Introduction

Business competitiveness makes it possible to ensure the survival of

companies in the market in the long term, in all segments to which they
want to access with the products, in the local and also international
context.

One of the strategies to achieve this competitiveness is the successful

planning of international physical distribution, in terms of costs and
activities involved in the process, taking into account that within the
logistics chain they represent a representative item. This planning will
result in cost reduction, inventory optimization, improvement in
customer service levels, optimization of transport routes and proper
selection of means and modes of transport.

The proper management of the international physical distribution

translates into a correct flow of materials and information flow, taking
into account that the flow of materials requires prior knowledge of all the
activities necessary to ensure that the product arrives in optimal
conditions at its destination International and the flow of information
requires that the company carry out its logistics planning being consistent
with the needs and trends of the demand in the global context.

That is why the advantages of reducing logistics costs can trigger in which
the company is forced to increase its productivity since it must be
directed more and more to improve competitively, this also applies to the
improvement of the company's management of the company, thus same
redounds in the possibility of expanding markets by accessing products
and markets that without the correct export are unattainable ending in
one of the best assets of companies: the increase of their customers

Conclusions

 The physical distribution of the product represents a logistical

challenge of great commitment since not only a good management
 of international physical distribution and national transport is
enough; but, of a planning and synchronization of all the actors
involved in the productive chain

 The decisions in the international physical distribution not only

involve important aspects such as cost, there are variables that can
guarantee the success or not of the international logistics operation,
such as: packing, packing and unitarization of the cargo, in addition
to the full knowledge of the type and nature of the cargo that will be
exported and of all the physical conditions necessary to guarantee
that the product will reach its customer according to the agreed
parameters.
