Air freight import and export are two types of international trade activities that involve the transportation of goods by air from one country to another. Here are the definitions of each:

When a company purchases products or materials from a foreign supplier, the goods can be transported by air to the importing country. The importing company is responsible for arranging the transportation of the goods from the airport to their final destination.
Air Freight Export: This refers to the process of sending goods from one country to another by air. When a company sells products or materials to a foreign buyer, the goods can be transported by air to the buyer’s country.

Air freight is often faster than ocean freight, making it a popular choice for urgent or time-sensitive shipments.
Trucking
Domestic container delivery refers to the process of transporting shipping containers from a port to their final destination within the same country using trucks. After a cargo ship arrives at a port, the containers are unloaded and moved to a container yard for temporary storage. Domestic truckers are then responsible for transporting these containers to their final destination, such as a warehouse, distribution center, or retail store.
The process of domestic trucking container port delivery typically involves several steps:
Container Pickup: The trucking company sends a truck to the container yard to pick up the container.
Container Transport: The truck transports the container from the port to its final destination.
Container Delivery: The truck delivers the container to the final destination, where it is unloaded and its contents are distributed as necessary.
Effective domestic trucking is essential for ensuring the timely and efficient movement of goods from ports to their final destinations. It requires careful coordination between shipping lines, trucking companies, and other logistics providers to ensure that containers are transported quickly and safely.
WAREHOUSING
Warehousing refers to the storage of goods in a designated facility, often for a specific period of time. This can involve a range of activities, such as receiving and inspecting incoming shipments, organizing and storing goods according to specific criteria, managing inventory levels, and preparing products for shipment.
In addition to storage, many warehouses also offer value-added services such as labeling, packaging, and kitting, which can help streamline supply chain operations and improve efficiency.
Warehousing plays a crucial role in the logistics industry, providing a centralized location for the management and distribution of goods.
Effective warehousing can help businesses reduce transportation costs, improve order fulfillment times, and enhance customer satisfaction.
