REQUIREMENTS FOR TRANSPORTATION OF WHITE GOODS
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 a complex and detailed procedure for the transport of hi-tech goods. Before executing transport it is necessary to receive a number of certificates regarding safety.
Transportation of household appliances and electronics is a process that 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 vulnerable type of cargo, it is necessary to ensure the safety of the goods during transport. The main condition for the safety of transported household equipment is the maintenance of an optimum temperature and humidity regime inside the vehicle. Electronic products are highly sensitive to climatic conditions. In the case of a temperature regime violation and/or 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.
In view of the particular importance of maintaining the optimum temperature, the transportation of white goods by road is carried out exclusively by 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 no less dangerous to the condition and properties of 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. AsstrA carefully monitors changes in domestic and international regulations concerning the cargo transportation of hi-tech equipment and other products. Delivery is safe, fast, and appropriate for 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 of 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 the proper transportation of hi-tech equipment, as they are classified as perishable goods that experience negative side effects of long-term storage.
International transportation of household appliances by air, by train or sea are less popular, as these modes require transshipment and may experience additional delays during delivery. 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. AsstrA uses not only its own resources but also cooperates with reliable transport Partners whose vehicles all have a complete set of technical documentation. Experienced AsstrA specialists select a vehicle specally-adapted for the transportation of household appliances depending on specific cargo properties and customer needs. If necessary, our employees create multimodal shipping schemes using air, road, sea and rail transport.
