Three consecutive consignments from Shenzhen to Kyiv in 96 hours each, including lithium batteries and same-day customs clearance.
The launch date had been announced publicly and could not move. The manufacturer released production eleven days late, destroying the original sea plan.
We switched to air on three separate flights, prepared the Section II lithium battery documentation in advance and pre-lodged the customs declaration before departure.

The decision
The freight differential was about EUR 34,000. The client valued a missed launch at EUR 210,000 in direct losses plus reputational damage. The arithmetic was unambiguous, and it — not the tariff — drove the decision.

Documentation
The manufacturer supplied an outdated UN 38.3 report. We spotted it four days before departure and obtained an updated document directly from the laboratory. Had the check happened at the airport, the consignment would have returned to the shipper.
The first consignment reached the client’s warehouse three days and fourteen hours after factory pickup. The launch happened on the announced date.
