What are the elements of international logistics and transportation?

In international logistics, the scale of commodity import and export is extremely wide in space. But if there is no transportation, the goods cannot be traded internationally. After the goods are bought and sold, they need to go through transportation and communicate with each other at the agreed time, place and conditions before the goods can be transported to the destination.

International logistics is a kind of "physical" physical movement. International logistics will not only change the spatial state of things, but will also change significantly in time. International logistics transportation is the primary task of changing the state of space. International cargo transportation is an important means to change the state of the space, and can well accomplish all tasks of changing the state of the space. In international logistics, cargo transportation can provide two functions: international logistics cargo transshipment and warehousing.

International cargo transportation is an important factor in the "third profit" of international logistics.

(1) International transportation is the flow of activities. It is different from the custody of other activities. It relies on a large amount of power consumption to realize this activity, and undertakes the task of international transportation and large-span space transfer. Therefore, the activity time is long, the distance is long, The consumption is also large. The absolute amount of consumption is large and the potential for saving is great.

(2) From the perspective of freight, freight occupies the highest proportion of all international logistics costs. Comprehensive analysis of the calculation of social logistics costs shows that transportation costs account for nearly 50% of the cost of some commodities, even higher than the production cost of commodities. Therefore, the potential for savings is great.

(3) Due to the large volume of international transportation and the large volume of transportation, through system reform and rationalization of transportation, transportation tonnage can be greatly reduced and greater savings can be generated.

The elements of international logistics freight

Generally speaking, an activity is completed by human-controlled tools, and transportation is no exception. In international cargo, it is mainly the shipping party, that is, the international logistics participant and the shipping service provider.

Tools are used to complete transportation. International cargo transportation is completed by a combination of one or more transportation methods. International cargo transportation consists of three aspects:

International transportation, international transportation and international transportation of the parties. The large area not only involves a wide range of mess, but also the situation is complicated. The transport carrier or the cargo owner cannot personally be responsible for a specific transportation business in the Caspian Sea, and many tasks need to be handled by an agent. In order to meet this need, in the field of foreign cargo transportation, just like in the trade field, there are already a large number of agency business agents or agents. They accept the client, the agency of various transportation services, and the services provided by paying some kind of remuneration (that is, agent, commission or freight). With the development of international trade and transportation, this transportation agency industry has also developed rapidly and extensively. At present, the agency industry has penetrated into every corner of the transportation industry and has become an indispensable part of the international cargo transportation industry.
