Cross Trade Logistics

It is a phenomenon that involves three parties in three distinct countries. In simple words, it refers to goods being transported from one country to another country but not via the physical location of the business (which is in another country altogether). These goods can be transported through any of the preferred mode – air, ocean or road freight.

For instance, cross trade logistics is useful when you are a wholesaler based in UAE who buys goods from India, but your customer is in Egypt and has ordered for a container of your goods. In this case, you will buy the goods from India and send it directly to Egypt, without receiving them physically in UAE. This type of logistics ensures that the identity of the buyer and supplier are not revealed to each other in this process.
