    RATIONALE FOR THE STUDY

    Todays rapidly changing business environment is creating intense competition among

    corporations markets are changing faster now than in any other time in history. Product

    life cycles are shortening and businesses must compete globally.

    Freight forwarders perform a key role in any trade. The freight

    forwarder is the architect of the international transport and plays an important role in thegrowth of the international trade in India by facilitating exporters, shippers, importers,

    customs/ports authorities etc.

    The freight forwarding industry will continue to benefit from

    growth in trade and certain structural advantages over carriers . Value is driven by

    financial performance is driven strategic position. Strategic position must assessed in a

    disciplined manner , which examines the discrete and interrelated activities within a

    forwarder value chain to understand sources of synergy and options to increase value.

    The Indian economy is one of the fastest growing in the world, but the boom is

    not without its stops, starts, and bottlenecks, all of which also make themselves felt in the

    countrys freight transport sector. In fact, according a recent study by the Confederationof Indian Industry, the country needs US$330bn in infrastructure investment over the next

    five years to sustain its economys growth at 8% annually. Inadequate port facilities, poor

    road infrastructure and frequent power cuts prevent Indian industries from operating

    efficiently and expanding sales. India needs to increase its spending on infrastructure

    projects to 8% of the countrys gross domestic product from 4.6% now. In fact, despite

    these obstacles, its India Freight Transport Report concludes the country will reach

    average annual freight traffic growth of 10.2% in the 2007-2011 periods.

    Strong economic and foreign trade growth is underpinning

    the freight upturn. In the road freight sector, demand is boosted by door-to-door logistics,

    the move to higher value/lower bulk shipments, the rising size of the vehicle fleet and the

    new impetus to improve and extend the network, using private sector highway operators

    and build-transfer-operate (BOT) schemes. Rail will experience steady but less

    spectacular growth given the predominance of the state-controlled Indian Railways. All

    other transport modes should experience faster growth, with international air cargo

    turnover performing strongly as more private airlines join the market. Sea transport

    through Indias major ports will also perform well. A major factor over the next few years

    driving change will be the rising competitive pressures from cargo operators among

    Indias immediate neighbours and main trading partners.

    For the 2007-2011 forecast period we expect the transport and communications sector to

    continue outpacing the economy as a whole. It will achieve average annual growth of

    7.7%, versus 7.4% for overall GDP. The total value of transport and communications

    GDP will rise to US$91.8bn in nominal terms by 2011, representing 7.6% of Indias

    GDP.

    India has an ability to improve the freight forwarding due to his better quality

    of product. We improve the skill development in labour. To huge investment in research

    and development .

    We revise the market strategy for the expending for freight forwarding. Government of

    India provides better facilities for its freight forwarder. Last few years this seek industry

    of India we improve the technology for the production of better quality of product. I hope

    India improve its freight forwarding for its policies.

    INTRODUCTION

    Freight forwarding is a service used by companies that deal ininternational or multi-national import and export. While the freight forwarder doesn't

    actually move the freight itself, it acts as an intermediary between the client and various

    transportation services. Sending products from one international destination to another

    can involve a multitude of carriers, requirements and legalities. A freight forwarding

    service handles the considerable logistics of this task for the client, relieving what would

    otherwise be a formidable burden.

    Freight forwarding services guarantee that products will get to the

    proper destination by an agreed upon date, and in good condition. The freight forwarding

    service utilizes established relationships with carriers of all kinds, from air freighters and

    trucking companies, to rail freighters and ocean liners. Freight forwarding services

    negotiate the best possible price to move the product along the most economical route by

    working out various bids and choosing the one that best balances speed, cost and

    reliability.

    Freight forwarding plays an important role in facilitating

    international trade, fulfilling a number of distinct functions. In basic terms they act on

    behalf of exporters to buy and manage transportation services. These usually include air

    or sea freight , as well as land transportation services to move goods from the shipper to

    the port .

