The tariff item is a code that identifies products before customs and is a fundamental requirement for international sales.

It is an international nomenclature established by the World Customs Organization and is used to classify goods based on a common system. It provides access to a common global identifier for both import and export tariffs and establishes not only the duties applicable to the goods but also the regime that must be applied to the transaction involving said goods.

INCOTERMS are a set of rules developed by the International Chamber of Commerce for the correct interpretation of the commercial terms in an international transaction, such as costs and responsibilities of the parties, which regulate:

  • The scope of the price.
  • When and where the transfer of risk over the goods from the seller to the buyer takes place.
  • The place of delivery of the goods.
  • Who arranges and pays for transportation.
  • Who arranges and pays for insurance.
  • Which documents each party processes and their cost.

International logistics is a set of operations aimed at transporting raw materials or finished products from a country of origin (exporter) to a destination country (importer), where the received resources will be used for manufacturing products or for direct commercialization.

That is why at Framex we understand that international logistics is a key component of global trade, as it precisely enables commercial exchanges across the entire planet.

With an appropriate distribution strategy and well-defined logistics objectives, it is possible to optimize technical, financial, and human resources to:

  • Reduce unnecessary processes.
  • Control costs.
  • Improve the productivity and efficiency of an entire global supply chain.

This is useful not only for large companies but also for SMEs, which often import certain products to sell them in their home countries or export them to sell abroad through different distribution channel strategies.
