transport is by shipping rather than by air transport

reserved for products which must be sent within a certain
time frame.

Shipping
Shipping is the transport of cargo between seaports
by ships, typically large steel vessels powered by diesel
engines or steam turbine plants. Many nations have built
specialized naval ships to ensure the free movement
of legitimate cargo; these "merchant navies"
are essential to the world economy, carrying the bulk
of international trade. The ships are also extremely
expensive constructions themselves, being some of the
largest man-made vehicles ever. The term originates
with the shipping trade of wind power ships, and has
come to refer to the delivery of cargo and parcels of
any size above the common mail of letters and postcards.
Shipping can more generally refer to the transport of
freight ("shipments"), independent
of the mode of transport. An example would be Less-Than-Truckload
(LTL) Shipping, where the primary mode of transport
is by truck.
Cargo
Cargo is a term used to denotes goods or produce being
transported generally for commercial gain, usually on
a ship, plane, train or lorry. Nowadays containers are
used in all intermodal long-haul cargo transport.
