Door-to-door multimodal transportation

Multimodal transport is the type of transportation that includes various modes of transport. Most often, the seller / supplier of goods in the United States does not take trouble of delivering goods to the port and shipping them to the buyer's country, and delivers goods only to its warehouse (EXW Incoterms). Accordingly, you must first bring the container to the supplier’s warehouse and load the goods, and then deliver them to the port or consolidation warehouse.
