What is ETA in import and export activities of goods?
What is ETA in import and export? ETA stands for the phrase "Estimated Time of Arrival" which is the estimated time the goods arrive at the destination. This is the term used to refer to the estimated time of arrival at the destination port for import and export shipments. Accordingly, depending on the nature of the transaction, goods will be transported in many different forms. It could be by land, sea or air. Choosing which shipping method directly affects the time it takes for the goods to arrive at the receiving address.
In addition to the mode of transportation, ETA is also influenced by many other factors such as weather conditions, shipping speed, export time, etc. Therefore, to ensure the goods arrive on time as expected. , relevant parties need to take measures to limit factors that disrupt the transportation process during implementation. ETA's main roles in Logistics:
- Ensuring on-time delivery, helping manufacturers avoid stopping production lines or running out of stock;
- Helps port authorities manage traffic flow effectively, reduce congestion, improve safety and better allocate resources;
- Maintain service reputation for businesses or delivery companies;
- Reduce environmental pollution thanks to improved traffic delays.
How is ETA classified in import and export activities?
After understanding what ETA is, it is also really necessary to learn how it is classified in import and export activities. Currently, ETA is divided into many different types and the estimated time of arrival at the destination port is divided into 2 main types based on the form of transport as follows:
ETA in maritime (sea)
This is a popular form of transportation chosen by many people. Because, it is suitable to meet all activities of transporting goods via sea. Accordingly, to transport goods, this method will use means of transport, which are cargo ships with many different tonnage. Using many types of ships helps meet all people's cargo transportation needs. In particular, with this form, shipments are not pressured by time or quantity of goods when transported. In addition, it can help shippers reduce costs to the lowest effective level.
ETA in freight transport
In transportation activities, the estimated time of arrival at the destination port is divided into two categories:
* In transporting goods by road:

Transporting goods by road is a form of using many types of vehicles to carry out transport activities such as cars, trucks, container trucks, etc. Therefore, this form ensures flexibility and mobility. , capable of adapting to many different transportation terrains. However, road transport has the disadvantage of being limited in the volume of goods transported.
* In transporting goods by air:
Compared to many other forms, transporting goods by air has many advantages. Among them, the most prominent is the advantage in terms of speed and transportation time. Not only does it ensure that goods are delivered quickly, this method also ensures that many problems that arise that affect shipping time are limited. However, this form has high transport costs, limited transport volume and not diverse transport portfolio.

What are the factors that affect the estimated time of arrival at the destination port?
The time it takes for goods to arrive at the destination port quickly or slowly, whether it is as expected or not depends on many factors, both objective and subjective. Accordingly, it can be mentioned
- Means of transport: Each form of transport uses different types of means. Meanwhile, the transportation speed of each vehicle is not uniform, some vehicles move fast but others move slowly. Therefore, the transport speed of the transport vehicle greatly affects the expected time of goods arriving at the destination;
- Type of goods sent: Normally, if transporting goods that are perishable or have a short shelf life such as vegetables, fruits, food, etc., people often prioritize choosing a form of transportation that helps shorten delivery time. On the contrary, for non-perishable goods, with no expiration date, etc., they choose many different forms of transportation as long as they ensure the goods arrive safely and save costs;
- Influenced by natural factors: Some weather conditions such as storms, tsunamis, earthquakes, etc. can all affect and disrupt transportation activities. Even boats, cars or planes can have accidents due to bad weather conditions during transportation;
- Volume of transported goods: The volume of transported goods has a direct impact on the transport speed of the vehicle. Accordingly, the more goods transported, the slower the travel speed will be and vice versa;
- Human factors: Slow loading and unloading of goods, slow handling of goods causing the shipment to depart are also the reasons why the arrival time of the goods differs from expected.
