The delivery of the product is the consequence of its sale, therefore, the transportation constitutes a consubstantial element of the international trade activity. In foreign trade, more complex transportation needs arise due to the geographical distance, the regulatory requirements of the different countries, the need that sometimes exists to use different types of transport, the storage that may be necessary before the final delivery to the customer, the reservation of cargo spaces, packaging... and in short all the particularity of the international trade. No exporter can approach an export transaction without taking into account its Transport and Logistics requirements. This course will give the student a thorough understanding of the main modes of transport in international trade and address the more common management issues related to them. Transportation is one of the main component factors taken into account when determining the final price of a product. Transport documents perform two functions:
This course includes the most common transport documents (Bill of Lading, AWB, Consignment Note, etc.), on which the student analyses how they should be completed. While in transit, the goods are exposed to the risk of damage and thefts. Therefore, it is recommended to ensure the products. The importer or the exporter will agree about who is the responsible for the insurance. Although the packaging of the products might seem of small importance; it is one of the fundamental aspects of the international trade. The packaging of the goods should protect the products during the transport and prevent theft; it should be economic and achieve a balance between the effectiveness and cost (both from the material used and the time spent on packing the products). Companies with small experience in international trade are recommended to work with an intermediary company who has experience in the packaging for export. In a very competitive markets, the delivery times are usually very strict, a late delivery of a product may mean losing a client, so the correct coordination of all the activities to be carried out in the process from the beginning of an operation until it is finished, it constitutes an essential task. This task of coordinating all the phases necessary for the client to receive his product in time and form is what we understand by logistics. Logistics is the process of planning, implementation, and control of both physical and information flow, as well as the storage of raw materials, semi-finished and finished products, from the point of origin to the end consumer most efficiently and effectively possible. Any exporting company must plan and coordinate the following functions related to the logistics:
