Logistics covers moving goods: freight booking, customs formalities and delivery to the destination. Needed as soon as goods leave the factory, and worth arranging before production finishes rather than after.
Needed as soon as goods leave the factory, and worth arranging before production finishes rather than after. Working out which service actually fits the problem saves more time than comparing prices does, because the wrong type of engagement costs more than a slightly higher rate.
Providers list the markets they operate in and the services they handle. Because this work happens on the ground and often over weeks rather than hours, agreeing scope in writing at the start avoids the most common disputes. Payment is held until the agreed deliverable is provided, which matters more here than in short engagements.
Verify that the provider actually operates in the specific city or province you need, not merely the country. Ask what the deliverable looks like: a sourcing report, an audit document, a customs filing. Vague scope is the usual cause of disappointment in this category, and it is easier to settle before work starts than afterwards.
