Cross-border dedicated logistics refers to the logistics company using its own dedicated vehicles or aviation resources to transport goods to its dedicated destination. Generally, it has its own branch or cooperative outlets at the destination for delivery. The characteristics of cross-border dedicated logistics are mainly reflected in the “special”. International dedicated logistics has its own special logistics transportation tools, logistics routes, logistics starting and end points, logistics transportation cycle and time, etc. At the same time, it also has logistics dedicated lines launched according to the characteristics of cross-border e-commerce logistics in specific countries or regions.
Due to its characteristics, the biggest advantage of cross-border dedicated logistics is its high cost performance. Because it is a dedicated transportation, there are few transfers and few warehouses, so the timeliness of cross-border dedicated logistics is very high. Generally, it can reach the destination in about a week. Moreover, the dedicated goods are relatively concentrated, with less intermediate losses and relatively cheap prices. At the same time, this logistics model can also effectively avoid customs clearance and commodity inspection risks to a certain extent.
However, dedicated logistics also has certain limitations due to its “special”, mainly because the destination countries (regions) to which it can be delivered are limited. The most common dedicated line logistics products on the market are the US dedicated line, the European dedicated line, the Australian dedicated line, the Russian dedicated line, etc. Many logistics companies have also launched the Middle East dedicated line, the South American dedicated line, the South African dedicated line, etc.
For example, the China-Russia Air “Ruston” (Russian Air) dedicated line is a service product launched by Heilongjiang Russian International Logistics Co., Ltd. and the Russian Post Office, providing China-Russia air parcel dedicated line services, “Harbin-Ekaterinburg” China-Russia air dedicated line cargo charter flights directly to Russia, and the overseas delivery link is fully undertaken by the Russian Post, which greatly improves the delivery time efficiency, and shortens the average time of China-Russia cross-border electronic logistics from nearly two months in the past to 13 days, and more than 80% of the packages arrive in the accessible areas of the post office throughout Russia within 25 days.
