In your report, detail the fundamental considerations that you would consider in shipping the product to Sydney from the premises of any credible overseas supplier via an overseas seaport to Sydney. Highlight in detail the nature and physical characteristics of your product and how its physical characteristics will impact its packing, packaging, materials-handling, transportation, documentation, labelling, containerisation, transit storage and shipping to Sydney. Include logistics considerations for onward delivery from Sydney Ports to a warehouse in the Mayfield Industrial area of Newcastle in your report.
