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.

1. Headline transportation cost: It refers to the cost incurred in the first transportation of goods from China to the United States. The seller should choose a suitable transportation mode according to its own needs.

2. Warehousing or fulfillment charge: the cost of goods stored in overseas warehouses in the United States、 charged according to the storage period of goods、 and generally calculated according to the volume and weight of goods occupied.

3. Management fee: the expenses incurred by American overseas warehouse personnel for product entry、 transportation、 packaging and goods management do not include labor costs.

4. Delivery fee: One piece delivery is the service that most American overseas warehouses will provide now. The seller will push the order to the overseas warehouse、 and the overseas warehouse will arrange product delivery、 which is subject to the charge of the overseas warehouse.

5. Additional service fees: services such as transit、 return and replacement of goods、 overseas customer service、 etc. will be charged a certain amount of additional service fees、 mainly based on the services selected by the seller.

1. The first preparation is to print the warehousing label in the background during the process of sending it to FBA、 and make sure to print two copies to prevent one from wearing out during express transportation. Seal the barcode with adhesive tape after pasting to prevent abrasion.

2. The outer box must be marked with "Made in China" to avoid problems in customs clearance.

3. The declared value of FBA express goods in the United States should not exceed 800 dollars. If there are many goods with high value、 they can be delivered by several orders without any impact on warehousing. It is safer to declare that the amount is controlled within 800 US dollars per ticket、 but it is not recommended that the amount is about 400 US dollars per ticket. Of course、 if you want to send FBA the first air tax package route、 the freight forwarder will help you to modify the declaration.

4. The British FBA can choose to use the freight forwarding company's vat tax number for customs clearance in its initial stage and early stage、 but in the long run、 it still needs to register its own company's vat to avoid the British government's tax bureau's audit of accounts and fines.

5. For Amazon Japan Station、 we should choose a freight forwarding company with relatively strong strength、 so that the destination tariff will be relatively small and cost pressure will be saved.

6. For overweight goods、 if a box of goods exceeds 22kg、 it is better to paste "HEAVY PACKAGE" on the outer box so that it is easier to put on the shelf.

In the case of Matson Express、 it is a ship transporting international goods、 and its timeliness is relatively fast.

1、 Advantages of Meisen Express

2. Disadvantages

High price: because Meisen Express is the fastest channel、 the price of Meisen Express is also the highest.

The ship can only be shipped in Shanghai: after receiving the goods in other domestic cities、 they also need to be sent to Shanghai for shipment. They are not friendly to other regions outside Shanghai、 which will increase domestic transportation costs.

3. Suitable for Matson Express fast shipping

On the whole、 Meisen Express is still a good shipping channel in the United States、 but it can only ship at Shanghai ports. Such shipping channels are only suitable for export enterprises in Shanghai and its surrounding cities. How to be an export enterprise in Shenzhen? It may be more cost-effective to spend time and money to ship goods to Shanghai、 increase the time and cost of transportation、 and choose other sea transportation.

Matson Express fast shipping has unique advantages in terms of operation efficiency and cost. Mason's ships operate independently and ship transfer is a command center the final say. The docks in the United States are easy to contact with ships. Because ships depend on the weather、 there are many uncertain factors、 and many things need to be decided and responded in time. The ships from the terminal to Meisen need to contact Meisen and do not need to coordinate with other shipping companies. Moreover、 Midea ships are all owned ships、 and the crew members are all American employees of Meisen Company、 so communication is very simple. Customers of Meisen also feel it is very convenient to get on Meisen's boat、 use Meisen's boxes、 unload them at Meisen's dock、 and use Meisen's free chassis cars (other companies charge fees). It is very convenient.

6. Unique

As far as the specific route is concerned、 the possibility of duplication of Matson Express fast shipping route is very low. Hawaiian and Guam routes are domestic routes of the United States、 and other foreign ships cannot receive cargo there. But what can be copied is regression value. This is something everyone can do and the shipping company must do. Customers vary widely. Sometimes customers don't know what they need. Before you present a specific product to him、 he is not very clear. The shipping company is required to have a sharp vision and unique insight、 see the future needs and pain points of customers、 that is、 the pent up needs now、 and provide the services that customers need.

7. Excellent financial position

In fact、 when they came to China from the United States and Spain、 they were already profitable. Then return to the United States from China、 although as a return cargo、 the freight rate of Matson Express fast shipping is higher than that of other shipping companies' main eastbound routes. So the financial situation of this route is very good. Because good is a virtuous circle、 Matson Express fast shipping can provide free chassis cars in Long Beach and accelerate in case of weather conditions. Although the fuel cost will be much higher、 Matson Express fast shipping can do this in order to fulfill its commitment to the customer's shipping schedule. In fact、 this is a virtuous circle. Because of the good financial performance and the company's overall financial performance and profitability、 it is possible to travel eastward without slowing down when the market is depressed、 even when the oil price is very expensive and everyone else slows down. This is because the financial performance and income level of the ship's westward travel are very high、 which ensures that the Meisen line will not be delayed.
