01 Large goods are easily damaged during transportation. Due to the characteristics of large goods such as large volume、 high quality and high value、 it is particularly important to ensure the integrity of the goods during transportation. However、 some overseas warehouses will ignore this. For example、 some overseas warehouses will not provide waterproof packaging for the goods、 adopt professional packaging techniques、 and create protective clothing、 which will cause damage to large goods during transportation due to improper packaging protection.

02 Large capital investment and cost estimation. The purchase cost of medium and large parts is much higher than that of small parts、 which has certain requirements for the seller's capital、 selection、 logistics and other capabilities.

03 In terms of logistics、 overseas warehouses are required、 and the logistics cost accounts for more than 30% of the turnover. Due to product weight、 volume and other reasons、 most large products are shipped to overseas warehouses by sea. After platform orders are generated、 they are directly delivered to consumers from overseas warehouses. The logistics cost of large products usually accounts for about 30% of the turnover、 which is reflected in the following aspects: the length of goods exceeds the standard、 extra long surcharges、 overweight products include overweight charges、 product packaging is too large、 and the size does not meet the standard、 which may lead to uncontrolled logistics costs.

The charging standard of international express depends on the actual weight and volume weight. Calculation method of package volume and weight: (length x width x height) (cm) ÷ 5000. Note that the unit of length、 width and height is cm. If the cargo of international express package is less than 0.5 kg、 it will be charged as 0.5 kg. Goods below 21Kg (46.3Ib) are charged as small goods、 the first weight and the second weight. The charging unit is 0.5Kg (1.1Ib)、 and goods above 21Kg are charged as large goods.

There are five physical steps and two document steps in the process of international shipping from the shipper to the consignee: export consignment、 origin processing、 export customs clearance、 shipping、 import customs clearance、 destination processing and consignment import.
