Freight shipping
International freight shipping is carried out by road, rail, sea and air. Shipping by road is the most popular option. It provides an attractive price and can be carried out 24/7, since it does not depend on the working hours of ports or airports. A variety of trucks and trailers allows shipping different freights, including perishable ones.Large lots of heavy freights are mostly shipped by rail, whereby the rolling stock capacity can exceed 500 tons. Marine vessels are most in demand in intercontinental freight shipping, while an aircraft is the best solution for shipping perishable goods. A specific means of transport is selected based on freight features and its terms of delivery.
Insurance
Transport and logistics companies put a lot of effort to ensure the preservation of freight (special means of transport, fastening systems, detailed route planning, etc.). However, despite these measures, there is still a risk of freight loss or damage during transportation. Losses can be minimized through insurance. It can cover all the risks and provides full compensation. For limited insurance, a compensation is paid if goods loss or damage is due to certain circumstances (insured event).Warehousing services
Warehousing services are a broad range of activities that helps to expedite delivery and optimize costs. It includes freight consolidation, responsible storage, handling (labeling, packaging, etc.) and cross docking. Goods requiring special storage conditions, e.g. temperature control, can also be stored in warehouses. For this, the premises are provided with the necessary equipment such as cooling installations.Customs services
Fast customs clearance is another prerequisite for timely delivery. It requires a profound knowledge of customs escort laws of a certain country. Customs services include assistance in drawing up consignment notes and declarations, translation of documents, classification of goods according to customs commodity codes, deconsolidation, declaration, advising, etc.Over 27 years, AsstrA Group of Companies has been carrying out international freight shipping and providing insurance, customs escort and warehousing services.
