What is international logistics

International logistics refers to the logistics activities that cross national borders and involve a series of links such as cargo transportation, warehousing, packaging, insurance and customs declaration. It is an important part of global trade and business exchanges and provides the necessary support and guarantee for international trade. The development and operation of international logistics involves various complex factors and elements, including supply chain management, transportation mode, tariff policy, international trade rules and so on.

The main objective of international logistics is to achieve the efficient transportation and delivery of goods worldwide. In order to achieve this goal, international logistics needs to consider a variety of factors, such as the choice of transport mode, the packaging and marking of goods, the control of transit time, the layout of the transportation network, and so on. Different international logistics activities also need to comply with different international trade rules and standards, such as the International Chamber of Commerce's International Rules for the Carriage of Goods (Incoterms) and the relevant provisions of the World Trade Organization.

In international logistics, supply chain management is very important. Supply chain management includes the management of the entire process from raw material procurement to final product delivery. In international logistics, supply chain management needs to take into account the differences between different countries and regions, such as differences in language, culture, law and currency. In order to ensure the smooth operation of the supply chain, international logistics enterprises need to establish a sound supply chain management system, including supplier selection and evaluation, inventory management, order processing, transportation arrangements, etc.

Another key factor is the choice of mode of transport. The common modes of transport in international logistics include sea transport, air transport, railway transport and road transport. Choosing the right mode of transportation can effectively reduce costs, improve transportation efficiency, and ensure the safety and timely delivery of goods. Different modes of transport are suitable for different types of goods and different distances. For example, sea transport is usually used for bulk cargo and long distance transport, while air transport is more suitable for goods with higher transport time requirements.
