According to the customs regulations, such as general daggers, scrapers, spring knives, double edged knives and other controlled knives with a length of more than 35cm are contraband and prohibited from import and export. While normal kitchenware, such as knives used for cooking and cutting vegetables, belong to non controlled knives that are not within the scope of limitation and can be sent by international express. Different from domestic express delivery, international express delivery involves many links and covers a wide range of areas, so special attention should be paid to some operation links. Due to the sharp knives, in order to ensure the safety of cargo transportation and operators, product packaging must be done well during the delivery.

Advantages of self built overseas warehouse: it can improve the delivery speed of products
Save logistics costs、 control the return and exchange of goods and after-sales service、 control the storage、 avoid the problem of warehouse explosion and logistics warehouse arrangement. It should be noted that the start-up capital of the self built overseas warehouse is relatively high in the early stage、 and the problems that need to be managed in different places and the risks that need to be borne are relatively high. If there are funds and goods in the early stage、 we can consider building our own overseas warehouse.
Advantages of third-party overseas warehouse: time-saving、 labor-saving and worry free
The cost is relatively low. Professional teaching can also save logistics costs. It has the advantage of centralized processing. There is no difference between off-season and peak season. Personnel management and control is simple. There are UPS or FEDEX accounts for centralized shipment at the end. The price must be much cheaper than that of individual overseas warehouses.
The benefits of special logistics lines are lower transportation costs、 definite arrival time、 and the ability to meet urgent goods. The logistics special lines of logistics companies are available in all the outlets nationwide、 with relatively stable speed and relatively high credit. The travel time of special line companies is generally determined、 the route is fixed、 and the transportation cost of customers will also be reduced.
The international special line logistics adopts the international direct flights to the destination countries、 the goods are short in transit、 the price is cheaper than the general logistics、 the formal commercial customs clearance、 the customs clearance sales are high、 and the direct delivery to customers is a very cost-effective logistics transportation scheme.
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.
