This paper describes the import process of a wristwatch launched by a watch dealership by means of overseas container shipping. The paper focuses on three main areas. First, the environment of container shipping is surveyed in order to map the forwarding duties related to sea freight. The second main area focuses on the maximum utilization of containers, as their capacity is limited in terms of weight and size. The third examined area is costcalculations performed on the basis of price quotes provided by shipping companies. Altogether, it can be concluded that it is recommended to perform the comparison and competition of the price quotes provided by shipping companies as performing the necessary calculations can potentially save costs.
