✅TYPES OF TRANSPORT
Road transport is the most convenient and affordable way to ship perfume and cosmetics industry products. Road transport operations are independent of railroad stations and air and sea port timetables, so transportation times are minimized and can be carried out virtually around the clock. The benefits of transportation by road transport include the possibility to deliver partial loads with consolidation and maintenance of the cargo at AsstrA partners’ warehouses in Italy, Germany, Lithuania, Poland and other European countries. When transporting perfume and cosmetics industry goods by road, we offer the option of either vans or tented trailers.

Delivery by railroad transport takes from 12 to 22 days depending on the delivery destination.
