Transportation form Canada to Nepal
The Pest Chaser Pro will start its travel to Nepal in a Woodstream brand warehouse in Brampton Ontario. From the warehouse it will be transported out east where it will be put onto a barge. Since Nepal is a landlocked country surrounded by India and China (Sharma, 2014) this means that the product must ether cross the border of China or India to enter Nepal or must be directly flown into Nepal. For cost to be kept at a minimum the choice to have the Pest Chaser Pro be transported by a cargo ship versus a cargo plane was made. India has a long coastline of about 7517 km, spread on the western and eastern shelves of the mainland and also along the Islands with 12 Major ports and 200 non-major ports, as per the latest information received from maritime studies (Banerjee & Gupta,2013). Since India has access to the sea and also has many ports available, the Pest Chaser Pro will be first transported from Canada to India. India is a transit country for Nepal as it gives it access to the sea (Jayaraman & Shrestha, 1976).
The cost is dependent; the cost of moving a container through a port is different depending on where the container is going after it leaves (Fabey,1998). The exact price for shipping could not be calculate but it is clear that it would be dependent on the quantity being shipped and what time of year the shipment was taking place. Once the product has made it to India it will be transported from the port to Nepal. It will travel by transport or an equivalent to a transport, this transport will cross the India Nepal border. The Transport will have to go through customs and tariffs will need to be paid, after passing customs the product will be transported to a large city. This city could be Kathmandu which is the capital city on Nepal, from here the Pest Chaser Pro will be distributed to the appropriate stores. Below is a diagram of how the transportation process may look.
