Synopsis

A full\-color textbook covering all of the concepts of international logistics. This textbook is written from the perspective of shippers, those managers who are actively exporting or importing goods or are otherwise involved in international trade operations. All of the relevant issues are thoroughly explained, including documentation, terms of payment, terms of trade (2020 Incoterms© rules), exchange rate exposure hedges, international insurance, Customs clearance, agency and distributorship sales contracts, packaging, transportation, warehousing, terminal operations, transportation of dangerous goods, transportation of refrigerated goods, security issues, and cross-border trade. The book explains the methods by which a company can develop a strategic advantage by excelling at the management of its international-trade operations.
