Overview
identify a product of interest to you and find out what it would take to either import a container load of that good from the foreign country in which it is made to Springfield, Missouri, or to export a container load of that good from where it is made in the United States to some foreign buyer. Finally, you will write a detailed chronological report explaining every aspect of the logistics process for the movement of these goods. Your final report should include all documentation you are able to secure from various sources while researching your objective, such as: Supplier bids, quoted INCOTERMS, shipping quotes or estimates, customs costs, financing costs, loading, unloading, ground transport, warehousing or storage. Provide detailed information about each of the carriers involved and a due diligence report on the credibility of the supplier and transporters including a step by step timeline for the entire shipment and a detailed financial report incorporating all expected costs. When approaching suppliers and carriers for information, you may find that they are not as willing to spend time helping students. You may need to use your selling skills as marketing students (remember the selling process???), the first step is developing rapport, not asking for stuff!!!
