Cross-Border Logistics

The development of cross-border logistics, the interpretation of Canadian cross-border logistics transportation mode

Nowadays, more and more cross-border e-commerce foreign trade sellers. Whenever they start doing business and start placing orders, the first thing to consider is how to choose express logistics to send goods abroad. Generally speaking, as long as small sellers can ship through the platform, they can choose international and other channels. But now big sellers or sellers of independent platforms need to optimize logistics costs, consider customer experience, integrate logistics resources, and explore new logistics forms, so we must first understand the international logistics models of cross-border e-commerce.

We are familiar with the logistics business including sea, air, express, land transport, multimodal transport and so on. It can be subdivided into FCL, LCL, air freight, international express (business express, parcel), special line logistics, etc. Related businesses include towing, customs declaration, overseas warehousing, overseas return business, export tax refund, documents, etc. However, many people do not know much about foreign trade, such as Canadian cross-border logistics. Businesses use a number of third-party agents to send goods to global destinations.

When your order quantity reaches a certain base and the value of your goods is high, do you only consider the price? Do you only consider small bags and deliveries? In fact, we often encounter many problems when operating procedures, such as:

1: The goods are untraceable 

2: The buyer has not received the goods, and the goods have lost their packaging

3: They cannot clear customs and are detained by customs (general goods, sensitive goods, quota issues, etc.).

4: The busy season is very tight, if the schedule does not expire, the goods can not be delivered.

5: The shipping and delivery cycle is too long, and the buyer is waiting for the missing goods

6: Whether to consider the inventory turnover days and logistics cycle

How to choose a logistics provider depends on how to choose a transportation method that is convenient for buyers and suitable for them

Cross-border e-commerce platforms have strict requirements for sellers' freight services. For the seller, it is necessary to choose a suitable mode of transport according to the following principles

Principle 1: Good security, traceability, try to let the buyer know the delivery of the goods at any time.

Principle 2: Good timeliness, strong controllability. Goods should be delivered within the buyer's expected delivery time (in general, buyer's expectations increase with the price of the goods, and will be higher if the buyer can purchase the same goods locally)

Principle 3: Good service and high cost performance. Under the premise of ensuring that it does not violate the first and second principles, choose a cost-effective logistics model