    Freight forwarding has become an increasingly complex and

    specialized service in the current context of globalization, tight security regulations and

    skills shortages.Maintaining a competitive advantage in such an environment requires

    strategic planning and action, and its going to become more challenging as complexity

    grows.

    What are INCOTERMS?

    Inco terms are a set of simple three letter codes which represent the different ways

    international shipments may be organized. They allow sellers and buyers from different

    cultures and legal systems to decide at what point the ownership and paying for freight,

    insurance and customs costs transfer from one to the other.

    Who decides what INCOTERMS mean?

    The International Chamber of Commerce has set up strict definitions for each incoterm.

    Choosing a suitable incoterm allows the buyer and seller to negotiate a price best suited to

    their needs and to be confident that there will be no confusion over who pays the costs.

    To ensure that the latest version is being used shipping contracts should refer to

    "INCOTERMS 2000".

    When should INCOTERMS be used?

    It is not compulsory to use incoterms. However when things go wrong and disputes arise

    it is much easier to sort out who is responsible for what if incoterms have been written

    into the shipping contract. To be safe, incoterms should be decided upon in the

    negotiation phase of any international purchasing contract.

    How do INCOTERMS work?

    Each INCOTERM is a three letter acronym related to where the seller's responsibility

    ends. They should be written into the purchasing or shipping contracts. Some incoterms

    require the changeover point to be named. As well as buyer and sellers there are

    "carriers". They are the people who have a contract to transport the goods by land, sea, air

    or a combination of modes. A seller will be given a bill of lading, way bill or carrier's

    receipt, that document can be used to prove that the goods have been taken on by the

    carrier.

    There are four groups of INCOTERMS - "E", "F", "C" & "D"

    14

  • 8/9/2019 MA Anis on Export Import

    15/65

    Group:E

    used where the seller does not want to arrange transport.

    EXW - "Ex-Works" means the seller's only responsibility is to make the goods available

    at the seller's premises, i.e., the works or factory. The seller is not responsible for loading

    the goods on the vehicle provided by the buyer unless otherwise agreed. The buyer bears

    the full costs and risk involved in bringing the goods from there to the desired destination.

    "Ex works" represents the minimum obligation of the seller.

    Group:F-

    used where the seller can arrange some transport within his/her own country.

    FCA - Free Carrier, This term has been designed to meet the requirements of multi-modal

    transport, such as container or roll-on, roll-off traffic by trailers and ferries. The seller

    fulfils his/her obligations when the goods are delivered to the custody of the carrier at a

    named point. If no precise point can be named at the time of the contract of sale, the

    parties should refer to the place where the carrier should take the goods into its charge.

    The risk of loss or damage to the goods is transferred from seller to buyer at that time.

    FAS - Free alongside Ship, requires the seller to deliver the goods alongside the ship on

    the quay. From that point on, the buyer bears all costs and risks of loss and damage to the

    goods. F.A.S. requires the buyer to clear the goods for export and pay the cost of loading

    the goods.

    FOB - Free On Board vessel, named ocean port of shipment.

    The goods are placed on board the ship by the seller at a port of shipment named in the

    15

  • 8/9/2019 MA Anis on Export Import

    16/65

    sales agreement. The risk of loss of or damage to the goods is transferred to the buyer

    when the goods pass the ship's rail (i.e., off the dock and placed on the ship).

    The seller pays the cost of loading the goods.

    Group:C-

    used where the seller can arrange and pay for most of the freight charges up to the

    foreign country.

    CFR - (or C&F) Cost and Freight, Named ocean port of destination,

    requires the seller to pay the costs and freight necessary to bring the goods to the named

    destination, but the risk of loss or damage to the goods, as well as any cost increases, aretransferred from the seller to the buyer when the goods pass the ship's rail in the port of

    shipment. Insurance is the buyer's responsibility.

    CIF - Cost, Insurance and Freight, named ocean port of destination.

