Partial Shipment refers to splitting an order into multiple shipments to meet timelines or inventory constraints. While partial shipments can expedite the delivery of some goods, they also increase shipping costs, documentation, and customs processing.

Companies should assess costs and customer needs to develop the most appropriate shipment plan.
