✅REQUIREMENTS FOR TRANSPORTATION
The legal regulation of the transport of hi-tech products is complicated by the absence of a single international (or national) normative legal act that would contain an exhaustive list of rules for the carriage of this type of cargo. The rules concerning the transportation of household appliances are determined case-by-case according to which mode of transport is used and the countries through which the delivery route passes. In each specific case, hauliers refer to the rules for the carriage of goods by road, rail, air or sea transport, international conventions, and technical legal acts. Norms governing process for the safe transportation of household equipment are contained in numerous technical regulations, certification rules, and documents establishing sanitary, hygienic and technical standards for the transportation of electronic products. All of these regulations establish complex and detailed procedures for the transport of hi-tech goods. Before executing transport it is necessary to receive a number of safety certificates.
Transportation of household appliances and electronics requires expertise from hauliers and transport providers to ensure high performance and consistent compliance with all safety rules and hygienic requirements. Since hi-tech goods are seen as a valuable and easy-to-resell, it is necessary to ensure the safety of the goods during transport. Maintenance of an optimum temperature and humidity regime inside the vehicle is critical for the safety of transported household equipment. Electronic products are highly sensitive to temperature. In case a temperature regime is not stuck to or there is a sudden fluctuation in air temperature, the electronic equipment can be damaged. The cargo best retains its consumer properties when the temperature is stable. Since maintaining the temperature regime is vital for cargo safety, refrigerated vehicles play a key role in the safe transportation of electronics.
Given the imporance of maintaining an optimum temperature, the transportation of white goods by road is carried out exclusively with refrigerated vehicles. However, in this case as well, the risk of sharp temperature fluctuations remains high, especially during loading and unloading operations. During loading and unloading, you should avoid cargo cooling and heating. High temperatures are just as dangerous for white goods as electronic devices. To minimize the harmful effects of humidity and temperature fluctuations, refrigerated vehicles and containers with the ability to maintain a temperature regime are used for the transportation of household appliances. We carefully monitor changes in domestic and international regulations concerning the cargo transportation of hi-tech equipment and other products. Delivery is safe, fast, and tailored to the characteristics of each particular product.

✅TYPES OF VEHICLE
The transportation of household appliances and electronics requires specially-adapted equipment for sea, rail, air, and road transport. Each vehicle must be dry and possess an adequate ventilation system. For the safety of electronic goods in the vehicle, it is necessary to maintain an appropriate temperature. Thermographs – special devices that help monitor air temperature – are used along the entire route. Services for the transportation white goods by road are in particular demand, as road transport guarantees the fastest delivery. Trucking operations do not depend on the schedule of railway stations or airports and can use flexible routing to transport goods door-to-door. Fast delivery is a necessary component of a proper hi-tech equipment transportation project. That is because this equipment is often classified as perishable goods that experience negative side effects of long-term storage. The international transportation of household appliances by other modes – air, rail, or sea – is less popular, as these modes require transshipment and may cause additional delivery delays.
An important requirement for the safe transportation of electronic goods is the fastening of cargo on a vehicle. Containers with electronic goods are fixed in such way as to avoid displacement or slippage during all steps of carriage. Secure fastenings help avoid the loss of cargo. The rules for the transport of fragile cargoes prescribe special labeling for packages. Distinctive marks on boxes and packaging indicate the nature of the goods and may contain spatial reference points and other information that indicates its properties. We use both our own resources and those of reliable transport partners whose vehicles all have a complete set of technical documentation. Our experienced specialists select vehicles specally adapted for the transportation of household appliances depending on the specific cargo properties and customer needs. If necessary, our employees create multimodal shipping schemes using air, road, sea and rail transport.
