overview • Importance: shipment plays a very important role in international trade because, without shipment, transactions cannot be concluded, delivery not effected and circulation of commodities between countries not realized. Methods: carriage of goods can take place by sea, rail, air, road, inland waterway and parcel post, but sea transport is still the most widely used mode of transportation in international trade, with advantages of easy passage, large capacity and low cost.
