(1) Complete the transportation of import and export goods on time, with quality and quantity
After the signing of an international trade contract, the circulation of goods can only be achieved and the trade contract can only be fulfilled by timely transportation of imported goods, export goods, and delivery to the agreed location. 'On time' means fulfilling the contract in accordance with the terms of the shipping and delivery terms of the trade contract; 'According to quality' means fulfilling the contract in accordance with the quality terms of the trade contract; 'Quantity based' refers to minimizing damage to goods and ensuring the fulfillment of the quantity clause in trade contracts. If the above contract terms are violated, it constitutes a breach of contract and may result in serious legal consequences such as compensation and fines. Therefore, the international freight transportation department must abide by contracts and keep promises, ensure the timely, quality, and quantity completion of international freight transportation tasks, and ensure the performance of international trade contracts.
(2) Save transportation and miscellaneous expenses, accumulate construction funds for the country
Due to the fact that international freight transportation is an important component of international trade, with long distances, multiple links, and high expenses for various transportation and miscellaneous expenses, there is a great potential for saving transportation and miscellaneous expenses, and there are also many ways to do so. Therefore, enterprises and departments engaged in international cargo transportation should continuously improve their management, save transportation and miscellaneous costs, improve their economic and social benefits, and accumulate more construction funds for the country.
(3) Save foreign exchange expenses and increase foreign exchange income for the country
International freight transportation, as an intangible form of international trade, is one of the important sources of foreign exchange income for a country. International trade contracts generally use trade terms such as CIF and FOB for sea transportation. According to CIF terms, the price of the goods includes freight and insurance fees, and the seller sends a ship to transport the goods to the destination port; According to FOB terms, the price of the goods does not include freight and insurance fees, and the buyer will send a ship to the loading port to ship the goods. For the benefit of the country, if more exported goods are sold CIF and more imported goods are sold FOB, it can save foreign exchange expenses and increase foreign exchange income. For the sake of national interests, international freight transport enterprises should first rely on the transportation capacity of domestic transportation enterprises and China's convenient flag ships, and then consider the transportation capacity of China's charter ships, Sino foreign joint venture shipping companies, and overseas Chinese funded liners. Then, fully mobilize and utilize all aspects of transportation capacity, so that cargo owners and transportation enterprises can organically connect, strive to save foreign exchange expenses for the country, and create more foreign exchange income.
