1.

What type of global transportation network (in between international cities) will you
plan.

Air transportation is the fastest means of exporting the products. Transportation of beef
sausages through air would take short lead time.

Also, transit time would also be less for the product to be transported from one country to
another.

Further, air transport can deliver perishable goods to any country in the world in under 48
hours of transit time.

2. Single mode or multi-mode transportation solutions

Multimodal transport which is also known as combined transport is the transportation of


goods under a single contract but performed with at least two different modes of transport.

Here, multimodal transportation can be used to transport the commodity. Like beef sausages
can be first transported by air and after reaching the destination, it must be delivered to the
company or stores by truck or rail.

3. Intermodal transportation possibilities

Once beef sausages reach a specific geographical area, trucks deliver the product to a
common collection area. From there, similar vehicles or smaller transportation deliver the
product to the end customer. The entire transportation process comes under the control of a
different carrier or transportation service provider under different contracts. This model
includes airport rail-road link transportation, airport ferry connection, allowing automobiles
on trains, train to ferry connections, and so on.

4. International transportation documentation

a) Commercial Invoice which is a bill for the goods from the seller to the buyer
b) Export Packing List
c) Pro Forma Invoice
d) Airway Bill
e) Generic Certificate of Origin
f) Dangerous Goods Certificate
g) Insurance Certificate
h) Shipper's Letter of Instruction

5. Special handling and storage requirements

Beef sausages require special handling and storage like refrigeration and processing before
shipment in order to prevent spoilage and growth of pathogens. During transportation and
storage, the challenge is to maintain proper refrigeration temperatures. To guarantee a healthy
fresh product, the time of transportation from producer to consumer must be as short as
possible.

6. Special packing, marking, labelling requirements

To meet importing country requirements, Canadian establishments which intend to export the
meat and meat products to other countries, must only receive, store, process, and/or ship meat
and meat product compliant with the Safe Food for Canadians Regulations (SFCR) and
SFCA which contain rules regarding the labelling, packaging, identification and grades of
certain categories of products, including meat and food animals, dairy, eggs, processed egg
products, fish, honey, maple syrup and fresh fruits and vegetables, combining and updating
those previously found in product-specific regulations.
