Ocean & Air Freight, Terminals, Incoterms, ICD, Customs
Cross border movement, terminal handling and clearance.
What this theme covers
Export and import work is learned at the terminal, not in a textbook. This theme covers container and air cargo handling, the bonded areas where customs takes over, and the document set that has to keep pace with the box. Incoterms stop being a chart and become a decision the cohort can defend.

- ✦Container yard, stacking plan and reefer points
- ✦Rail siding, gantry and reach stacker operations
- ✦Container freight station stuffing and de-stuffing
