What is cross-border logistics?
Cross-border logistics refers to the planning, implementation and control management process of the effective flow and storage of physical objects and information between customs clearance parties.

Characteristics of cross-border logistics:

1, the service function is single, the value-added services are few, and the homogenization competition is more serious. Most cross-border logistics enterprises can only provide sea logistics or air logistics services, and few cross-border logistics enterprises can provide multimodal transport (such as sea-air transport) and meet other different needs of customers; When providing cross-border logistics services, it is limited to traditional services such as customs declaration and space booking, and there are few aspects in providing transportation scheme optimization design and comprehensive logistics services, and homogenization competition is more serious.

2. Competition is concentrated in the southeast coastal areas, with less competition in the central and western regions. Due to the developed economy in the southeast coastal areas such as Bohai Rim, Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta, the demand for cross-border transportation is strong, and the infrastructure such as shipping and air transportation in this area is relatively perfect, so the competition for goods and transportation resources is the fiercest. Because the economy in the central and western regions is relatively inactive, the demand for cross-border transportation is less and the transportation cost is higher, so the international freight forwarding service resources in this region are less invested.

3. The competition within a region or a single industry is fierce, and there is less competition across regions and industries. Although there are many competitors in the market, the cross-border logistics industry is limited by its own financial strength, management and technical capabilities, and its competition is manifested in the competition among enterprises in a regional market, such as the competition among cross-border logistics enterprises in the Yangtze River Delta region. Or the competition for customer resources in a certain industry, such as the competition for customer resources in electronics manufacturing, while the competition across regions and industries is less.
