Transshippers are people who sell things they do not have.
That is, they buy and sell and ship stuff, but they do it by having the person they buy something from send the stuff directly to the one they sold it to.
For example, a fish company in Los Angeles would sell some fish from Hawaii to a wholesaler in Atlanta, and he would have the guy in Hawaii send the fish directly to the guy in Atlanta without them ever going to his place in Los Angeles. Well, technically they would go through Los Angeles in this case, but this is a bad example. This method of buying and selling is called transhipping.
The tricky part is all the work involved in making it possible for the guy in Hawaii to send the fish directly to Atlanta. That's what transhippers do. Okay, again, Hawaii is a bad example since it's a State, but replace "Hawaii" with "Indonesia" and you'll see what I mean.
