Logistics costs have become more important over time for two main reasons. Firstly, the
tendency to shift the production facilities abroad to enjoy lower labour costs necessitates more
movement of goods (e.g., raw materials and final products). Secondly, with decreasing tariffs,
logistics costs increase in ad valorem terms and turn into an important factor in the prices of
products. That is why, the nations which have the aim of increasing their international trade
should improve their logistics capabilities.
