Features: The "Practical English Handbook for International Freight Forwarding and Logistics" covers sea and air freight brokerage, quotation and documentation in logistics transportation, customer service, operations to market sales, domestic and international brokerage agreements, freight finance, and freight management. The material is primarily in English, mostly based on business correspondence from domestic and international freight forwarding and logistics companies, making it easy to learn and highly practical. It helps readers improve their professional English skills while further familiarizing them with logistics business processes, thereby enhancing their overall competence. For ease of learning, the "Practical English Handbook for International Freight Forwarding and Logistics" lists key and difficult vocabulary at the end of each chapter, and also includes a comprehensive glossary of freight forwarding and logistics terms at the back. This glossary not only contains all the key terms and abbreviations from the book but also includes many commonly used professional terms that are not featured in the material, making it convenient for reference during daily study and work. The book is primarily intended for practicing professionals in logistics and international trade, college students majoring in related fields, and others aspiring to join the industry, especially those currently preparing for logistics, freight forwarding, and customs declaration exams. However, it should be noted that readers studying the material independently must not only have at least a Level 3 English proficiency but also be familiar with basic knowledge of international logistics and transportation. To this end, we have included relevant Chinese materials at the back of the book, such as containers, sea and air freight logistics, and document circulation, for reference and comparison by learners with no practical experience.
