These two highlights reflect a shared ambition: to consolidate Nexline’s footprint in France and strengthen its international logistics capabilities. Nexline’s strategic partnership with crossLog international The partnership between Nexline and CrossLog International represents the first major milestone. Based in France, this logistics warehouse specialized in storage and inventory management complements Nexline’s international transport and freight forwarding activities. Why is this strategic?

By combining local presence, a global network, and integrated logistics solutions, Nexline continues to reinforce its position in international logistics.
International logistics: Building a reliable and long-term partnership
Valentine’s Day is not only about personal relationships. In international logistics, relationships matter just as much. Lead times, costs, and coordination are strategic. In this environment, the quality of professional relationships becomes a true performance driver. In our industry, we often speak about flows, deadlines, and processes. Yet what truly gives meaning to these operations are the people behind them. Human relationships are what make global logistics possible. At Nexline, this conviction guides the way we design and manage international logistics flows. Strong relationships at the core of performance A high-performing supply chain does not rely only on technology, information systems, or performance indicators. These tools are essential. However, they do not guarantee reliability on their own. This is especially true on strategic trade lanes such as Asia–Europe. In a complex global environment performance depends above all on strong relationships between stakeholders: clients, logistics partners, carriers, and local teams. Trust and loyalty make the difference. They allow risks to be anticipated, disruptions to be reduced, and operations to continue smoothly. At Nexline, we believe that a reliable logistics partner is defined first by the quality of the long-term relationship it builds. In practical terms, this relationship is built on four key pillars: These principles make a tangible difference in the daily management of logistics operations.A high-performing supply chain in international logistics does not rely solely on technology, information systems, or performance indicators. These tools are essential. But they are not enough to guarantee the reliability of international flows, especially on strategic trade lanes such as Asia–Europe. Committed teams to secure international flows Internally as well, the strength of relationships plays a decisive role in managing international logistics flows. Teamwork, responsiveness, and the smooth circulation of information are essential drivers of effective coordination. Unexpected events are part of daily operations: capacity adjustments, delays, regulatory constraints. Cohesive and committed teams make it possible to anticipate risks, maintain operational continuity, and sustainably secure the supply chain. Because beyond processes and performance indicators, it is human relationships that give real meaning to our profession. And you, what do you value most about your work?

Nexline Group Bangladesh celebrates its first anniversary
One year ago, Nexline Group took a decisive step in its international development by opening offices in Dhaka and Chittagong, two strategic logistics hubs in South Asia. The ambition was clear from day one: make Bangladesh a cornerstone of Nexline’s global logistics network. Twelve months later, that vision has become a tangible reality, supported by strong operational performance, rapid team growth, and a long-term commitment to the country. Nexline Group Bangladesh: a strategic pillar of the global network A market with growing international weight Over the past 15 years, Bangladesh has emerged as a key player in global trade, driven by several structural factors: For logistics and supply chain players, Bangladesh is no longer an emerging market — it is a strategic hub that connects Asia to Europe, the Middle East, and North America. Recognizing this evolution early on, Nexline positioned itself locally to better serve international flows and support customers with direct operational expertise on the ground. One year of operational growth and strong results Rapid team expansion in Dhaka and Chittagong Since the opening of the offices, the local team has doubled in size, reflecting both the growth in activity and Nexline’s commitment to building a strong, autonomous presence in Bangladesh. This growth is driven by a highly committed local team, combining market knowledge, operational agility, and international logistics standards. Key logistics performance indicators After one year of operations, Nexline Group Bangladesh closes January with solid and consistent volumes: Air freight performance Sea-air solutions via Dubai These results confirm the relevance of Nexline’s positioning in Bangladesh, particularly for time-sensitive and hybrid transport solutions combining speed, reliability, and cost efficiency.

