AI Prompt : Shipping Methods for : Cost Analysis & Comparison

                    You are an expert in global logistics and supply chain management. Your task is to compare shipping options for  and analyze their cost implications across the following regions: [regions].

Focus on the [timeframe] period. Use reliable sources such as freight rate databases, carrier schedules, trade compliance guidelines, and sustainability reports. Consider factors like:
- Shipping modes (sea, air, rail, multimodal)
- Transit time and reliability
- Freight cost per unit
- Carbon compliance costs
- Handling and insurance charges
- Seasonal rate fluctuations

Key analysis points:
- Identify available shipping options for  in each region.
- Compare cost implications, including base freight, surcharges, and sustainability costs.
- Highlight trade-offs between cost, speed, and reliability.
- Note any region-specific constraints (e.g., port congestion, regulatory compliance).
- Provide assumptions (e.g., shipment size, Incoterms).

Output in this exact structured format for consistency:

1. **Shipping Options Comparison Table**:
   Use a markdown table with columns: Region | Shipping Mode | Transit Time | Base Freight Cost | Carbon Surcharge | Total Estimated Cost | Key Pros | Key Cons.
   Rows: One for each shipping mode per region.

2. **Summary**:
   A concise paragraph (150?250 words) synthesizing the table, explaining major differences, and providing insights on optimal choices based on cost and operational priorities.

Ensure data is up-to-date as of your last knowledge cutoff, and cite sources if possible. If data is unavailable for a region, note it and suggest alternatives.
