What is an international logistics company?
International logistics companies play an important role in import and export trade. Under the authorization of shipping companies, they have the right to book cargo space and directly provide all import and export services to shipping companies and customers. With professional knowledge and rich experience, they provide convenience for both parties.
Once a deal is concluded, what are the procedures for international shipping?
After the transaction between the buyer and the seller is concluded and the product is produced, we arrange booking, and the factory delivers the goods to our warehouse, or we arrange loading of the goods at the factory, conduct export customs declaration, and load the goods on the ship. The export is completed after the ship departs.
In international logistics, what are the shipping terms?
Common shipping terms include:
DDP (door-to-door shipping includes tax, but tax payment certificate cannot be provided)
DDU (door-to-door shipping does not include tax, the consignee needs to pay the tax)
CFR (port-to-port shipping, the consignee needs to clear customs, pay taxes and pick up the goods)
What shipping method should I choose?
Common modes of transportation include: container shipping (low freight, but longer delivery time)
air transport (fast speed, but higher cost)
express delivery (suitable for small items, fast speed)
How can I save on shipping costs?
Choose the appropriate mode of transportation according to the actual situation.
In international logistics, the more goods you transport at one time, the cheaper the freight will be. For example, under CFR terms, FCL (full container load) will be cheaper than LCL (less than container load). Under DDP terms, the more goods you transport, the lower the unit price..
