Description of demand
The shipping cost for overseas suppliers will be estimated by using Maersk international quotation. We will use the rate for an average 40ft dry cargo container fitting 22 ISO pallets and an average 40ft temperature-controlled cargo container fitting 21 ISO pallets. In which category does the product(s) fit?
Give a detailed description of the product weight, type, and dimensions (L x W x H). How many products fit in a pallet? If the product is not kept in pallets, indicate how many products can be fit in the container selected on the previous item.
If the distribution of the demand is unknown, its total value can be spread according to factors predetermined by the SAILS software database for the largest cities in the USA. Please choose any factors that may influence demand spread. (Check all that apply)
