By the shipping of expensive goods, many mistakenly understand only antiques and jewellery. But the list of these cargoes should definitely include fragile and easily broken things, exotic plants and animals, exhibition items, precious metals, watches made of expensive materials, natural fur, hides, carpets, etc. The transportation of expensive goods is a responsible process and requires the fulfilment of certain requirements. In the end, the task of the forwarder is to deliver these items to their destination unharmed. Here are some important rules.

· Assess the risks inherent in the product. When shipping valuable cargoes, they should be kept away from possible risks as much as possible. For this reason, some expensive cargo may require special conditions of transportation. For example, antique dishes must be protected from any fluctuations, and old books must be protected from moisture.

· Precious cargo must be carefully inspected and properly packaged before shipment. The packaging must ensure the immobility of the cargo during transportation from possible shocks and unexpected dangerous situations. Therefore, depending on the type of precious cargo, you should choose the appropriate packaging option and packaging materials.

* When shipping expensive goods, it is necessary to be sure that the chosen shipper is trustworthy. Of course, this is important when shipping any type of cargo. However, it should be noted that when it comes to expensive goods, the choice of a responsible carrier becomes a priority.

* There is an opinion that the best option for transporting valuable cargo is air transportation. Although this option is more expensive, but the cargo requires a shorter time to reach its destination. Consequently, the potential risks are also reduced.

However, if you choose, for example, overland shipping, then consider the following. As a rule, expensive cargo is transported by a special truck equipped with a security system and satellite tracking. In international practice, this is an accepted option for the transportation of expensive goods. There are also cases when an armoured vehicle is required to transport expensive goods:
