Now that we know what freight forwarding is, let’s learn about international logistics. Friends who are new to international logistics may be confused by so many logistics. In fact, this is similar to domestic logistics. When we send express domestically, we usually use STO and YTO. , ZTO, Yunda, SF Express and other express delivery prices are different, but the delivery methods are similar. International express delivery is also similar to domestic express delivery, except that the freight is more expensive than domestic express delivery, and the delivery time is longer. Then let’s get to know the common international logistics.
Postal parcel.
Commonly used postal parcel logistics channels include: China Post parcel, Hong Kong Post parcel, Singapore Post parcel, etc. All kinds of postal parcels are sent to the world through the Universal Postal Union. As long as there are postal services around the world It can be delivered wherever you want.
Small parcels are divided into registered small parcels and ordinary mailed small parcels. Registered small parcels have an extra registration fee than ordinary mailed small parcels. Once a small parcel is registered, you can track and check logistics information online, while ordinary mailed parcels do not have online tracking services.
Generally, you can choose postal parcel logistics to send some products that are small in size and light in weight. Postal parcels are limited to items within 2 kilograms. The billing is calculated in grams, and the outer packaging is also limited in length, width and height. The total sum should be less than 90 centimeters. For example, if the length, width and height are 30 centimeters, 30 centimeters, and 30 centimeters respectively, then the sum is 90 centimeters. The maximum length cannot be more than 60 centimeters. Taking the United States as an example, the delivery time for postal parcels is 20 to 50 days. The advantage is that it is cheap and has strong customs clearance capabilities. As for the specific price, you can check it on the official website of each logistics company, or you can consult with the cooperating freight forwarder.
Postal parcel.
In addition to small postal parcels, there are also large postal parcels. Large postal parcels are basically the same as small parcels. The billing method for large postal parcels is calculated per kilogram. Generally, the first weight is 1 kilogram and the additional weight is 1 kilogram. Limitations The maximum weight varies from country to country, please refer to the official website. The delivery time for large postal parcels to the United States is similar to that for small parcels, 20 to 50 days. The advantage is that it is cheap and has strong customs clearance capabilities.
After the introduction of small packages and large packages, I believe that everyone has a certain understanding of postal logistics. I suggest that if you sell products with relatively low prices and low time requirements, you can choose to send them to China Post. Small or large package.
International Express.
Commonly used international express delivery includes EMS, UPS, DHL, FedEx, TNT, etc. Since they are express delivery, their delivery time is relatively fast, usually within 3 to 7 days, but express delivery has In addition to freight, other fees are charged, including fuel fees, surcharges, and cargo disposal. Sold goods means that the volumetric weight is greater than the actual weight, and the charge is based on the volumetric weight.
Here I will introduce EMS first. EMS has relatively strong customs clearance capabilities and the delivery time is 4 to 7 days. The billing method is based on the first weight of 0.5 kg and the additional weight of 0.5 kg. The price of EMS will be relatively expensive. In addition, EMS does not include fuel costs, cargo disposal and remote area surcharges, but a customs declaration fee of 4 yuan will be added.
The four major express delivery methods of UPS, DHL, FedEx, and TNT are also calculated based on the first weight of 0.5 kilograms and the additional weight of 0.5 kilograms. These four major express delivery companies will calculate fuel costs, remote area surcharges, and cargo dumping. , the speed is faster, but the cost will be more expensive.
Now that I have introduced international express delivery, I believe everyone has a certain idea. If you want to know more about international express delivery, you can go to the official websites of major express delivery companies to inquire.
Tips.
If you choose to send express delivery, I would like to give you some suggestions. For buyers who require extremely urgent delivery time, UPS is very fast. The price of DHL for small items is advantageous, while the price of FedEx for large items is more affordable, and you can also pay the freight collect. If you are shipping to buyers in areas with frequent military wars, it is recommended to send TNT express, but the price is more expensive than other express delivery options.
