LOGISTIC4Introduction.Import and export of commodities is one of the main important business enterprise for many investors all over the globe. Most of the countries prefer exporting these commodities through freight forwarders. Other countries prefer importing certain commodities instead of producing or manufacturing them locally. In this case, we view into deep details the work done by Sea Trade Forwarding Worldwide Company. This is basically a WA based company. This company needs to transport or rather ship 60,000 Litre of milk from QLD to Lanzhou. Milk is a very sensitive commodity as far as perishable product are concerned. This implies that various critical and significant measures and mechanisms need to be put into consideration so as to ensure that the 60,000 Litre of milk are properly shipped from QLD to Lanzhou. Bearing in mind that each Litreof milk is estimated to cost 74.3 cents per Litre, therefore altogether the shipment involves a totalvalue of 4,458,000 cents. This is a lot of wealth that cannot be left under a negligible management. During the process of milk shipment, there are various documents that need to be prepared and used in various stages of shipment. Each document plays a special task and all of them collectively enable smooth movement of the commodity. The importance of each documentis very crucial. In case a single document fails to adhere to the requirements of this shipment, thewhole process become null and void. It is therefore very important and reasonable to ensure that all these documents are up to date to avoid such scenario.Shipment documents and their underlying importance.There are several documents used in shipment of commodities.i.Air waybill.This is a very important document as far as shipment is concerned. This is also referred as air consignment note. It refers to a receipt document that is usually issued by an international airline for commodities (Thomas, 2009). It also acts as an evidence for carriage contract. However, air way bill is not a document of title to the commodities. Forthis reason, the document is non-negotiable. For this report, air waybill will act as evidence between the junior forwarder and Seatrade Company for shipment of 60,000 Litre of milk.
