> International transport covers the movement of goods by sea, air, road, or rail across at least one national border.

International transport covers the movement of goods by sea, air, road, or rail across at least one national border. Each border crossing triggers customs and trade compliance obligations: freight forwarders must file export and import declarations, provide proof of origin, and observe the applicable transport conventions for each mode – the CMR for road freight, CIM for rail, and the Montreal Convention for air cargo. Country-specific requirements such as import licences, phytosanitary certificates, and sanctions screening add further layers of complexity. The administrative burden scales noticeably with the number of transit countries and the regulatory sensitivity of the goods being shipped.
