Editing Freight transport (section)

==Door-to-door shipping==
'''Door-to-door''' ('''DTD''' or '''D2D''') '''shipping''' refers to the domestic or international shipment of cargo from the point of origin (POI) to the destination while generally remaining on the same piece of equipment and avoiding multiple transactions, trans-loading, and cross-docking without interim storage.

International DTD is a service provided by many [[Multinational corporation|international]] shipping companies and may feature [[intermodal freight transport]] using [[intermodal container|containerized cargo]]. The quoted price of this service includes all shipping, handling, import and customs duties, making it a hassle-free option for customers to import goods from one [[jurisdiction]] to another. This is compared to standard shipping, the price of which typically includes only the expenses incurred by the shipping company in transferring the object from one place to another. [[Customs]] fees, [[import taxes]] and other tariffs may contribute substantially to this base price before the item ever arrives.<ref>{{Cite news|last=|first=|date=October 31, 2019|title=Delta Cargo, Roadie partner to offer door-to-door parcel delivery service in US|work=Stat Trade Times|url=https://www.stattimes.com/news/delta-cargo-roadie-partner-to-offer-doortodoor-parcel-delivery-service-in-us-air-cargo/|access-date=2019-10-31}}</ref>
