Expeditors International of Washington Status Update summary
Complete event summary combining all related documents: earnings call transcript, report, and slide presentation.Overview of international shipment lifecycle
Multiple parties are involved in international transactions, including buyers, sellers, consolidators, forwarders, customs brokers, trucking companies, stevedores, air cargo agents, banks, and warehouses.
The shipment process starts with price negotiation, followed by a pro forma invoice, order placement, and goods preparation for export.
Bookings are made with carriers or forwarders, goods are picked up and delivered to terminals, and shipping documents are processed.
Customs declarations and possible inspections occur before export; goods may transit through hubs before reaching the final destination.
At destination, customs clearance, payment of duties, and final delivery to the buyer complete the process.
Transportation modes: ocean vs. air
Ocean freight is generally cheaper but slower, with options for less than container load (LCL) or full container load (FCL).
Carrier contracts for ocean shipments may require volume commitments; forwarders can manage contracts and provide added services.
Air freight is faster and priced by weight or volume, suitable for high-value or time-sensitive goods.
Hazardous materials face stricter limits in air transport; air freight may be cost-effective for small, urgent shipments.
Both modes require careful carrier selection based on experience, pricing, schedules, and tracking capabilities.
Incoterms and cost/risk allocation
Incoterms define transport obligations, cost responsibilities, and risk transfer between buyer and seller.
ExWorks (EXW) places minimal responsibility on the seller; buyer manages transport and risk after pickup.
Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) makes the seller responsible for all costs and risks until goods reach the buyer's facility.
Choice of Incoterm depends on company capabilities, desired control, and revenue opportunities.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.
One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
This is genuinely one of the cleanest and fastest finance apps out there to track the market.
