Written by ICAL Director Mr. Russell Burke

bookcover-front

The International Logistics and Freight Forwarding Manual is used extensively throughout Australia in the training of International Freight Forwarders, Importers and Exporters; and in many colleges as a reference and practical guide in the study of International Transport and Trade.

This fourth edition of the book, comprehensively indexed, is a complete revision, update and expansion, and covers most of the factors involved in International Freight Forwarding, Trade and Transport. It aims to provide the reader, whether a forwarder, trader, customs broker, or simply an interested student, with the necessary knowledge and skills to enable the achievement of the common objectives of traders and forwarders when selling, buying and moving cargo internationally.
