Course Summary:
Specialization course e-learning. Selecting a mode of international transport. Containers. Documents, cost and insurance. Packaging materials.

No exporter can approach an export transaction without taking into account its transport and logistics requirements. This course will give you a thorough understanding of the main modes of transport in international trade and address the more common management issues related to them.

Transport is one of the main component factors taken into account when determining the final price of a product. Logistics is the process of planning, implementation and control of both the physical and information flow, as well as the storage of raw materials, semi-finished and finished products, from point of origin to the end consumer in the most efficient and effective way possible.

Transport documents perform two functions:
1) It is a proof of existence of the contract of carriage.
2) it is a proof of receipt of the goods by the carrier.

While in transit the goods are exposed to the risk of damage and thefts. Therefore, it is recommended to insure the goods. The importer or the exporter will have to agree about who is responsible for insurance.

Although the packaging of goods might seem of little importance, it is one of the fundamental aspects of international trade. Good packaging should protect the goods during transport and prevent theft, it should be economical and achieve a balance between effectiveness and cost (both from the point of view of the material used and the time spent on packing the goods). Companies with little experience in international trade are recommended to work with an intermediary company who has experience in packaging for export.
