 PRODUCT DISTRIBUTION: THE BASICS

The author at the beginning tries to understand the importance of knowing the
characteristics of the product and choosing the necessary means of transport so that the
product arrives in excellent condition.

It is taken into account that the products can come with different characteristics such as
perishable products, dangerous substances, the value of the product, the quantity, the
destination, etc ...

It is always important before finalizing the agreement with the buyer that the
responsibilities that each one will assume during the process of payment, transport and
arrival must be agreed.

For this work there are different machines used for this transport that are

- Charge plane

- Merchant ships

- Railways

- Trucks or Dump Trucks

Each of these is used according to the product that is transported and the destination to
which it is going to arrive, generally for international transport the maritime and air means
are more used since these provide guarantees for the difficulties of passing to another
territory but these are the most expensive,

Instead, the railroad and the trucks that are the land means are more used for short
distance loads and according to the product and the quantity is decided by which of the 2
it is better to send it.

Another thing to take into account are the expenses and the laws that other countries
handle, and by the time a company offers its first services internationally,
it must be sure that everything it does respects the marketing standards and that the sale
is completely legitimate and the customer is trustworthy.

For the transports in the actually is very varied but currently the most used to maintain the
commerce in an active and constant way is the Maritime one due to the large quantity of
transported products but its main problem is the scarcity of ports in the countries either due
to its infrastructure or its geographical area.

Finally, we realize that the transport depends on the characteristics of the product, the
agreement with the buyer and the means of transport with the delivery time and the different
variables.
