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.

The third-party e-commerce warehousing and distribution is a value-added service for cross-border e-commerce sellers to help them solve problems such as goods storage、 goods packaging、 printing and pasting、 logistics and distribution. The seller only needs to deliver the goods to a third-party freight forwarding company that can provide e-commerce storage and delivery、 and the freight forwarding company will store and keep the goods. After the subsequent order is placed、 the freight forwarding company will directly remove the goods from the shelf and help the seller send the goods abroad using the corresponding logistics.

The requirements for international express delivery are as follows: the sender must be a legal citizen. If the sender is a company、 the company name should be filled in. If it is private、 private ID card is required. The package sent shall meet the requirements of international freight transport and shall not be prohibited by the customs. Shipment needs to be packed in sturdy cartons. Irregular and iron box and rubber box are not allowed. It is required to declare truthfully and cannot be concealed. International express includes DHL、 UPS、 tnt、 FEDEX、 EMS、 etc. If you need to send、 you need to open an account with them、 or find their agent (such as Todropshipping). For shipment、 one waybill and one commercial invoice attached with the goods shall be filled in for customs clearance. The data shall be detailed and accurate、 and shall be filled in English uniformly.

What is warehousing consignment:

Consignment means that e-commerce cooperates with third-party fulfillment and logistics companies、 signs relevant contracts、 places its own goods in third-party warehouses、 or the purchased goods are directly delivered to third-party warehouses by the supplier、 the system provided by the third party matches the domestic waybill number with the international waybill number、 e-commerce makes item remarks in the system remarks column、 and the third party checks and verifies that there is no error The third-party warehousing company will help the e-commerce to handle the delivery、 packaging and delivery of goods. If the delivered goods are delivered in large batches、 in multiple days and batches、 it is necessary to put the goods on shelves in the system and the warehouse location、 place the goods in the corresponding warehouse location、 and ensure the consistency of product names and quantities. The customer only needs to place an order directly in the system next time、 set an inventory alert、 and replenish the inventory in a timely manner. This is warehousing.

Many people separate fulfillment from consignment. In fact、 in my opinion、 this is just one thing. It saves e-commerce from spending a lot of manpower、 material resources and energy on warehouse and operation、 and also improves the professionalism of operation. It also eliminates the need to send goods to e-commerce first、 then to e-commerce and then to logistics providers. It also greatly improves the timeliness、 while ensuring the speed and quality of logistics services.

1. You need to first determine whether the items you send can be sent、 whether they are ordinary goods or special sensitive goods such as electrified and liquid goods、 ordinary goods and sensitive goods can be sent、 and prohibited goods are not allowed to be sent.

2. It is better to seal the packaging、 vulnerable and leaky articles before delivery、 add foam bags and other appropriate protection to prevent the goods from being damaged. The price of international express is calculated according to weight and volume weight. Reasonable space arrangement and volume control can save a lot of freight.

3. If the recipient's information is not detailed or incorrect、 it will cause the express delivery to be unable to deliver the goods to the recipient accurately and timely、 or even cause the goods to be sent wrongly. Be sure to check carefully and make no mistakes. Note: The address of domestic express delivery shall be filled in Chinese、 while that of international express delivery shall be filled in English.

4. Tariff and tariff are determined based on the type of goods、 the quantity and value of goods and the customs policy of the destination country. The probability of levying tariffs on normal personal goods is very small. Generally、 the declared value of your goods does not exceed the tariff threshold of the passing national customs、 and there is no need to pay tariffs.

5. Customs clearance. If the sensitive goods or articles are too high in value and need to pay customs duties、 the freight forwarding company will send the materials required for customs clearance to the recipient. The recipient needs to provide documents and goods information in accordance with the format. After customs quarantine、 review and inspection are completed、 the recipient can release and continue to deliver after paying customs duties. If the goods themselves are defective、 they may be detained and destroyed.
