2.1. Delivery Consignor to Consignee - where transport is ordered by the<br />

location - shipped from) to the consignee (receiving location - shipped to). This scenario<br />

arranging transport or paying <strong>for</strong> same. He must simply notify the consignee that the goods<br />

are ready <strong>for</strong> despatch (packed in accordance to purchase order) and provide documentation<br />

and track/trace in<strong>for</strong>mation.<br />

transportation as well as cargo insurance cover.<br />
