International shipping is an attractive option for companies looking to export goods for several reasonssons. First, transport costs are significantly lower compared to air transport, making it a cost-effective choice. Additionally, most container carriers today have a transport capacity ranging from 5,000 to 10,000 TEU, allowing for efficient transportation of goods. The regularity of maritime activity and the ease of handling further contribute to the appeal of international shipping. It's important to note that there are two main types of offers in the field of international shipping. The first is tramping, also known as demand-responsive transport, where the sender requests a vessel to transport their goods from one specific point to another.

The second type is liner maritime transportation, which operates similarly to a bus service on land, with the sender committing their goods to a vessel with a predetermined itinerary and regular ports of call. Furthermore, when dealing with international shipping, companies may encounter terms such as North bound and South bound clearance, United States Customs consultation services, Automated Broker Interface certified entries, Freight pre-clearance, Labeling, Drawback, FDA products, Automated importer pre-filing, Quota entries, Customs bonds, NAFTA expertise, Southbound Electronic Export Information (EEI), and electronic filing, among others. Each of these elements plays a crucial role in navigating the complexities of international shipping and trade.
