Choose ONE overseas manufactured consumer product that you consume or know very well. Prepare a 3,500 words report on shipping it (by ocean or air freight) to Singapore. Your report should describe, explain, discuss and evaluate the relevant logistical transportation, documentation, storage, packaging, containerisation and customs clearance considerations in its importation through one of the ports or air cargo terminals in Singapore.
In your report, detail the fundamental considerations that you would consider in shipping the product to Singapore from the premises of any credible overseas supplier via an overseas seaport or airport to Singapore. Also, highlight in detail the nature and physical characteristics of your product and how its physical characteristics will impact its packing, packaging, materials-handling, transportation, documentation, labelling, containerisation, transit storage and shipping to Singapore. Include logistics considerations for onward delivery from the ports or air cargo terminals to a specified warehouse located at an industrial area in Singapore.
