Door to Door Shipment
Door to Door Shipment, covers the ultimate transportation between exporter's factory to importer's warehouse. It should be carried out by a single carrier under one transport document, which is usually a multimodal bill of lading.
If more than one carrier is responsible for the transportation or more than one type of transport document has been issued, then the transportation can not be specified as a Door to Door shipment.
For various reasons, it is not suitable to use either port to port or door to door shipments. In these instances "Door to Port" or "Port to Door" deliveries can be used.
