 “Debate about and support your essay”
To be able to talk about transportation costs, it is necessary to be up to date in the
whole commercial and international field.

Therefore, the most important thing to keep in mind is that our factories and
wholesale warehouses are as close as possible to our ports of shipment or free
trade zones.

With this we can reduce freight costs and other expenses that may be general,
when moving our merchandise to the point of shipment or expedition to our final
destination, the customer.
 The main points to be
considered for negotiations
are as follows:
1. Fromthe location of the company, to dispatch the
product to the subcontracting of third parties to
produce, transport and deliver the final product to
the customer's satisfaction, with the specifications
and in the time required. Above all looking at the
beneficial cost and investment savings to be able to
obtain the qualification of a client that in turn will
help us to open more market and be able to expand
in the future, which is one of our main objectives in
the field of international negotiations.
2. The use of technology with the innovation of a better
product, using new packaging designs to reduce its
volume, weight and increase the density of the
shipment.

3. In several cases there are products that are already

dried, pulverized, dehydrated, to be vacuum packed and
in plastic containers, where the weight is reduced, thus
paying a high cost of transportation, since in the market
there are many types of these products that its
packaging is more flexible and less heavy.
4.The packaging of the same has been able to
demonstrate that nowadays reusable material is
being used and materials such as wooden boxes,
cardboard wrappings, among others, are avoided, this
also helps to reduce transportation costs.

5. According to the principle is based on on-time

delivery, small goods are shipped, faster and often
using a single fleet dedicated to this type of transport,
so is the current competition between carriers where
we can find a cheaper transport and with the same
guarantees offered by others in the market.
Other reasons are that within the supply chain
there is an impact on better transportation at
lower prices, shipping larger loads increases
costs and inventories, and transit time is longer
because of transit inventory and security.
 CONCLUSION
The financial impact is reduced in freight cost and
therefore more revenue in favor and better
inventory control.