Container space management: a key challenge in international logistics
Container space management plays a decisive role in the performance of international logistics operations. It involves planning and organising cargo in order to use container capacity efficiently, while complying with safety, weight and regulatory constraints. A rigorous approach makes it possible to better control costs, lead times and the reliability of logistics flows. At Nexline, we view this issue as a core topic in international logistics, particularly within complex and often multimodal transport chains. What is container space management? Is based on precise load preparation. It involves calculating usable volume, total weight, cargo distribution and selecting the most suitable container. The objective is to avoid wasted space, load imbalances and non-compliance issues that can lead to additional costs or delays. Poor anticipation at this stage can affect the entire supply chain, from transport operations through to final delivery. Container space management by container type Choosing the right container is the first step towards effective space management. Dry Van container Used for most non-perishable general cargo, packed in cartons or on pallets. Reefer container Designed for goods requiring temperature control, with specific constraints related to air circulation and cargo positioning. Open Top and Flat Rack containers Suitable for oversized cargo or heavy loads when standard dimensions are not sufficient. High Cube container Offering additional internal height, it allows better use of volume for bulky goods. Container space management: key optimisation factors Volume and weight calculation Each container has strict limits in terms of gross weight and usable volume. Balanced load distribution is essential to ensure transport stability and compliance. Cargo organisation and stability Heavier goods are positioned at the bottom, while lighter items are placed on top, using appropriate securing solutions. This organisation limits load movement during transport. Packaging and unitisation The use of standardised pallets, stackable cartons and suitable strapping systems improves stability and facilitates handling operations. Safety and regulatory compliance Compliance with international regulations, such as the CTU Code or the SOLAS requirement for Verified Gross Mass (VGM) declaration, is essential to secure shipments and avoid non-compliance. Container space management: advanced approaches Load planning tools Load planning solutions make it possible to digitally simulate cargo placement within the container, anticipate imbalances and identify areas of unused space before actual loading. Cargo consolidation Consolidating goods from multiple shipments allows more efficient use of container capacity and helps reduce unit transport costs. Multimodal coordination When a container moves across several transport modes, space management must take into account the specific constraints of each one in order to avoid unnecessary handling or adjustments along the route. CHECK OUT OUR TRANSPORT SERVICES Effective space management helps better control logistics costs, secure goods and streamline operations throughout the transport chain. It also contributes to reducing environmental impact by making more rational use of available transport capacity. At Nexline, we approach container space management as a fundamental principle of international logistics: planning with precision, loading consistently and coordinating flows to ensure reliable, sustainable and well-controlled operations.
A year-end culinary stopover at Nexline: celebrating team diversity
The end of the year is a special time to come together and share. At Nexline, this period was an opportunity to celebrate Christmas and the New Year around a convivial moment that reflects what makes the group strong: team diversity and a collaborative spirit. Through a simple and collective initiative, Nexline wanted to mark the end of the year by highlighting cultures, exchanges and the bonds that unite teams on a daily basis. Diversity at the heart of Nexline’s culture Diversity is not an abstract concept at Nexline, but a reality experienced every day within the teams. It is reflected in the backgrounds, origins, experiences and perspectives that make up the group. Nexline teams with multiple horizons Present in different environments and connected internationally, Nexline teams reflect the diversity of the world in which international logistics operates. This diversity is a real strength, fostering openness, understanding of local challenges and the ability to work together. Sharing cultures beyond the professional setting To celebrate this collective richness, Nexline organised a year-end culinary stopover, built around a 100% homemade buffet. Everyone contributed by sharing recipes from all corners of the world, turning this moment into an experience of discovery and conviviality. This time of sharing illustrates the importance placed on relationships between teams and on building lasting connections beyond day-to-day operations. Moments that strengthen team spirit Year-end highlights are also an opportunity to strengthen cohesion and to reaffirm the values that shape Nexline’s identity. The Nexline Team, the driving force of the collective Behind every project and every operation are the teams that bring the group’s momentum to life. These shared moments are a reminder that success is built on collective commitment, cooperation and trust. Diversity, lived and celebrated, thus becomes a lever for unity and performance. CHECK OUT OUR TRANSPORT SERVICES As the year draws to a close, Nexline is already looking ahead.

