Spanish term or phrase: Remitente de tráfico
Spain and LatAm. This term appears under code 451 of the STCC (Standard Transportation Commodity Classification) listings. AFAIK, "remitente" is usually "sender", but I suspect that in this case it may another term for a freight forwarder, although they appear as "transitarios" elsewhere in the lists. Looking for confirmation or suggestions.

Explanation:
As you might imagine, STCC codes began life in English and can be found if you look for them. What exactly it means I don't know, but I dont think you need to care either.

The Technical Committee agreed that the framers of the Code used the term "Similar Traffic" in STCC Section 45, "Shipper Association or Similar Traffic", for identification of shipper cooperatives, shippers' agents, pool car operators, consolidators, distributors, and other nonprofit groups exempt from regulation under
Part IV of the Interstate Commerce Act covering for-hire and for-profit freight forwarders.

Although "Remitente de tráfico" does not seem to correspond to this translation, it is what appears on line 451 on the official list of codes, so I will just assume that the Spanish used here is a ropey translation. Thanks everyone who took the time to comment on this, I really appreciate it.

remitente de tráfico
dropshipper


Explanation:
I can recall - from my pre-Internet, 2x student-job London export-clerking days - neither traffic forwarder nor, for that matter, dropshipping, but the latter seems to fit the bill : 'provide (goods) by direct delivery from the manufacturer to the retailer or customer.'

Otherwise, syntactically, de tráfico sometimes means 'in the course of a trade or business'.

Example sentence(s):
  • Coste por adquisición. En este modelo, el anunciante solo paga al remitente de tráfico una cantidad fija o porcentual si el tráfico enviado acaba en una conversión o venta
  • Compras el producto al Dropshipper > El Dropshipper envía el producto a tu cliente

neutral  philgoddard: Your second reference implies that Spanish uses the English word. And, since this is an international set of codes, there is only one correct answer.

Notes to answerer
Asker: One of the previous strings in the list is "shipper association traffic".....

Asker: Transporte asociado o tráfico similar -> Shipper association or similar traffic Tráfico de transitarios -> Shipper traffic Tráfico de transporte de carga -> Freight forwarder traffic

Asker: In this link (https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-49/subtitle-B/chapter-X/subchapter-C/part-1248/subpart-B), it comes up as: "Shipper Association or Similar Traffic, Carload or Truckload." So I may have to just use your suggestion in the end.

agree  Luis M. Sosa: IMO shipper will make it, all the rest is redundant.

  -> Puede ser, pero lo puse tal cual como figura en el listado oficial.
neutral  philgoddard: I'm not sure this is it. "Shipper association" is "transporte asociado".
6 hrs
  -> Don´t forget the "traffic". This is exactly what is shown on line 451 on the official list of codes.
