Multimodal transport is essentially an international through-transport combination with various modes of transport such as ship, rail, truck, airplane, etc., primarily through the use of containers. Multimodal Transport: Where the carrier organising the transport takes responsibility for the entire door-to-door transport and issues a multimodal transport document. A multimodal transport operator (MTO) acts as a principal and therefore as a “carrier”, because the MTO contracts with the shipper to carry goods by one or more modes of transport as may be necessary. The MTO has accepted total responsibility and liability to perform the transport contract; he has become the sole interface point for the shipper’s transport function.

Editor's Notes
- This is one of the reason for the success of courier services but courier services are however not the ideal solution to the problem of getting the various documents to their destination fast enough.
- Simplification: The reduction of the amount of information required by the various authorities to an absolute minimum. This has already been done in a number of developed countries and some developing countries. Simplification must be carried out, both of the procedures required and of the documents. Normalisation: The reduction of variants of formalities, procedures and documents both at the national and at the international levels (i.e., they must be identical in all ports of a country and must be aligned to similar procedures and documents in other countries). This mainly concerns, transport documents, INCOTERMS, payment conditions and trade documents. Harmonisation: The harmonisation of statistics of streamlining of the transmission of data using EDI. Such change from paper documents to electronically transmitted information is difficult to carry out but will greatly facilitate trade. However, because of the many different systems in use, harmonisation of such systems is required.
- EDI can enable a sharper understanding of your supply chain to reduce inventory carrying costs. You can stock only what you need. Companies using EDI for advanced shipping notices (ASNs) can save up to 40 percent of labor costs associated with inbound processing. Using EDI in concert with a transportation management system can minimize transport expenses while maintaining high service levels through load consolidation and mode selection. Customers, suppliers, and regulators benefit from the seamless flow of critical business information among partners. Increasing Shipment Visibility Import regulations change often and continually require more data to be captured and reported. For example, Customs and Border Protection's Importer Security Filing initiative, commonly known as 10+2, requires importers and vessel operating carriers to provide additional advance trade data. Companies can leverage this data to increase inbound supply chain visibility.
