Choose the route, mode of transport and a suitable carrier. 句子中的:

carrier(承運人) 來自動詞 carry(運送,攜帶). 它的名詞是 carriage(運輸,運輸費).
關於這個 carriage 還可以解釋運輸費的情況, 還想再言幾句:
carriage 運輸費:
例如: carriage paid to ... (CPT, 運費付至…)
carriage and Insurance Paid To ... (CIP, 運費、保險費付至…)
carriage free (運費免付)
carriage paid (運費已付)
carriage forward (運費到付)
freight 運輸費(租用船衹或飛機的費用, 尤其指水路運費:
例如: freight prepaid (運費已付)
freight collect (運費到付)

句子:
Take delivery of the goods and issue relevant documents such as the
Forwarders’ Certificate of Receipt, the Forwarders’ Certificate of Transport,
etc.句中:

12.1 比較說明下列句詞:
(1) take delivery of the goods and ... (即上句)
(2) ... and deliver the goods to the carrier.

deliver (及物動詞 vt.):

上句(2)的意思儅然就解釋爲"貨交承運人"了.我們也就不難理解貿易術語
中的D組術語:
delivered duty unpaid (DDU, 未完稅交貨)
delivered duty paid (DDP, 完稅後交貨) 的意思了

delivery (名詞 n.)
例如: delivery note (交貨單)
delivery receipt (送貨單)
delivery order (提貨單, 它的縮寫是 D/O)

take delivery of = receive (詞組 phr. 解釋"收到,接收")
值得注意的是: deliver(y) 和 take delivery of 意思正好曏左.

(1) Study the provisions of the letter of credit and ...
(provision = regulation, 稍側重於 clause)
(2) ... and all Government regulations ...
(regulation = provision,稍側重於 rule)

be applicable t
be applicable to = be able to have an effect on sth. (適用於...)

transit:
transit 原意是"通過、運送、搬運"等意思.貿易上的解釋見下例:
transit trade = entrepot trade 轉口貿易,過境貿易
transit country 過境國,中轉國.
transit operations 運輸過程
goods delayed in transit: 運輸中延誤的貨物(注意介詞的搭配)

句子: Arrange warehousing of the goods, if necessary.句中:
