International Delivery of Non-Standard Cargo: A Complex Process Requiring Experience and a Reliable Logistics Company
In the field of international cargo transportation, not all cargo comes in standard sizes and parameters. Businesses and individuals often face challenges when they need to handle non-standard, oversized, heavy, or fragile cargo transportation. This type of cargo goes beyond classical freight services and requires a specialized approach.
What is Non-Standard Cargo?
Non-standard cargo includes:
- Very large or heavy machinery (construction equipment, excavators, factory equipment, etc.)
- Fragile and valuable works of art
- Construction materials, raw materials, metal structures
- Explosive materials and hazardous raw substances
- Excise cargo such as automotive oils, alcohol, tobacco products
- Food products requiring phytosanitary, veterinary certificates
For this kind of cargo transportation, it is crucial to choose an experienced logistics company that can organize the process of freight forwarding properly. For example, when handling cargo delivery from China to Armenia, we use air, land, and sea freight services depending on the cargo type.
Key factors in transporting such cargo include dimensions and weight, type of cargo, loading and unloading conditions, and national and international legislation.
Main Challenges of International Cargo Delivery
- Customs Clearance Non-standard cargo often requires special classification, which demands additional documentation. An inexperienced logistics company may cause delays or refusals at the border. Our logistics services include professional customs clearance for every country.
- Choosing the Right Transport Mode Depending on the cargo specifics, various trucks, ships, or aircraft—sometimes specially modified—are used. During international cargo transportation, it’s essential to collaborate with reliable logistics companies, such as Clever Logistics.
- Cargo Insurance and Security Transporting such cargo involves risks; therefore, cargo insurance and professional monitoring throughout the route are a must. Our logistics services guarantee complete cargo insurance coverage for the entire journey.
- Route and Import Restrictions Some countries impose restrictions on size, weight, or cargo type. Proper route planning prevents problems in advance. Before any freight forwarding, we calculate the route to minimize risks and delays.
