Some years ago it was quite difficult to try a tropical fruit in Europe or buy an Italian dress in Latin America; however, today, international trade and goods transport allows products from one place to be easily purchased in another one thousands of kilometers away. International logistics is essential in our day-to-day life and is one of the most popular internship areas, especially in cities like Barcelona where there are big international ports and shipment of goods.

Contracts, insurance, shipping, containers, permits, goods, incoterms, quality reviews… These are just some of the terms used during an import/export internship. Interestingly, companies that offer these kinds of experiences often prefer interns with business studies, ideally specialising in international trade, and with a very good level of English, the universal language of business.

Producing, packaging, shipping, and registering are some of the best known steps of a supply chain, a series of processes and actions essential in marketing products worldwide. Companies offering these services usually have interest in interns with a clear focus on international trade and foreign languages.