    This is CFR with the additional requirement that the seller procure transport insurance

    against the risk of loss or damage to goods. The seller must contract with the insurer and

    pay the insurance premium. Insurance is generally important in international shipping

    because transport companies have restricted liability for loss or damage.

    CPT - freight/Carriage paid to, named place or port of destination.

    This term means the seller pays the freight for the carriage of the goods to the named

    destination. The risk of loss or damage to the goods and any cost increases transfers from

    the seller to the buyer when the goods have been delivered to the custody of the final

    carrier, and not at the ship's rail. Accordingly, "freight/carriage paid to" can be used for

    all modes of transportation, including container or roll-on roll-off traffic by trailers and

    ferries. When the seller is required to furnish a bill of lading, way bill, or carrier receipt,

    the seller duly fulfils its obligation by presenting such a document issued by the person

    contracted with for carriage to the main destination.

    CIP - Carriage and Insurance Paid To named place or port of destination.

    This term (also abbreviated CIP) is the same as "freight/carriage paid to" but with the

    16

  • 8/9/2019 MA Anis on Export Import

    17/65

    additional requirement that the seller has to procure transport insurance against the risk of

    loss or damage to the goods during the carriage. The seller contracts with the insurer and

    pays the insurance premium.

    Group:D-

    used where the seller can pay for most of the delivery charges to the destination

    country.

    DAF - Delivered at Frontier, named place of destination, by land, not unloaded.

    This term means that the seller's obligations are fulfilled when the goods have arrived at

    the frontier but before the customs border of the country named in the sales contract. Theterm is primarily used when goods are carried by rail or truck. The seller bears the full

    cost and risk in delivering the goods up to this point, but the buyer must arrange and pay

    for the goods to clear customs.

    DES - Delivered Ex-Ship, named port of destination, not unloaded.

    This term means the seller makes the goods available to the buyer on board the ship at the

    destination named in the sales contract. The seller bears the full cost and risk involved in

    bringing the goods there. The cost of unloading the goods and any customs duties must be

    paid by the buyer.

    DEQ - Delivered Ex-Quay, named port of destination, unloaded, not cleared.

    This term means the seller has agreed to make the goods available to the buyer on the

    quay or the wharf at the destination named in the sales contract. The seller bears the full

    cost and risks in delivering the goods to that point including unloading. There are two

    variations of ex quay contracts: "ex quay duty paid" and "ex quay duty on buyers

    account." In the first, the duty is paid by the seller. In the second, the duty also is paid by

    the seller, but the buyer must reimburse the seller.

    17

  • 8/9/2019 MA Anis on Export Import

    18/65

    DDU - Delivered Duty Unpaid, named place of destination, not unloaded, not cleared.

    This term Delivered duty paid or under these terms, the seller fulfils his obligation to

    deliver when the goods have been available to the buyer nucleated for import at the point

    or place of the named destination. The seller bears all costs and risks involved in bringing

    the goods to the point or place of named destination. There is no obligation for import

    clearance.

    DDP - Delivered Duty Paid, named place of destination, not unloaded, cleared.

    This term represents the seller's maximum obligation. The term "DDP." is generallyfollowed by words indicating the buyer's premises. It notes that the seller bears all risks

    and all costs until the goods are delivered. This term can be used irrespective of the mode

    of transport. If the parties wish to make clear that the seller is not responsible for certain

    costs, additional word should be added (for example, "delivered duty paid exclusive of

    VAT and/or taxes").

    INTERNATIONAL FREIGHT FORWARDING

    INTERNATIONAL FREIGHT FORWARDING

    Freight forwarders typically arrange cargo movement to an international destination. Also

    referred to as international freight forwarders, they have the expertise that allows them to

    prepare and process the documentation and perform related activities pertaining to

    international shipments. Some of the typical information reviewed by a freight forwarder is

    the commercial invoice, shipper's export declaration, bill of lading and other documents

    required by the carrier or country ofexport,import, ortransshipment. Much of this

    information is now processed in a paperless environment.

