Luxury Cosmetics: 2 FTL Trucks from France to Latvia
A Latvian beauty distributor received their bi-annual order from French luxury cosmetics and perfumery brands. 2 full trucks carrying high-value products worth over EUR 500,000 retail. The cargo required careful handling, no direct sunlight, and temperature between +15C and +25C. We delivered both trucks in 3 days with GPS tracking and real-time temperature monitoring.
What happened
High-value cosmetics and perfumery are attractive targets for theft. The brands required proof of secure transport chain, temperature logs, and cargo insurance covering full retail value. Previous shipments via standard carriers had experienced pilferages.
What made it difficult
- 1EUR 500,000+ retail value - high theft risk
- 2Perfume contains alcohol - limited ADR considerations
- 3Temperature must stay +15C to +25C (no freezing, no overheating)
- 4Brands require sealed truck and GPS tracking evidence
How we handled it
We used sealed box trucks with GPS tracking and door-opening sensors. Temperature was maintained at +20C using climate control. Cargo insurance was arranged for the full retail value. Both trucks traveled non-stop from the French warehouse to Riga with tracking links shared with the brand and distributor. Seals were intact at delivery, temperature logs confirmed +19C to +21C throughout.
