Movement of goods

Movement of goods describes the transportation of products between geographic or economic locations, whether within a single country or across borders.

Quick Answer

Movement of goods describes the transportation of products between geographic or economic locations, whether within a single country or across borders.

In customs and trade contexts, a distinction is made between domestic movement (within a customs territory) and cross-border movement, which triggers documentation and customs requirements.

Practical execution involves selecting appropriate transport modes (air, sea, rail, road), coordinating shipper and consignee, and complying with applicable trade, customs and transport regulations.
