Frequently Asked Questions

How do customs procedures, ATR/EUR.1 documentation and import taxes work for United States?
Thanks to the EU–Turkey Customs Union and bilateral trade agreements, industrial manufactured steel building modules are exported with ATR or EUR.1 certificates, enabling zero customs duty on industrial goods. Only local destination VAT is assessed according to United States tax rules, which is typically reclaimable by registered commercial developers.
Are SERMODULA architectural and Eurocode structural calculation dossiers accepted for building permits in United States?
Yes. All structural systems are calculated according to Eurocode (EN 1990, EN 1991, EN 1993, EN 1998) including the relevant National Annex for United States. We deliver native open-BIM (IFC), 3D Revit models, connection detail calculations and thermal/acoustic reports directly to your local Architect of Record or verification engineer (Prüfstatiker/Contrôleur Technique) for smooth statutory clearance.
Who manages heavy transport permits, route surveys and escorted logistics to the jobsite in United States?
SERMODULA manages international factory-to-site freight through vetted logistics partners specialized in abnormal volumetric transport. This includes bridge load assessments, overhead clearance surveys, regional road authority escort permits and scheduled just-in-time delivery matching the on-site crane erection timetable.
How long does on-site crane assembly take, and does SERMODULA send an engineering supervisor to United States?
A multi-storey modular building typically achieves weather-tight envelope closure in 2 to 5 days, erecting 4 to 8 modules per working day. SERMODULA always deploys an experienced lead structural supervisor to the site in United States to oversee crane rigging, verify foundation bolt alignment and guarantee mechanical joint torque specifications.
How are local United States climate conditions (snow loads, wind storms, freeze depth) addressed in factory engineering?
Modules are not generic boxes; they are custom-engineered for your exact project coordinates. We configure external mineral wool insulation thicknesses (achieving wall U-values down to 0.12–0.14 W/m²K), install triple-glazed argon windows, and size structural column and roof beam profiles according to localized Eurocode snow and wind zone maps.
