What are the logistics modes of cross-border e-commerce?

The three most common modes of cross-border e-commerce logistics:

The traditional channels of cross-border e-commerce are "international post" and "international express delivery"

-but "post" is an article channel, not a trade channel. Now it is abused, and it is very likely to be strictly controlled by governments and even closed to e-commerce. "Express delivery" is a channel for trade in goods, but the cost is high and customs declaration is a bit inflexible and inconvenient, but it is a legal commercial channel with complete network and high speed.

The third cross-border e-commerce logistics model is "overseas warehouse"

Overseas warehouse is a brand-new logistics model developed with the rise of cross-border e-commerce. The overseas warehouse model has three parts: head-end transportation (typically FBA head-end), warehouse management and local delivery. The first transportation-from China Merchants to overseas warehouses (air transportation, sea transportation, etc. ); Overseas warehousing management-including warehousing, sorting, packaging, labeling and other services; Local delivery-overseas customers deliver goods directly from overseas warehouses after placing orders, and deliver them to the final customers through local logistics or express delivery in the destination country. The biggest advantage of overseas warehouses is strong timeliness (equivalent to domestic express delivery) and good customer experience. However, there are also cases of inventory overstock or shortage due to inaccurate sales forecast and market changes, and the inventory risk should not be underestimated.
