Overview:
Air freight, or air cargo allows the transport of goods quickly by air. Shipping cargo by air has always been a high cost-to-weight form of shipment, countered by the fact that it is the fastest way to transport goods internationally.
You will learn about the advantages of air freight, which include saving time, reliability, low insurance premiums, security, and fewer warehousing requirements. You will also learn about the air freight process, the major concepts involved, documentation, regulations, and how to avoid problems, find free sources of valuable information, and enhance your bottom line.
Ocean freight (or sea freight) is the most common form of transport for importers and exporters, accounting for 90% of goods transported globally. Shipping by ocean freight is complicated, but things have been broken down to ensure that you will easily understand the basic concepts and options. You will have all bases covered. This will include types of ocean shipping, booking, documentation, Incoterms 2020, warehousing, insurance, FMC and import and export regulations. Perhaps most importantly, you will learn how to avoid problems, find free sources of information, and better your bottom line.
Why you should Attend: International air freight and ocean freight volumes continue to grow, despite the fact that many countries are turning to global import tariffs to protect domestic production of goods.
Ultimately, this growth signals that international freight will continue to be a day-to-day reality as international business continues expand - even in this time of the COVID-19 pandemic.
If you are new to shipping freight internationally or if you simply want to leverage this shipping method more effectively, you need to know about or brush up on the major concepts and get your piece of the growing global marketplace.
