With the increased division of labor across the supply chain, the importance of inter-organizational shipping increases. This course covers the basics of organization and execution of international goods movements as a part of supply chain management in times of globalization and integration of world trade today.
At the end of this course, students should have a basic knowledge about actual trade practice, including contracting, customs procedures and documentary paperwork, means and modes of payment, transport management as well as security, compliance and risk management issues.
