International logistics dedicated lines generally mean that the logistics routes and international logistics dedicated lines that directly go to a certain country basically use the first direct flight to the destination country、 then carry out customs clearance、 and then send the logistics solution to the customer by the local logistics distributor. For example、 if you choose the American dedicated line product of Taobo's supply chain、 Todropshipping must use the direct flight to the United States to transport your goods to the United States、 Then it is generally delivered to customers by USPS of the United States. At present、 Todropshipping has special lines from more than 40 countries around the world、 including special lines from the United States、 Canada、 Australia、 New Zealand、 Britain、 Germany、 France、 Europe、 Israel、 etc.、 with excellent cost performance.

International shipping has the advantages of low transportation cost、 large cargo volume、 long time limit and large shipment volume.

There are two types of international shipping:

1. FCL Freight: one ticket for one container or one ticket for multiple containers;

2. LCL Freight: more than three bills for one container;

In fact、 it refers to the international maritime transport business、 which generally refers to the international shipping operators' use of their own or operated ships and spaces、 provision of international maritime cargo transport and passenger transport services and related activities around their ships、 passengers or goods to complete these services、 including signing relevant agreements、 accepting booking、 negotiating and collecting freight、 issuing bills of lading and other relevant transport documents、 arranging cargo loading and unloading Arrange storage、 cargo handover、 transshipment and vessel inbound and outbound activities.

To sum up、 there are five points:

1. Agency services such as booking space、 dragging containers、 loading and unloading、 warehousing and distribution、 customs declaration and inspection of full containers of import and export goods

2. Unpacking、 distribution and distribution of LCL goods

3. Provide extended services at home and abroad such as EWX、 DDP/DDU and door-to-door service

4. Sea air combined transport、 bulk cargo、 dangerous goods、 frozen goods and other special services

5. Provide all trade cooperation services and insurance agency services including import and export、 return、 bonded、 transit、 etc

First of all、 we need to know two concepts: billing weight unit、 first weight and additional weight

Billing weight unit: The international express industry generally takes 0.5KG (0.5kg) as a billing weight unit.

First weight and additional weight: the first 0.5KG is the first weight for international express delivery、 and every additional 0.5KG is an additional weight. Generally、 the cost of hoisting is higher than that of continuous hoisting.

There is one price between 0.5KG and 0.5KG、 which is the first weight price. The part exceeding 0.5KG will be charged according to the additional weight price

Therefore、 the actual freight is equal to the first weight price+additional weight price

When the actual weight of the goods to be delivered is greater than the volume weight、 the freight=first weight freight+(actual weight (kg) × 2－1) × Renewal freight

When the actual weight of the delivered goods is small but the volume is large、 the freight=the first freight+(volume weight (kg) × 2－1) × Renewal freight

Note that the freight here is only the basic freight、 not the final total cost、 and there may be other additional costs.

Packaging fee: Generally、 international express companies provide free packaging、 cartons、 bubbles and other packaging materials、 but many items、 such as clothing、 can be packaged without extra fine packaging、 but some express companies will charge a certain packaging fee for valuable and fragile items. Packaging costs are generally not included in the discount calculation.

Fuel surcharge: all major international express will be updated in real time according to market conditions. Please consult customer service for specific fees.

Other uncertain expenses: such as service fees in remote areas、 sensitive freight charges for sending batteries、 powders、 liquids、 food、 brands、 etc.、 which are mainly related to the items and regions you send.

Basically、 total cost=(freight+fuel surcharge) × Discount+packaging cost+other uncertain costs

In addition、 different countries and different logistics channels have different basic charging standards、 and the cost may also be affected by many factors such as flight outage. The specific charging standards can also be subject to the real-time quotation of the express company.
