Abstract
Today, many firms. including freight forwarders, customhouse brokers, ocean and air carriers, both domestic and foreign, as well as logistic s management companies are capable of offering bundled services for th e movement of international freight. They are third-party logistics pr oviders. The use of such offerings by major importing and exporting fi rms depends upon several factors influencing the economics and utility of those services.
