Practical notes for buyers
Freight consolidation changes the answer to seasonal demand planning at container scale, which is why small and large buyers reach different conclusions.
Documentation is not paperwork for its own sake; on seasonal demand planning it is the difference between a clean clearance and a delayed one.
