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.
Compared with international express delivery and air transportation、 ocean transportation has more and more complicated processes. Because of the large volume of goods and many categories、 there are mainly the following processes: booking space、 loading containers、 customs declaration、 customs clearance、 and picking up goods.
Booking space: Before shipping、 first confirm with the cooperative logistics supplier that your goods can be transported、 such as flammable and explosive goods、 military goods、 medical equipment、 counterfeit brands、 adult supplies and batteries over 100 watts can not be transported、 the shipping company can transport your goods、 and you also need to confirm what certification your goods need in the exporting country to avoid being seized by the customs. When you are ready for this、 you can book space with the shipping agent from the shipping company、 and then issue the SO form. Generally、 you can make an advance forecast two to three days before loading. At this time、 you can prepare the customs declaration materials.
Container loading: Choose a freight forwarding company that can pick up goods free of charge in this city、 and you can save a delivery fee. Before packing、 the number of pieces、 weight、 squares and plates shall be confirmed before packing、 so as to avoid the discrepancy between the freight forwarder's measurement and its own、 and the packing list shall be prepared. Then make an appointment with the freight forwarder to pick up the goods.
Customs declaration: customs declaration can be divided into tax refund customs declaration and bill declaration. Only companies with import and export business rights and companies that have signed paperless customs declaration at electronic ports can apply for tax refund customs declaration. Generally、 materials that need to be prepared are: foreign trade contracts、 invoices、 packing lists、 customs declaration letters of attorney (not used in Ningbo Shanghai Guangzhou)、 draft customs declaration forms (including declaration elements)、 special documents (customs clearance forms for outbound goods、 export licenses、 etc.). If the materials are not fully prepared or need to be replenished、 the freight forwarding company will notify you to replenish the materials in time to ensure the normal delivery of the goods.
Customs clearance: mainly including declaration、 tax payment、 inspection and release. The shipping order and declaration form shall be prepared and submitted to the customs at the destination、 and then the customs shall pay taxes according to the declared value of goods. The customs will inspect and review the goods according to the inspection process of relevant goods. This may delay some time、 depending on the nature and category of the goods. As long as there is no problem in the inspection、 the customs will release and then the consignee can pick up the goods.
According to the form and packaging of goods、 the maritime transport goods are divided into three categories: liquid goods、 dry bulk goods and general cargo. The three categories of goods are divided as follows:
① Liquid cargo: petroleum、 product oil、 liquefied gas、 liquid chemicals and other liquid cargo.
② Dry bulk cargo: various primary products and raw materials. Generally、 dry bulk cargo can be divided into bulk cargo and small bulk cargo according to the size of transportation batch. Bulk cargo mainly includes coal、 metal ore、 grain、 etc; Small batch bulk cargo includes steel、 wood、 fertilizer、 cement、 etc.
③ General cargo: mainly including electromechanical equipment、 chemical industry、 light industry medicine and other industrial finished products、 agricultural、 animal husbandry and fishery products. These goods are generally consigned in the form of "pieces"、 "boxes" and "bundles"、 including packaged goods、 unpacked goods or non packaged goods、 and unitized goods.
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.
