What are characteristics of cargo?

Cargo refers to goods or materials transported, typically by ship, truck, train, or plane. Key characteristics of cargo include its type (e.g., bulk, containerized, breakbulk), weight, volume, and packaging. Additionally, cargo may be perishable or non-perishable, hazardous or non-hazardous, and often requires specific handling and storage conditions during transit. Understanding these characteristics is essential for logistics, safety, and regulatory compliance.
