The characteristics of international freight

1. Natural environment differences

A very key feature of international freight transport is the difference in the natural environment of freight transport logistics, especially the difference in the soft environment of freight transport logistics. The application of different freight logistics laws in different countries makes the diversity of international freight far more than that of domestic freight in one country, and even hinders international freight. Different countries with different economic development and intelligent technology level will lead to the international freight under the support of different high-tech standards, and even some regions can not use some technology to drive down the international freight system software level; Different countries have different standards, which also leads to the difficulty of international "docking". Therefore, international logistics management system cannot be established. The customs of different countries, history and culture also make international freight suffer from quite big limitations.

Because of the differences in the natural environment of freight logistics, an international logistics management system must operate in a natural environment with many different laws and regulations, histories and cultures, customs, languages, high and new technologies and equipment, which will undoubtedly greatly increase the difficulty coefficient of freight logistics and the diversity of system software.







2. Wide coverage of system software

Freight logistics effect factors, system software and external communication is multifarious, international freight and complex system software upgrade here again different factors of the country, not only the broad and spacious interior space, and the internal and external factors relating to a lot of, need more time, broad category of immediate impact is the difficulty coefficient and diversity, risk.

Naturally, but also because of this, once the international freight into the intelligent system software technology, the actual effect is more obvious than before. For example, when a "land bridge" is opened, the international freight rate will double and the economic benefits will be obvious.







3. High standards

To make the international freight logistics smooth up, unified standards is very critical, it can be said, without a unified standard, the international freight level is not raised high. Britain and Europe have maintained the uniform standards of special tools and equipment for freight logistics, such as 1000×1200mm for towing plates, several types of uniform specifications and models of shipping containers and RFID technology, etc. In this way, logistics freight and difficulty coefficient of shipping are greatly reduced. And countries that do not integrate into this norm are bound to spend more time and money on many aspects such as shipping and changing chassis, thus reducing their international market competitiveness.

At the technical level of express information transmission, European countries not only maintain the internal standardization of the company, but also maintain the standardization of the company and the European unified sales market, which makes the intermediate system software in European countries easier and more reasonable than the communication with Asian, African and other countries.







4. Modern information management system is applicable

Modern information management system (MIS) is a key application mode for international freight transport, especially for international combined transport. The difficulty factor of the establishment of international information management system is, first, the management method is difficult, second, the project investment is huge, and because some regions of the world express information level is high, some regions are low, there will be information content level imbalance, so the establishment of information management system is more difficult.

Nowadays, a good way to create international logistics information management is to network with the public information management system of Chinese customs in all countries of the world, and to grasp the specific situation of each seaport, airport, freight route and station, so as to show the application for supply or market sales of freight logistics management decisions. International freight is the industry that develops the trend of electronic data interchange (EDl) at the very beginning. International freight based on EDI will cause great harm to the modernization of freight logistics.
