The CIS is the Commonwealth of Independent States, consisting of nine post-Soviet member countries: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan.

However, it is still an important logistics center because of its natural resources and large population.

Less than truckload, or LTL, is a method of shipping several pallets or packages over the road in a truck. An LTL shipment is consolidated with other LTL shipments to fill a truck. These shipments might be one pallet or could consist of multiple barrels of product, but they usually take up less than half of a truck.

Less Than Container Load, or LCL, is an ocean or sea cargo shipment that does not require the use of an entire shipping container. This might be a single pallet or several boxes or barrels of product. These shipments are calculated by weight or volume. Usually, freight forwarders will consolidate multiple LCL shipments into one container, optimizing the space available in the shipping vessel.

Multimodal transportation is a service that move cargo from one point or another using two or more modes of transport.
