Import/Export Strategy

Proven experts in international brand strategy and global market development.

Whenever and however title to goods is transferred, those goods must be transported.  Shipping goods to another country involves some important differences from shipping to a domestic location.  The goods can be out of the shipper's control for longer periods of time than in domestic distribution; more shipping and collections documents are required; packing must be suitable; and shipping insurance coverage is necessarily more extensive.

The task is to match each order of goods to the shipping modes best suited for swift, safe, and economical international delivery.  Ocean shipping, air freight, air express, and parcel post are all possibilities; however, ocean shipping is usually the least-expensive method and the most frequently used for heavy bulk international shipments while air freight can be the most economical and certainly the speediest for certain categories of goods.

Shipping costs are an important factor of a product's price in export marketing, and the selection of an international transportation mode should be viewed in terms of the total impact on cost.

The global marketing professionals at Summit Development Company are very experienced at designing and coordinating efficient import/export strategies.
