOW CHINESE HOLIDAYS AFFECT SHIPPING. China’s influence in the international market is so great that although the shutdown of production across the country is well known and anticipated, it has the potential to cause major problems in the global logistics chain. One of the consequences of the Golden Week in maritime transport is the lack of space and delays, together with the cancellation of services by shipping companies during the festivities, which causes a shortage of space in containers and triggers overbooking in ports and terminals that can take several weeks. At Global Cargo System we have SOC (shipper owned container) which can be a benefit for our customers. On the other hand, with all this, it is not difficult to imagine that another consequence of Golden Week is the increase in the price of containers. The effects that all this can have on the logistics sector can be caused by the consequences mentioned above but also by the repercussions of the COVID pandemic and the measures to be carried out. HOW TO MANAGE YOUR SHIPMENTS DURING GOLDEN WEEK The effects that this holiday has on the logistics sector and the entire world are inevitable, but at GCS we can help you plan to prepare your shipments so that their effects on your business are as mild as possible. Good planning begins by knowing which merchandise is most urgent and prioritizing its shipment as well as looking for alternative routes. United Win offices in China will be closed from October 1 to 7. In our commitment to provide coverage throughout the world, Global Cargo System is present in China through United Win, which, with ten offices in the country, is in charge of planning all operations. In addition, United Win maintains a close relationship with shipping companies, in this way during the Golden Week festivities if something happens, we will continue together with our clients offering the best service. In addition, through our “One Desk” service, customers will be able to track loads.
