There are three main parties in a cross trade shipment: the supplier, the intermediary, and the client. The intermediary acts as a middleman between the buyer and seller, handling payments, documentation, and other procedures
The cargo can be transported by air, sea, or road, depending on the nearest exit point for the manufacturer and the nearest entry point for the delivery location.
Cross trade shipments can help companies optimize their supply chains and reduce logistics costs. They can also help companies enter new markets without the expense of reselling their products in their home country
