International Shipping
Types of Shipping
Sea Freight: The most common and cost-effective option for large and heavy shipments. Standard containers (such as 20-foot or 40-foot) are used to transport goods across oceans and seas.
Air Freight: Ideal for urgent or perishable shipments, ensuring quick delivery to the final destination, although it tends to be more expensive.
Land Freight: Used for transporting goods between neighboring countries, making it a suitable choice for transport within Europe or from Turkey to nearby Middle Eastern countries.
Stages of the Shipping Process
Preparation: Goods are prepared for shipping, including packing, wrapping, and labeling appropriately.
Inland Transport: Goods are transported from the manufacturer or warehouse to the shipping port or airport.
Customs Clearance: Customs procedures are handled, including submitting required documents and paying any applicable duties.
International Transport: Goods are transported across borders using ships, planes, or trucks.
Import Customs Clearance: Upon arrival at the final destination, another customs clearance is conducted before delivery to the recipient.
Final Delivery: Goods are transported from the port or airport to the final customer.
Challenges
Customs Complications: Customs laws and regulations vary from country to country, requiring a thorough understanding of how to manage customs documentation.
Costs: International shipping costs include customs duties, port fees, inland transport costs, and cargo insurance.
Time Management: International shipping can take longer than local transport, especially if goods pass through multiple checkpoints.
Importance of International Shipping
Access to New Markets: International shipping enables companies to export their products to global markets, increasing growth and profitability opportunities.
Diversified Supply Sources: It allows companies to import raw materials or products from around the world, helping to improve product quality and reduce costs.
In summary, international shipping is a vital component of the global supply chain, significantly contributing to enabling companies to expand their operations and reach new markets.
