## Company Profile Heinrich Koch Internationale Spedition GmbH & Co. KG — German freight forwarder (contact: vertrieb@koch-international.de). Publicly available evidence (customer telephone list PDF dated Dec 2025) shows an established operations team; no full corporate website scraped in this research step. As a Germany-based forwarder the firm likely provides international sea, air and road forwarding and multimodal services for importers/exporters across Europe; typical customers would include industrial shippers, food/agri importers and exporters that rely on corridor logistics into Germany. ## Pain Points 1) Compliance & data burden: CBAM monetary phase, ACI air pre‑declaration and tighter customs rules force forwarders to collect supplier-level emissions and origin data; lacking this, forwarders face default CBAM values, delayed clearances and unpredictable landed costs. 2) Sourcing & routing disruption for agri clients: Reduced Ukrainian volumes and new tariffs on Russian/Belarus fertilizers/products are shifting German importers to multiple alternative origins (EU, Latin America, North Africa), increasing multimodal routing complexity and fragmenting load sizes. 3) Margin & capacity pressure + financial risk: 2026 volatility in Asia–Europe rates, excess capacity in some trades, and rising insolvencies among logistics customers/subcontractors compress margins and increase counterparty risk — forcing forwarders to add value or lose clients. ## Intel Summary === MULTI-DIMENSION RESEARCH === === 1.

([kpmg.com](https://kpmg.com/de/en/insights/sustainable-business-practices/cbam-creation-of-equal-competition-conditions.html?utm_source=openai)) - Germany’s emissions authority (DEHSt) clarified that **no partial/quarterly CBAM verification is possible in 2026**; only **full‑year, verified emissions reports** are valid for compliance, creating a **lag between operational decisions and final verified data**, complicating pricing and risk management for forwarders. ([argusmedia.com](https://www.argusmedia.com/news-and-insights/latest-market-news/2779754-no-cbam-verification-in-2026----dehst?utm_source=openai)) - A CBAM‑focused industry article (April 2026) reports that **most forwarders are still unable to precisely quantify CBAM costs for clients**, leading to: - Use of **default emissions values**, which are designed to be conservative and thus expensive; - Risk of **unexpected surcharges, delayed customs clearance due to data discrepancies**, and difficulty forecasting landed costs. ([seawayshipservices.com](https://www.seawayshipservices.com/maritime-intelligence.php?article=cbam-s-quiet-crisis-eu-carbon-tax-hits-supply-chains-forwarders-struggle-to-price-a2ccb6&utm_source=openai)) - Matchory’s 2026 procurement analysis states that **about 75% of German companies cannot fully report emissions from non‑EU suppliers (or only partially)**; and that in 2026, **CBAM default values shift from global averages to country‑specific values with mark‑ups**, significantly increasing costs for supply chains with poor data. ([matchory.com](https://matchory.com/en/articles/cbam-csddd-the-data-void-the-procurement-challenge-of-2026?utm_source=openai)) **3) Emissions‑based road tolling & domestic green rules** - A German logistics challenges report for Q1 2026 notes that **CO₂‑differentiated road tolling is expanding**, and Germany’s toll structure and exemptions are evolving into 2026. Forwarders must **measure, report, and budget for variable toll costs**, while many shippers simultaneously demand **lower emissions and lower freight rates**. ([ecommercegermany.com](https://ecommercegermany.com/blog/german-logistics-challenges/?utm_source=openai)) - DVZ outlines that **zero‑emission trucks benefit from toll exemptions**, pushing fleet decisions and subcontractor selection, and that from **August 2026, the EU AI Act will apply**, adding compliance obligations for AI‑driven logistics planning and pricing tools used by German forwarders. ([dvz.de](https://www.dvz.de/unternehmen/luft/detail/news/das-muessen-logistiker-2026-beachten.html?utm_source=openai)) **4) Supply chain visibility & data integration** - German logistics commentary emphasizes that **digitalization and AI are seen as key levers to absorb regulatory and cost shocks**, but that many mid‑tier forwarders lack the capital and in‑house IT skills to implement advanced control towers, TMS upgrades, and emissions‑tracking tools rapidly. ([ecommercegermany.com](https://ecommercegermany.com/blog/german-logistics-challenges/?utm_source=openai)) - The rise of **digital freight platforms** and networks in Germany (evolving from load boards to integrated marketplaces) increases competitive pressure on traditional forwarders who cannot offer similar **real‑time visibility, instant pricing and integrated documentation workflows**. ([gettransport.com](https://gettransport.com/articles/digital-freight-platforms-germany-market-landscape?utm_source=openai)) **5) Capacity and rate volatility** - Despite an overall picture of **soft demand and excess capacity** in container shipping and air freight, 2026 continues to feature: - Sharp **rate swings on Asia–Europe** linked to seasonal demand, carrier capacity discipline, and geopolitical disruptions (e.g., Red Sea, Hormuz); - Announced GRIs of up to **+USD 2,000/FEU** on Asia–Europe lanes against a backdrop of skepticism about their stickiness.
