As International Business is rising to new levels so is the scope of Export Import and International Freight Forwarding in the Logistics sector. The transportation of goods is of prime importance in the process and the maintenance of proper transport documents is pivotal when it comes to Customs Clearance as well. This book presents the students with all the important transport documents such as the Bill of Lading, Airway Bills and Motor Transport Receipts. Along with that, the book includes other topics such as the basics of Import Export, International Business Freight Forwarding and Customs Clearance as well. It is especially useful for the prestigious exams such as the CBLR, Customs Broker exams and CHA exams.
In this book, the business of international freight forwarding is examined from both a theoretical and empirical point of view with a special emphasis on multimodal transport chains, including sea or air transport operations. In such contexts, the freight forwarder is always considered "The Architect of Transport", but this intermediary role seems to be largely neglected in research to date. Therefore, relevant concepts from economic theory and economic sociology are employed to produce both an intermediary and a network perspective of freight forwarding in order to provide a better understanding of this kind of transportation business. Furthermore, its intermediary role in such inherent network structures is explored by mapping relationship patterns in a stylized model framework applied to a questionnaire-based sample collected among freight forwarders engaged in such multimodal transport chains in Germany (especially from Hamburg, Bremen and Bremerhaven) as well as in Austria in 2003.
