Abstract:

With increase of global trade also growing is the need for material products transposition, i.e. it comes to their increased participation and activities in their transposition. It is especially related to internationally oriented companies in material products global trade. For successful tracking of the transposition processes, basic differences related to appropriate distance, currency variation, and adjustment to national regulations and to specific differences between countries in the transport modes must be well acquainted with international logistics. Concerning the mentioned, problems in international transport of material products are related to the transporting infrastructure, choice and availability of transport modes as well as the particularities of certain types of transport related to the types and quantity of products. In this paper an analysis is given on the selection of the appropriate modes of transport through consideration of time dimension of a transit, costs predictability and their influence on the state of a product during transport. Additionally, an analysis is given on physical transfer of buying and selling the product through documentation regulation on foreign markets. Specially analyzed are the revised provisions of Incoterm due to adjusting to changes in transporting technologies and electronic communications. The analysis special subject was one of the essential activities of product transposition-packing and packing material. The packing that is adequate for local transport does not have to be adequate for the international trade due to a reason of different transfer of material products using different modes of transport, as well as taking into account the package weight because in some countries the customs clearance is determined depending on the gross weight of the consignments. As one of the solutions for the packing problem in international trade, the usage of intermodal containers if offered for easier merchandise transfer in the international transport. Also given is an analysis of the need of international warehousing of material products forcing the companies at the global market to satisfy the increasing demands of the consumers and for that purpose to redesign their distribution systems in order to rationalize the business costs by decreasing their own distribution locations.
