INTRODUCTION

The international physical distribution is transformed into a correct flow of materials and information, taking into account that the flow of materials requires a prior preparation of all the necessary activities to achieve that the product arrives in optimal conditions at its international destination and the flow of information requires the company to carry out its logistic projection, in accordance with the needs and trends of demand in the global framework.

The International Physical Distribution can contribute to this purpose by offering the precise means in the growth of markets and continuous improvement of the competitiveness of the products.

INTERNATIONAL PHYSICAL DISTRIBUTION

CONCEPTS:

a) The International Physical Distribution, known by its acronym DFI, is the logistic process that takes place around placing a product in the international market, complying with the terms negotiated between the seller and the buyer. Its main objective is to reduce to the maximum the times, costs and risk that may be generated during the journey, from the point of departure at origin to the point of delivery at destination.

b) The international physical distribution is the logistic process that takes place around placing a product in the international market complying with the terms negotiated between the seller and the buyer. (Orlando, J., 1997).

c) It is a set of operations necessary to achieve the displacement of the cargo (product), from its place of origin, to the place where the importer requires it in the country of destination, for the fulfillment of the period just in time.

Purpose

Its purpose is to discover the most satisfactory solution to bring the right amount of product from its origin to the right place, in the necessary time and at the minimum possible cost, compatible with the required service strategy.

Stages in the international physical distribution The type and nature of the load is established.

Types of load

The cargo is a set of goods or merchandise protected by an appropriate packaging that facilitates its rapid mobilization.

1. General Load It is composed of individual items and can be:

a. Load Loose

b. Unitarized Load

1. Bulk Loading By its nature it can be:

1. Liquid
2. solid
3. seca

Nature of the load

The nature of the cargo is classified into four types, namely:

Perishable load. Consists generally in food products that undergo normal degradation in their physical,chemical and microbiological characteristics.

Fragile load. Refers to all merchandise that due to its characteristics could suffer damage in loading and unloading, movement in the transport vehicle and storage.

Dangerous load. This type of load is composed of products that have explosive, combustible, oxidizing, poisonous, radioactive or corrosive characteristics that can cause accidents, damage to others such as the vehicle in which they are moving, to people or to the environment.

Load dimensions and special weights. This kind of load is usually very bulky and heavy requiring special handling and presenting restrictions in the different means of transport.

SCOPE OF INTERNATIONAL PHYSICAL DISTRIBUTION

International Physical Distribution is the set of operations designed to move the cargo (product) from the place of production or manufacturing in the country of origin to the importer's premises in the country of destination, which implies a process called CHAIN THE INTERNATIONAL PHYSICAL DISTRIBUTION, with a duration called TIME OF TRANSIT, which implies costs, time and quality of the services, for the fulfillment of the order JUST IN TIME. From the above we can deduce that the DFI comprises three basic parameters Cost, time and quality and services.

1) COSTS:

Money we use in the chain of International Physical Distribution

a) Direct: Packaging, marking, unitarization, documentation, handling storage, transportation (freight), insurance (bonuses), customs (tariffs), banking (commissions) and agents (fees).

b) Indirect: Administration (salaries and wages) and inventory (capital immobilization)

2) TIME:

Not only do we have to take into account the costs incurred, but also the time we spend in those operations and in the total process in order to deliver our load JUST IN TIME.

a) Duration of each service / operation

b) Interfaces (time that the merchandise remains immobilized between each stage of the process).

c) Total transit time.

d) Delivery time.

3) QUALITY OF SERVICES:

Nor should we forget that we have to have the quality of the services that we offer ourselves also a quality service. Among the features that must have the services that we hire we have:

a) Reliability

b) Competition

c) Complementation

d) Effectiveness

e) Experience

f) Frequency

g) Image

h) Risks

i) Speed

THE FIELD OF INTERNATIONAL PHYSICAL DISTRIBUTION:

The International Physical Distribution extends over a very wide field, and not only on the transport itself.

Before transport, you have to make choices about the form of transport, about its technology and about the itinerary.

Other factors that are an integral part of the International Physical Distribution:

• The conditioning.
• The packaging.
• Complimentary transport to the port or boarding airport.
• Manip The manipulations and the points of intermediate deposits.
• Customs clearance formalities when leaving the exporting country and entering the importing country.
• Customs duties and fees must be paid according to the INCOTERMS applied.
• Transportation insurance.
• The modalities of delivery from the port or the airport of arrival.
• The selection and control of the service personnel during the movement of the goods.
• Security of payment.

preparation of the load, in terms of packaging, marking and unitarization of the different items.

Container and packing

It is important to identify three geographical paths in the international physical distribution (DFI) that are: exporting country, international transit and the importing country, for this a different type of packaging is required than when the shipments move within a single country.
