Logistics costs accumulate across multiple stages: transportation (fuel, tolls, vehicle operation), warehousing (facility rental, labor, utilities), handling (equipment, loading/unloading), packaging, and administrative processing. Freight forwarders and shippers must break down these components to benchmark their supply chain efficiency and price customer shipments accurately. Poorly managed logistics costs often hide significant savings – through route optimization, warehouse consolidation, or selection of favorable customs procedures.
