governing this mode of transport as the convention, but the railway.If the agreement is not international transport is given to transport, even through the territory of several countries is not an international, and is the national legal.In this case the delivery of goods from the legal side often divided into several phases and executed several agreements: Posting goods to the border station - the law of the State where the loading, after passing the border - on the national law of the State of the recipient of goods, etc.This process may seem complex and confusing, but in some cases it is much more profitable.In any case railway transportation today occupy leading positions in terms of security and cost.
railway network is well developed since Soviet times in the CIS.So if you are interested in sending cargoes to Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Belarus and other bordering on the Russian state
strong & gt; International Road Transport

strong & gt;International air transport
Air Freight International is recognized if
place of departure and destination of the goods are located:

It does not matter whether there was an overload or a break in the carriage.
Air cargo is usually quite expensive, but the undoubted advantage is the speed of delivery over long distances (except for airships).
strong & gt;International Shipping
Legal regulation of transportation of goods by sea includes standards maritime and commercial law.Land a man on a ship all unusual.And in the law of the sea prevails its own terminology.
Regular services are called sea line, irregular - tramp.Agreement on sea freight is the name of the bill of lading, and is a special receipt certifying that the carrier has received the goods to transport it by sea.
Dispatch Sea should be aware of the risks in our time they undoubtedly have been declining.But it is impossible to completely eliminate the risk of the sinking of the ship in wet conditions, and do not forget about the existence of zones of maritime piracy.
In any case, no matter what kind of cargo you may choose, in our days there are many logistics companies, professionally engaged in this activity.You may want to shift the burden of responsibility for your load on their shoulders, and confidently wait for the result.
