One of the special segments of international logistics is the transportation of general cargo. Its specificity lies in the delivery of a batch of pre-packaged piece goods, which occupies the entire volume of cargo space. Such cargo cannot be combined, it is not cross-docked, it has only one accompanying document. Transportation by all types of transport is possible: by air, sea, road, rail. The first is considered the fastest, the second is safe, the third is inexpensive, and the fourth is unpretentious. By focusing on the transportation of large shipments, it is possible to minimize customer costs and simplify paperwork. To ensure the safety of the goods on the road, a number of checks are carried out before shipment: serviceability of locks, tightness of packaging, integrity of seals, compliance with labeling. Measures are being taken to protect the cargo from the effects of extreme temperatures and dust.
If the transportation is not multimodal, one package of accompanying documents is required for the transportation of general cargo.
This is achieved through the use of modern equipment and transport, as well as the transportation of cargo along the entire route in one container.
Transportation of large volumes of goods allows you to optimize transportation costs, simplify the process of paperwork with customs authorities and cargo tracking.
Due to the formation of a single batch, there is no need to complete the combined cargo and to carry out additional loading and unloading operations.
With its help, compliance with all requirements for loading, transportation and storage of goods is ensured.
Along the way, the integrity of the packaging, the strength of the attachment points and the overall safety of the goods are checked.
These are piece products, one batch of goods, which is transported only in individual packaging (boxes, barrels, containers, bags, etc.) or on reinforced cargo areas.

Yes, moisture-sensitive loads receive the «В» index. Products sensitive to dust and dirt, as well as sources of pollution, are marked with the letter «G». Materials that provoke corrosion or are susceptible to it are designated by the cipher «K». Dangerous goods are marked as «O». Products with a persistent odor are «Z». Releasing heat – «T». The «P» marking indicates the need to comply with strict requirements for temperature, humidity and ventilation.
The cost of transporting general cargo is usually higher than shipping by other means. Long and careful preparation may be required to arrange transportation.
Minimal risks of damage to expensive goods, the possibility of transporting bulky goods and large shipments, low price compared to other modes of transport.
