An intermodal container, often called a shipping container or a freight container, is a large standardized shipping container, designed and built for intermodal freight transport, meaning these containers can be used across different modes of transport – from ship to rail to truck – without unloading and reloading their cargo. Intermodal containers are primarily used to store and transport materials and products efficiently and securely in the global containerized intermodal freight transport system, but smaller numbers are in regional use as well.
Transit trade is the sale of goods of foreign origin or domestic origin and sold abroad directly to another country, without being subject to the provisions of the import and export regime, purchased by a real and legal person transit trader, on the basis of the favorable difference between the purchase and sale prices. Except for the exceptional cases regulated in the relevant laws, the customs duties related to the goods subject to transit trade are secured.
If the goods are lost during the movement, the authorities in the country of transit will call on the owner to pay any import VAT, customs duty and other charges. In order to ensure that any fees are paid, the transit must be covered by an approved guarantee. If the owner cannot pay, the guarantee will be triggered.