    The original function of the forwarder, or speedier, was to arrange for the

    carriage of his customers' good by contracting with various carriers. His responsibilitiesincluded advice on all documentation and customs requirements in the country of destination.

    His correspondent agent in far-away lands looked after his customers' interests and kept him

    informed about matters that would affect movement of goods.

    In modern times the forwarder still carries out those same responsibilities for his client. He

    still operates either with a corresponding agent overseas or with his own company branch-

    office. In many instances, the freight forwarder also acts as a carrier for part of a movement it

    can happen that in a single transaction the forwarder may be acting either as a carrier

    (principal) or as an agent for his customerOn the first day in my company, I came across the knowledge of Export and Import.

    To understand well about the condition of the current market, the company management

    decided to have a marketing research for one week. While doing marketing research, initially

    we collected / gathered the list of industry in and around Pune and started sending them our

    company profile via e-mail. At the beginning our focus was to reach at B & C cadre

    customers who are in need of a perfect logistics service provider.

    We identified the exact need of such customers through our extensive market research and

    discussions with our internal team. We found that C & D category customers do not get the

    up to mark and cost effective services from the reputed Logistics companies or reputed

    freight forwarders. The main reason identified is the volume of their export or import

    shipment is very less; as a result the giant players in freight forwarding are seems to have less

    focus on such clients because they generally look for the / interested in the clients who are

    having huge activities / more volume of export or import shipments. And hence, identifying

    this exact need of C & D category customers, I have started targeting these customers

    because of which these customers would be getting the same excellent service level as A

    category customers get from giant freight forwarders and at the same time my company

    would also be getting a good business. If more number of customers, more number of

    shipments. Like-wise, I had started focusing on these customers.

    I met with many clients and by discussing the queries I got to know the requirement of

    people and what kind of services is required. I was visiting 5-6 clients everyday and giving

    company presentation about our services. The queries I collected from client about what kind

    of services they want, got discussed in evening with impact logistics AGM (Assistant

    General Manager).

    After solving the Queries, I tried to tap the client. As I knew the clients requirement or

    services they want, accordingly I mailed the competitive Quotes to the clients and kept

    following up with them till I convert them into business. I with my Project Guide was giving

    the services to existing clients as well as focusing on new customer. To be a good and go

    getter marketing person in International Freight Forwarding / EXIM field, the person should

    be well versed / aware of the international trade and activities carried out on day to day basis.

    While marketing / selling of products of International Freight Forwarding / EXIM, any type /

    kind of queries or questions are expected from a customer. Similarly there are also few

    customers who are unaware of the activities but they are in urgent need to export or import

    their product. In such situation, the marketing & sales person must be in a position to provide

    a proper and fare guidance to the customer. Below are the basic and important knowledge

    30

  • 8/9/2019 MA Anis on Export Import

    31/65

    path ways that not only a marketing & sales person but any person in International Trade /

    Logistics should be aware of.

    Freight forwarding-

    A freight forwarder is a third party logistics provider. A third party logistics forwarder

    dispatches shipments via asset-based carriers and books or otherwise arranges space for those

    shipments. Carriertypes include waterborne vessels, airplanes, trucks orrailroads.

    Freight forwarders typically arrange cargo movement to an international destination. Also

    referred to as international freight forwarders, they have the expertise that allows them to

    prepare and process the documentation and perform related activities pertaining to

    international shipments. Some of the typical information reviewed by a freight forwarder is

    the commercial invoice, shipper's export declaration, bill of lading and other documents

    required by the carrier or country of export, import, or transshipment. Much of this

    information is now processed in a paperless environment.

    Custom clearance-

    It is a procedural activity which is performed by government personnel. The shipment has to

    clear all the norms of custom clearance. Custom clearance differs from country to country.

    Tariff classifications, value declaration, and duty management can increase costs. Customs

    and security initiatives have imposed new regulations on companies that make it more

    challenging than ever to trade internationally

    Transportation-

    It is the movement ofpeople and goods from one location to another. Transport is performed

    by various modes, such as air, rail, road, water, cable,pipeline and space.

