Warning: “Dangerous”—or how Art-Trans transported a Class 8 hazardous cargo from China to Moscow.

Transporting hazardous materials is always a challenging task. Not all transportation companies are willing to handle the delivery of such cargo. This is because the transport of hazardous materials must be carried out in accordance with special regulations, in compliance with the necessary measures and conditions, and with the appropriate permits. To avoid incidents during transport, it is best to entrust the delivery of hazardous cargo to a qualified company with experience in handling such tasks.

Assessment of the hazard category for the upcoming mission

The company received an order to transport a Class 8 hazardous material: zirconium oxychloride.

This substance is used in the electronics and aerospace industries, in the production of high-temperature ceramics and advanced refractory materials, and in the manufacture of specialty glass.

Class 8 dangerous goods under the ADR classification are corrosive and caustic substances. Contact with them can cause damage to the skin, mucous membranes, lungs, and bronchi; corrosion of structures and metal components; and ignition. All safety requirements and regulations must be strictly followed when transporting these goods.

The “China, Russia, and Zirconium Oxychloride” mission has been completed.

So, let’s get started. A client contacted our company requesting that we transport a Class 8 hazardous cargo—zirconium oxychloride—from China to Russia as quickly as possible, as production could come to a halt without this product. We accepted the order. At the appointed time, the truck arrived at the loading address in China. The cargo was then successfully delivered by our truck to the customs office in Moscow in compliance with all safety requirements for the transport of dangerous goods. In just 20 days, including customs clearance, we successfully delivered the product from China to our client’s warehouse. The route passed through the Kraskino border crossing point.

Our company, Art-Trans, has extensive experience in the international transport of dangerous goods. We maintain constant communication with our clients, and our managers are always available. Thanks to our team’s coordinated efforts and collaboration with our Chinese supplier, we were able to complete this shipment quickly.

We are ready to deliver any of your cargo in compliance with all legal and safety requirements in the shortest possible time.
