 INTRODUCTION

To being with, we must take into account that logistics and international physical distribution are key in
foreign trade operations, given that logistics is key toachieving maximum efficiency and effectiveness, wich
can be summarized asfollows, Efficiency because the less time a product remains in each of the stages ofa
logistics chain, the lower costs will be added to the final value of the product and the market will be supplied
more quickly and effectively because in most cases, lower costs can be translated into higher operational
profits. For this reason thereare two factors that determine the operation and that we must analyze, Time
andcosts, therefore, the time factor must be considered as a determining factor in thereduction of costs.
 
WRITING AND ESSAY ABOUT LOGISTICS COSTS

Today to achieve this goal, we have to take into account one of the factors that influence the increase in
transportation depends, which tends to rise and there byaffect operational costs: the price of oil, since it
mainly affects the fuel (Diesel) onwhich most transportation depends, which tends to rise and thereby affect
operational costs.On the other hand, the lack of investment in transport infrastructure affects negativel y,
therefore, this way limits the supply chain of products at a global level,thereby generating a rise in the final
process of each product.Clearly the international physical distribution, being this the process of export

Clearly the international physical distribution, being this the process of export of products and/or service that
has as main objective to reduce to the maximum the risks, times and costs from the origin like point of
departure until the destiny likefinal point. In other words, any failure in one of the stages of a product
cansuspend the distribution system that affects international trade.

This is how issues such as the transport of goods from their preparation, handling,preparation of documents,
especially when there are high operational costs,international standards of managements as well as
environmental and multipleoptions in modes and means of transport that make companies mark more
andmore comparative advantages that allow them not only to survive in our marketsbut to grow steadily
with competitive advantages, thus contributing to the achievement of the objectives outlined in the
country’s economic policy.
