Freight, Logistics, and Specialized Transportation Issues for Import/Export Managers
Until we have Star Trek capabilities and can move things through space electronically, all freight must move physically from point A to point B. That is what we refer to as “logistics.”
Managing logistics in the import/export trade is critical because shipping costs and shipping efficiency will determine the bottom-line competitiveness of the transaction. This chapter dissects all the material one needs to know about managing import/export logistics and obtaining great value for all of the external services necessary to move products internationally. Specialized international transportation situations are reviewed with an outline of solutions and options.
