Step 7-Shippers and Shipping: Delivering the Goods

International trade regulations

Trade standards are the “rules of the game” for trade in international goods and services, essential for the maintenance and reproduction of consumer culture. The process of evolution of these trade standards has been long and torturous. T. N. Srinivasan, while discussing the historical development of the World Trade Organization (WTO), provides a succinct history of this process. These GATT/WTO rules can be viewed as codes of conduct for trade policy. The GATT/WTO contains a set of specific principles that serve to guide and regulate the trade policies or the trade standards of member states. There are five key principles under GATT/WTO that form the core of all existing and future trade standards that must be followed by all member states. There are also rules regarding product standards, technical standards, and systems of certification for traded goods (Srinivasan, 1998).

Export declarations

Export of EU laws and norms has proved successful chiefly in the EU's immediate neighborhood where its power was overwhelming and its norms were shared, as was the case in Central and Eastern Europe. This type of regulation is necessary in order to ensure that multinational shipments of controlled substances are used for medical, scientific, or other legitimate needs of the country to which they shipped. Moreover, major players such as the United States or China are able to play individual EU member states against each other, effectively undermining the EU's aggregate potential (Zielonka, 2006)

Export permits

The EU's global policy is confronted with numerous problems. Europe's external trade relations are largely divorced from Europe's foreign policy. Responsibility over external trade shared or split between the European Commission, the European Central Bank, the Council of Ministers, the Euro-group, or the member states. Foreign policy proper, unlike external trade, is subject to individual countries' veto. Moreover, EU member states allowed acting outside the EU framework, and, in fact, they often do so, either within the United Nations framework or via the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, the Council of Europe, or NATO (Alsop, 1992).

Delivering products

The products sent to the shipping address specified by the Customer during the order fulfillment process. The estimated delivery time count starts from the time the purchase amount paid by any of the procedures (deposit or bank transfer), having availability in the warehouse, delivery may be effective for 48 to 72 hours. Through an e-mail the customers receive the tracking number provided by the Transport Company, the customer can track the shipment through the corporate website of Transportation Company in the event that have (Example TNT, Fedex, DHL). Delivery times are average times for periods of preparation and shipment of the products, calculated on the basis of the estimated date of receipt of the merchandise in stores. These periods may vary according to destination.
