Importance of logistic costs in imports and exports.

The distribution physical international known by their acronyms DFI, it the process what is
takes an out in around into the placement from a product in the market international fulfilling
with the terms traded between the seller by the buyer. your principal objective it reduces to
maximum the times costs y risks what can generate during the trip from the point of starting
in origin until the point of delivery in destination.

For this reason, there are two factors that determine the operation and that we must analyze:
the time and the costs, therefore, the time factor should be considered as a determinant factor
in the reduction of costs.

To get to this objective we must have in account one of the factors what influence in the
increase of transport depends on what tenth a rise y like this affect the costs operational: the
price of oil already what affects mainly the fuel in the what the most of transport depends on
what tenth a rise y for what a lot affect the costs operational.

Operational failures of carriers occur when companies opt to hire informal carriers. If A
logistics manager really wants the merchandise to be insured and arrives at its destination,
and in case of problems, they can give a timely response, it is necessary to contract an external
carrier or a company that connects Carriers with companies that need fleet of vehicles.

Conclusions

Establish a good DFI, it can reduce the costs and risks of the goods and if it did not exist in
the international trade, we could not have the products that come from other countries and
we could not export because there would be how to distribute them and to transport them.
A dynamic and growing environment will require complementary systems that relate to the
majority and minority producers and exporters, companies will become increasingly
complex and must have staff prepared to direct the flow of products and Services from the
producer to the consumer or user.
