What is Freight?

It refers to the sum of the goods taken to the ship and to the carrier which is requested in exchange for this transaction in order to be transported from one place to another in international trade. However, over time, the word ğ freight ve in the customs clearance sector is not only for the transport by sea, but also for the transportation service carried out by any of the modes of transportation such as sea, road, airway and railroad during international trade operations, as a name.

 

How to Calculate Capacity in Freight?

 

When calculating the vehicle capacity in transportation, only the weight of a load is not taken as a basis. In addition to weight, the volume is also included in the calculations. The minimum and maximum values ​​that can be moved vary according to the transportation network used. For example, the smallest capacity is 1000 kilograms. When calculating the capacity, the relationship between volume and volume is considered and the larger value is taken as reference. A volume of 1 corresponds to 333 kilograms. Calculations are made according to 333 when making comparisons.

 

Appropriate Vehicle Selection and Safety in International Transport

Depending on the nature of the product to be transported, after the appropriate transportation method is decided, suitable equipped vehicles are preferred. The vehicle to be selected should be preferred as high or low depending on whether the load is stackable or not. Taking into consideration the condition of liquid, solid or gas, the storage area of ​​the vehicle should be taken into consideration.

 

One of the most important elements is to establish a mutual trust relationship. At this point, the freight contract that includes the obligations on both sides of the circuit comes into play. The Convention should be open and binding on both sides of the Convention and should be aware of the issues to be considered.
