AsstrA designs and provides effective solutions for valuable cargo transportation of any type. The transport of high-value goods like electrical appliances, high-tech electronics, industrial equipment, precious metals, perfume and pharmaceuticals, and other valuable cargo involves extra security requirements. Goods with a definition as valuable have a declared value above, for example, € 1000. What constitutes value cargo may change from shipment to shipment, from several hundred euros to more than a million euros. The amount of customs duties may also vary and directly affect the total cost of transportation.
AsstrA’s mission is to provide our customers with the safest, highest-quality transportation of high-value cargo, with minimal risk of damage or theft. At the AsstrA group, we offer our valued customers a full range of services related to high-value cargo transportation across Europe, the CIS, and Asia.

Our partnership with trusted transport companies allows us to provide fair prices and Swiss-quality cargo delivery.