    Research in common parlance refers to a search for knowledge. One can also define

    research as a scientific and systematic search for pertinent information on a specific topic.

    In fact, research is an art of scientific investigation. The advanced learners dictionary of

    current English lays down the meaning of research as a careful investigation or inquiry

    especially through search for new facts in any branch of knowledge.

    Objective`

    The purpose of research is to discover answers to questions through the application of

    scientific procedures. Though each research study has its own scientific purpose, we may

    think of research objectives as falling into a number of following groups:

    1. To gain familiarity with a phenomenon or to achieve new insights

    2. To portray accurately the characteristics of a particular individual, situation or a

    group

    3. To determine the frequency with which something occurs or with which it is

    associated with something else.

    Types of research

    Descriptive research

    Analytical research

    Applied research

    Fundamental research

    Quantitative research

    Qualitative research

    The above mentioned are the various types of research which a researcher can apply in

    order to achieve one desired objective. Therefore to achieve the objectives of my research

    I have used descriptive research.

    This is based on proper research design to meet the objectives of the study.

    ANALYSIS OF INDIAN TRADE

    A review of Indias foreign trade since the commencement of planning reveals the

    following important points:

    1. Both exports and imports have grown considerably.

    2. Except for two years (1972-73) and (1966-77), in all years since 1951 imports were

    larger than exports.

    3. Until about the mid 1980sthe export performance of India was very poor in

    Comparison with other countries in general; it was very poor even in comparison with

    several other developing countries. This is clear from the following facts:

    a) The share of India in the total world exports fell from about 2 per cent in 1950 to

    0.4 per cent in 1980. Since the mid eighties, there has, however, been someimprovement. In 2002 it was 0.8 per cent and the target set by the Ministry of

    Commerce is one per cent by 2007.

    b) India the 13th largest exporter in 1950 but there were 28 countries above India in

    2005. This marks a slight improvement over the recent past.

    c) Indias merchandise exports as a percentage of GDP had been stagnating around 5

    per cent. Although it has improved since the liberalization, it is still very low (little

    above 13 per cent) even in comparison with many other developing countries.

    4) The terms of trade have, on the whole, been favorable to India, although there was

    deterioration in a number of years.

    5) There has been a very significant change in composition of Indias exports.

    Manufactured products one account for over three-fourths of the exports as against the

    dominance of primary commodities in the early period.

    6) They have been significant changes in the direction (i.e. the source of imports anddestination of exports) of India s foreign trade.

    Objective-

    On the first day in my company, I came across the knowledge of Export and Import.

    To understand well about the condition of the current market, the company management

    decided to have a marketing research for one week. While doing marketing research,initially we collected / gathered the list of industry in and around Pune and started sending

    them our company profile via e-mail. At the beginning our focus was to reach at B & C

    cadre customers who are in need of a perfect logistics service provider. We identified the

    exact need of such customers through our extensive market research and discussions with

    our internal team. We found that C & D category customers do not get the up to mark and

    cost effective services from the reputed Logistics companies or reputed freight forwarders.

    40

  • 8/9/2019 MA Anis on Export Import

    41/65

    The main reason identified

    Is the volume of their export or import shipment is very less; as a result the giant players in

    freight forwarding are seems to have less focus on such clients because they generally look

    for the / interested in the clients who are having huge activities / more volume of export or

    import shipments. And hence, identifying this exact need of C & D category customers, I

    have started targeting these customers because of which these customers would be getting

    the same excellent service level as A category customers get from giant freight

    forwarders and at the same time my company would also be getting a good business. If

    more number of customers, more number of shipments. Like-wise, I had started focusing

    on these customers.

    I met with many clients and by discussing the queries I got to know the requirement of

    people and what kind of services is required. I was visiting 5-6 clients everyday and giving

    company presentation about our services. The queries I collected from client about what

    kind of services they want, got discussed in evening with impact logistics AGM (Assistant

    General Manager).

