3 MAPS TO MAKE SENSE OF INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING

We often see the ‘Made in China’ label, but rarely understand what that means.

We sat down and simplified International Shipping. Here are the only 3 photos you need to have a basic understanding of how it works.

1. Manufacturing

Manufacturers produce massive quantities of items to meet domestic and international demand. Once finished, the items are packaged and loaded into containers for shipping.

2. Shipping

Massive cargo ships are loaded by machine with standard-sized containers, before leaving port for their next destination.

3. Consuming

Once the items have arrived, they are unloaded and distributed to businesses and eventually sold-on to consumers.
