Cross-border logistics is a transportation process that handles goods across borders. Its main purpose is to transport goods from the exporting country to the destination country and region safely and timely. There are many key trade terms in the cross-border logistics process, which are very important to ensure timely delivery of goods and accurate customs declaration.
A trade invoice is evidence issued by a trader to prove the occurrence and payment of a trade transaction. Import and export customs declaration is a global trade procedure that collects information on imported and exported goods, determines the tariff payment status of importing and exporting countries, and ensures that goods can enter other countries or regions. Import documents are documents including shipping and customs documents that prove the existence and details of a trade transaction. Export documents are documents that prove the export and safe delivery of goods, including customs declaration documents, transportation documents and insurance documents. Finally, customs clearance is the process by which customs officials review and inspect import and export goods to ensure they comply with local trade laws and regulations.
The above-mentioned cross-border logistics trade terms are very important and can help traders accurately identify the source and destination of goods and ensure the safety and timely delivery of goods. They can also facilitate traders’ activities in international trade and ensure accurate customs and tax declarations of goods.
How to determine the value of goods?
In cross-border logistics, determining the value of goods is a key process, which determines the transportation cost, security, customs declaration and tax declaration of goods. Therefore, in order to better manage the transportation process of goods, traders need to determine the value of goods.
There are many ways to determine the value of goods. The most commonly used method is to determine the value of goods based on the market price of the place of origin of the goods, that is, the market price of the country or region where the goods originate, and the market price of the destination country or region. In addition, the value of the goods can also be determined through the trade agreement between the trader and the consignee, including the purchase price of the goods, freight, insurance, customs declaration fees and other expenses.
The determination of the value of the goods can also be achieved by using the price list published on the official website, including commodity price information in major countries and regions, as well as the lowest price acceptable to the consignee.
In addition, the value of the goods can also be determined through direct negotiations between the trader and the consignee, including purchase price, freight, insurance, customs declaration fees and other expenses. Finally, the value of the goods, including purchase price, freight, insurance, customs clearance fees, etc., can also be determined through public bidding between traders and consignees.
In short, determining the value of goods is a key step in cross-border logistics. In order to better manage the cargo transportation process, traders need to comprehensively consider market prices, trade agreements, official website price lists, negotiations and other factors.