    After solving the Queries, I tried to tap the client. As I knew the clients

    requirement or services they want, accordingly I mailed the competitive Quotes to the

    clients and kept following up with them till I convert them into business. I with my Project

    Guide was giving the services to existing clients as well as focusing on new customer. To

    be a good and go getter marketing person in International Freight Forwarding / EXIM

    field, the person should be well versed / aware of the international trade and activities

    carried out on day to day basis. While marketing / selling of products of International

    Freight Forwarding / EXIM, any type / kind of queries or questions are expected from a

    customer. Similarly there are also few customers who are unaware of the activities but

    they are in urgent need to export or import their product. In such situation, the marketing

    & sales person must be in a position to provide a proper and fare guidance to the customer.

    Below are the basic and important knowledge path ways that not only a marketing & sales

    41

  • 8/9/2019 MA Anis on Export Import

    42/65

    person but any person in International Trade / Logistics should be aware of.

    Freight forwarding-

    A freight forwarder is a third party logistics provider. A third party logistics forwarder

    dispatches shipments via asset-based carriers and books or otherwise arranges space for

    those shipments. Carriertypes include waterborne vessels, airplanes, trucks orrailroads.

    Freight forwarders typically arrange cargo movement to an international destination. Also

    referred to as international freight forwarders, they have the expertise that allows them to prepare and process the documentation and perform related activities pertaining to

    international shipments. Some of the typical information reviewed by a freight forwarder

    is the commercial invoice, shipper's export declaration,bill of lading and other documents

    required by the carrier or country of export, import, or transshipment. Much of this

    information is now processed in a paperless environment.

    Custom clearance-

    It is procedural activities which are performed by government personnel. The shipment

    has to clear all the norms of custom clearance. Custom clearance differs from country to

    country. Tariff classifications, value declaration, and duty management can increase costs.

    Customs and security initiatives have imposed new regulations on companies that make it

    more challenging than ever to trade internationally.

    Transportation-

    It is the movement ofpeople and goods from one location to another. Transport is

    performed by various modes, such as air, rail, road, water, cable,pipeline and space.

    Infrastructure consists of the fixed installations necessary for transport, and may be roads,

    railways, airways, waterways, canals andpipelines, and terminals such as airports, railway

    stations,bus stations, warehouses and seaports.

    Market Research

    I did work for Business Development through Market Research. Firstly I collected

    data of companies that are producing goods and doing deal in Import and Export.

    For collection of data I prepare questionnaire of 3rd party, 4th party, warehouse and freight

    Forwarding. So that I could know that whom are doing work in this segment.

    Then I divide market in segments.

    Like:- Type A, Type B, and Type C

    Type A:- For big industries

    Type B:- For medium industries

    Type C:- For small industries

    After this I search the market that where are situated this type of industries around Pune

    City. I got the right way to do work in some MIDC area like Chakan, Aundh, Hadapsar,

    Hinjewadi, & Wagohli, Kothrud Industrial area, Paud road, Mundwa, M.G. road,

    Peth area, perengut, pashan, solapur road, pune Mumbai road, shivaji nager, ranger

    hills.

    From the Internship I found some new techniques that are applicable for better

    Improvements.

    1. Company should establish back office for internal support.

    2. Company should start some sales promotional activity for better attraction in

    customers memory.

    3. Company should focus on the transportation services.

    4. Company should focus on B & C type customers for better profit.

    5. Company should increase marketing executive team.

    6. To concentrate on advertisement.

    7. Above can be done by expanding its expertise network, also by improving

    quality of services at a competitive price.

    8. Also impact should make effort to make aware to customers about new trends in

    3pl /4pl also telling them benefit of outsourcing.

    9. .Last but not least impact should focus on slowly to big customers so that it can

    expand the size of business and can create Brand name in market for itself
