The activitices that revolve around - receiving storing and disseminating of incomming good and material for use is called INBOUND LOGISTICS.
The movement of goods or materials to various channels of storage transportation and distribution to end customers is OUTBOUND LOGISTICS
I think inbound logistics should start after agreeing with the seller or the exporter on the way of shipping or freight then coordinating with all responsible parties in both sides for following the goods until reaching to the importer port , delivering the shipping documents to the customs for clearance , inland transportation to the warehouses and storing the goods .
The outbound logistics is the opposite of inbound which including responsibility for the exit or movement of the goods due to local sale or export agreement from the warehouses until reaching to the purchaser including freight and documents .
The process of receiving, storing of incoming goods for use is called INBOUND LOGISTICS.
The movement of material associated with storing, transporting and distributing goods to the customers called OUTBOUND LOGISTICS.
Inbound logistics are any commodities either specifically ordered or implied whether it is equipment, personnel, or supplies needed to safely maintain your assigned task. Outbound logistics are the same wether not used, damaged for repair or disposal, returned to stock or rental vendor. Definitive accurate paper/email trails MUST be initiated, maintained, confirmed, and I suggest an After Action Review ( AAR) be conducted, especially when new suppliers are utilized, whether by road, air, or sea.
