Drinks and Tobacco Logistics

Logistics services for manufacturers of beer, wine, spirits and tobacco products involve complex supply chains that cross international borders, connecting growers and traders of the raw ingredients with manufacturing plants, bottling facilities and retailers. These supply chains are heavily regulated, with strict guidelines for the manufacture, transport and storage of these products. At Kuehne+Nagel, we provide comprehensive logistics services that cover every aspect of your supply chain.

When transporting beer, wine, spirits and tobacco, freight forwarding and customs clearance become specialised activities. Our logistics specialists are up to date with all regulations, including the European Union’s Tobacco Products Directive (TPD) and Excise Movement and Control System (EMCS). As market trends for tobacco change, we can provide you with solutions that address industry needs such as alternative supply chains for new generation products (heat not burn or vapor-based) tobacco products. Product integrity and the secure transportation of your goods is guaranteed via serialisation and our track and trace technology, which informs you of any tampering or unexpected deviation.

Here’s how we can support you:

• Dedicated wine and spirits specialists via our KN Vinlog solution

• Track and trace your shipments using myKN

• Use our insurance options for greater peace of mind

• Complete compliance with all regional and national regulations

• Our customs and tax experts can handle all relevant paperwork
