✅TYPES OF CARGO
Domestic and international regulations governing the transportation of wooden boards as well as pulp and paper products vary depending on the type of cargo. The first cargo type is paper and paper products. This category includes all varieties of paper, e.g. paper used for printing, drawing, sketching, cigarettes, wrapping, and industrial-technical applications. It also includes cardboard e.g. that used for footwear boxing, printing, packing, etc. The main characteristics of paper products are hygroscopicity and sensitivity to temperature. Not keeping to a humidity regime and sudden temperature fluctuations lead to changes in color, texture, and durability. If humidity levels exceed the norm, paper and cardboard swell and become heavier, crumpled, and warped. In addition, such goods are susceptible to the effects of other harmful external factors. The paper decays under the influence of dirt, dust, light and mechanical damage e.g. compression, impact, pressure, or friction. In order to avoid cargo damage, paper products are transported in boxes with additional protection from mechanical impact. Paper and cardboard are placed in rolls in bales or packs. When shipping paper in rolls, a certain temperature and humidity must be maintained inside the vehicle.
The second cargo type is cellulose. Cellulose is the main raw material used in the manufacture of paper products. This type of product is also susceptible to the effects of moisture – it swells and decays when there is a high level of humidity. Therefore, to protect the cargo from external factors during transportation, it is necessary to comply with an appropriate temperature regime and avoid increased humidity and condensation. The third cargo type comprises wood and lumber. Wood reacts to high humidity and temperature fluctuations and is also susceptible to decay and vermin. In addition, lumber and industrial wood often differ in overall dimensions and can damage the cab and body of the vehicle. These factors, along with the type of wood and conditions along the shipment's route, determine the steps necessary to secure the wood. For example, the cargo may need to be fastened, the wood may need to be fastened to prevent decay and vermin, or weather-appropriate cargo packing may need to be used. We carefully monitor changes in the domestic and international legal regulation of cargo transportation and ensure that our shipments are fast, safe, and tailored to the characteristics of each product.

✅ TRANSPORTATION OF PAPER MAGAZINES AND PACKAGING
AsstrA customers in the pulp and paper industry rely on us to provide a range of transport and logistics services supporting the transportation of magazines and paper packaging. The corporate group’s experts guarantee the reliability of purpose-adapted vehicles and the professionalism of our carefully selected transport partners. Our experience is reinforced by our outstanding reputation in the international paper transport sector.
Because magazines and packaging are sensitive to changes in temperature and humidity, we ensure that the following requirements are met during transportation:
- During production, products are packaged in neat stacks of the same size. When being loaded, the packs are stacked evenly without kinks.
- The boxes in which the cargo is placed are made of durable and moisture-resistant material.
- Any free space in the boxes is filled with soft material.
- Magazines are packed in thick brown paper, tied with packing tape or twine, and wrapped in stretch film.
- Boxes are labeled according to their contents.
- Vehicles with closed bodies are used.
- Boxes are securely fixed inside the vehicles.
AsstrA experts are trained in Six Sigma, a production management system focused on ensuring quality for customers’ goods. Costs and process speeds are optimized to improve customer satisfaction. With this approach, clients work with a single point of contact who is responsible for the success of all the client’s shipments.

✅MODES OF TRANSPORT
Transportation of paper rolls by road, as well as the road transportation of wood, is a versatile and economical way to deliver such relatively light cargo. The execution of road transport does not depend on the timetables of ports, railway stations, or airports, and transportation therefore takes minimal time and may take place around the clock. The extensive advantages of road transport include the possibility to load a full truck, compliance with special temperature conditions, delivery of oversized and heavy cargo, and consolidation of cargoes in our partners’ warehouses in Europe, Asia, and the USA.
Sea transportation is a profitable, fast, and efficient solution for delivering paper rolls and wood over long distances. The containers used for sea shipping provide an additional security guarantee for transported goods. Advantages of sea container transportation include the availability of complete or partial container loads, large-scale transportation of bulk cargo, comprehensive cargo services in ports, and simplified customs procedures.
Transportation of paper rolls by rail, as well as the rail transportation of wood, is also a popular long-distance transportation solution. Advantages of rail transportation include fast delivery, the possibility of transshipment of any cargo, and the possibility of using special wagons, platforms, and containers. We offer transportation of wood and pulp and paper products by rail from Europe, the CIS, and Asia, from China, and from the USA to China. As the trains leave and arrive in strict accordance with a schedule, you can pre-order shipments and receive the goods within an agreed timeframe.
Transportation by air is an expensive but fast international delivery option for paper rolls and wood. Cargo aircraft have high load capacities which helps optimize costs when transporting goods over long distances. The advantages of the air transportation of pulp and paper products include the possibility of delivery from all international airports, the possibility to transport oversized cargo, the use of charter flights, full cargo service at airports, and the possibility of delivering goods to the consignee's warehouse. Our specialists' skill sets include attracting reliable transport partners, selecting suitable vehicles for waste paper products and wood, and understanding the characteristics of particular cargo. If necessary, our team structures combined schemes using air, road, sea, and rail transport.

✅REGULATIONS/DOCUMENTS
The rules governing the international transportation of paper in rolls and wood are determined on the basis of several criteria mode of transport, weight, cargo dimensions, and route. In each specific case, carriers refer to the rules for the carriage of all types of pulp and paper products and wood by the different modes of transport. It should also be taken into account that the legislation of many states establishes special rules for the wood and lumber industry and penalizes non-complicance. The rules regarding the transportation of wood and paper products are complex, as are the documents required for such transport. Documents to accompany wood transportation include phytosanitary certificates, certificates of origin, agreements with invoices and specifications, among others. Additionally, vehicles loaded with timber often exceed the acceptable size and weight standards and are classified as oversized shipments. In order to transport oversized cargo, special permits and approvals of the transport route are required along with other formalities. Norms governing the transportation of wood, pulp and paper products are contained in various technical regulations like GOST in particular. All these documents establish complex and detailed rules for the transportation of wood and waste paper. AsstrA not only ensures compliance with the relevant rules and regulation but also advises on the preparation of related documentation, including shipping documents, invoices, customs declarations, permits, and so forth.
We look forward to cooperating with you! For more information on our services, please contact us via our website or at our nearest AsstrA office.