Logistics during the holiday season: a key moment for international supply chains
The end of the year is a singular period. As exchanges intensify on a global scale and orders multiply, international logistics enters one of the most demanding phases of the year. The holiday season corresponds to a marked peak in activity, where every flow must be anticipated with precision in order to preserve the fluidity of supply chains. Year-end logistics: a surge in orders that requires anticipation As the holidays approach, volumes increase sharply, deadlines tighten, and coordination becomes decisive. In this context, anticipation helps secure shipments, limit unforeseen events, and absorb the pressure linked to the concentration of demand. At Nexline, this period highlights just how essential advance preparation is, particularly during moments as strategic as the end of the year. Planning flows ahead of time makes it possible to approach these peaks in activity with greater serenity and reliability. Teams mobilised to ensure continuity of flows Behind every shipment are teams that coordinate, adjust and support operations on a daily basis. During the holiday period, their commitment and responsiveness play a central role in maintaining the continuity of exchanges despite increased constraints. Year-end logistics highlights the importance of teamwork, communication and the ability to react quickly in the face of unforeseen events. Anticipation as the key to fluidity In times of strong demand, acting upstream is essential. Planning, booking, coordinating and securing flows helps limit risks and ensure continuity of operations. At Nexline, this period further underlines the importance of anticipating. The holidays cannot be improvised, and neither can logistics. It is by preparing operations in advance that supply chains remain fluid, even when activity reaches its peak. CHECK OUT OUR TRANSPORT SERVICES For Nexline, the end of the year is both a time of intense activity and a moment to take stock. It serves as a reminder that well-prepared supply chains rely on rigorous organization, constant anticipation, and coordinated teams at every stage. A message for the holiday season As the year draws to a close, the entire Nexline team would like to extend its best wishes to its partners, customers, and readers. We wish you a wonderful holiday season, a time to enjoy with your loved ones and start the new year with confidence and renewed energy.
New customs rule: EORI SIREN becomes mandatory from January 1, 2026
As of January 1, 2026, a major change will come into effect in trade with the European Union: the EORI SIREN number will become mandatory for all companies importing or exporting goods to or from the EU. This reform marks the end of the EORI number based on the SIRET, in favor of a single identifier linked to the company’s SIREN. It is a regulatory change that directly affects many players in international trade and logistics. What is the EORI number and why is it changing? The EORI number (Economic Operators Registration and Identification) is a mandatory customs identifier for any company carrying out import or export operations within the European Union. It enables customs authorities to identify economic operators reliably and in a harmonized way. Until now, some companies had several EORI numbers, linked to different establishments via the SIRET. This situation could create administrative complexity, data inconsistencies, and risks during customs declarations. The reform aims to simplify and harmonize these practices across Europe. CHECK OUT OUR TRANSPORT SERVICES What changes with the EORI SIREN One unique EORI number per company From 2026 onwards, each company will have only one EORI number, directly associated with its SIREN (9 digits). This puts an end to the multiplication of identifiers by site or establishment and makes the administrative management of customs operations easier. A new standardized format The number format is also changing: This change strengthens the consistency of the data used by European customs administrations and improves the readability of records. A process to anticipate via SOPRANO Affected companies can verify or update their EORI number via the SOPRANO platform provided by the authorities. It is strongly recommended to check the compliance of your EORI as early as possible to avoid any future disruption to your flows. What are the objectives of this reform? This regulatory change pursues several clear objectives: In the long term, this simplification contributes to clearer operations and more secure management of import-export flows. What Nexline recommends At Nexline, we see this change as part of a broader trend toward standardization and enhanced security of customs procedures across Europe. Companies that anticipate these changes gain operational fluidity and significantly reduce their risks. CHECK OUT OUR TRANSPORT SERVICES The mandatory switch to the EORI SIREN on January 1, 2026 is a key regulatory step for all companies involved in international trade. Beyond compliance, this reform is an opportunity to simplify processes and strengthen the reliability of customs operations. Anticipating today allows you to approach this transition with confidence and avoid any future blockages. In an increasingly demanding logistics environment, mastering customs obligations remains a decisive performance factor.

US customs regulations: what impact on international logistics?
Since the beginning of the year, the US administration has implemented a series of ambitious tariff regulations aimed at strengthening the country’s economic sovereignty. While these measures serve geopolitical objectives, they also have immediate repercussions on the global supply chain. At Nexline, we support our customers in responding to these new US customs regulations with agility, method and precision. A new deal for international trade The new tariff regulations have had the direct effect of drastically increasing customs duties on a large number of imported products, particularly those from China, Vietnam, the European Union and certain free trade areas. The sectors most affected are: Consequence: companies that export to the United States must adapt their logistics strategy to preserve their margins and avoid disruptions.
