The transport of cargo is one of the most critical aspects of international trade. As essential as transport is, however, it is only a means to an end goods are transported from origin to destination to meet demand. Demand is driven by what individuals wish to do with the product be it in an industrial setting or a private setting. The attributes of a product have an influence on its handling requirements and mode of transport across international boundaries.

 Elements of International Logistics

 It must be remembered that transport does not improve a product at best it will do it no harm. A faulty product is not fixed simply because it is transported between two places. However, a good product can quite easily be made defective because it has been transported between two places. With this in mind, there are four important elements of international logistics that are critical to cargo movements: 1) Integrity, 2) Pedigree, 3) Chain of Custody, and 4) Track and Trace.

 Integrity

The integrity of the consignment is probably the most critical element of transportation. At the end of the journey the consignee is entitled to receive a product that is in accordance with the contractual requirements

To minimize breakdown of consignment integrity, the consignor of the goods needs to properly pack and label the consignment in accordance with the contractual requirements and provide written instructions to the carrier on how to handle the cargo.

 Pedigree

 It is important to know the origin of the product both from a product quality perspective and also for customs formalities. Depending on the product in question, traceability to origin may be regulated.

 Chain of Custody

The handling of the product from a physical perspective will directly impact the integrity of the consignment. Rough handling puts stress on the product with the possibility of latent damage downstream or more immediately apparent problems in the case of obviously damaged goods. From a risk management point of view, it is important to know who has custody of the goods and at which stage of the transport process, in order to identify the party responsible and liable for delays and the compromising of the consignment

 Track and Trace
