The role of international logistics in promoting international trade

International logistics undoubtedly brings important support to global trade. In the gradually upgraded international trade activities, international logistics plays an important role and gradually deepens the connection between the two. On the one hand, the frequent activities of international trade have opened the market of logistics and laid an important prerequisite for its development. On the other hand, by reducing logistics costs and other ways, international logistics in the global economic situation to improve the requirements, strengthen the quality of international logistics, thus providing the necessary guarantee for international trade. To strengthen the analysis of the relationship between the two and explore the promotion of international logistics is of practical significance to the healthy development of international trade.

I. Introduction of international logistics and international trade

International logistics carries out the transportation of trade goods between different regions, which is a commercial activity. Its process is connected by multiple transportation points and constitutes a system to jointly complete trade. If there is a delay at any point of logistics, it will affect the completion of its operation [1]. There are many factors that affect international logistics, among which facilities and equipment are the foundation, which constructs the channels of logistics, such as roads, railways and Bridges. Reasonable transportation network is crucial to the smooth flow of logistics. International logistics business covers the whole world, so the construction level of sea, land and air transportation determines the level of international logistics in a certain region. International logistics, as the hub of import and export, maintains the realization of trade and serves as an important medium. In short, the specific process of international trade is logistics. Logistics exerts an influence on trade from the aspects of cost, infrastructure and efficiency. In a favorable environment, logistics can inject its preferential conditions into trade and promote development.

International trade is the circulation of goods between different countries, mainly represented by export, which has sustained and steady growth on the whole and plays a key role in the development of the world economy [2]. International trade is highly sensitive to economic changes. For example, the outbreak of the financial crisis has reduced the volume of trade and blocked its expansion. The level and management quality of trading enterprises also play a significant role in it. The realization of informatization can effectively improve the level of trade and promote economic exchanges and cooperation across the country. With the cooperation of logistics, international trade continues to expand its business. At the same time, its modernization development process also improves logistics requirements and increases the proportion of quality in safety and efficiency, which not only deepens the interaction between the two, but also promotes the adjustment and reorganization of logistics and trade structure.

Second, international logistics to promote international trade

The expansion of international trade activities improves the flow of global capital and promotes the development of trade modernization process while obtaining greater economic benefits [3]. In the face of change, the obsolete mode of logistics is obviously difficult to cope with the higher demand of trade, prompting itself to make adjustments. International logistics from cost saving, reducing resources input and other measures to improve the quality of its own, so that it can meet the demand, and in turn to the international trade, promote its development.

(I) Efficient logistics to expand trade and eliminate trade defects

International trade activities cannot be separated from specific transportation. International logistics integrates the realization process of trade uniformly. By combining with local laws and policies, international logistics tries to eliminate various interfering factors and effectively reduce the resistance of trade activities. On the basis of the development of science and technology, informatization and automation technology are applied in a large number of logistics, so as to improve the efficiency of logistics. Efficient forms reduce the difficulty of transportation, build a smooth bridge for trade and promote the development of trade [4]. Due to the different transportation levels in different countries, the infrastructure construction is also at different levels. The rich logistics forms can adapt to various transportation environments such as sea, land and air, and its high transportation flexibility can adjust the logistics forms according to the transportation conditions in different regions to promote the development of trade activities. Efficient logistics eliminates the constraints of the extremely low level of infrastructure construction and low economic development in some regions, thus eliminating the transportation gap between developed and underdeveloped countries to some extent and realizing mutual trade.

(2) Standardize logistics operations to improve trade efficiency

The development of international trade activities must adopt some effective language to communicate, in order to ensure the smooth completion of transactions. In this process, international logistics has become the joint point of regional trade, reducing trade chaos and promoting the standardization of international trade progress. International logistics has taken a series of measures to standardize the operation, in accordance with international standards to develop the operation process, so that any link has rules to follow. Such as the use of equipment, inspection procedures, the use of bar code and other technologies to identify the authenticity of goods, strengthen the management of goods. The wide application of modern technology has innovated the traditional logistics and improved the efficiency of international trade rapidly. Through the standardization of the logistics operation, the formation of the international order, and can accelerate the development of international trade, reduce barriers, at the same time, the improvement of logistics technology, make the transportation more efficient and convenient, and transportation security more secure, reduces the cost of investment, reduce the manpower resources, simplify the procedure at the same time improve the quality of the logistics. This gives both ends of international trade more time to increase trade volume, thus promoting the modern development of international trade.

(3) Diversified logistics to enhance trade exchanges and improve trade quality

In fact, international logistics is a link that provides services for international trade, and the quality of services is directly related to the effect of trade. International trade itself involves a very broad range, and often has a large number of goods transaction, resource flow, capital global transfer, so that international trade has become a huge source of information. The construction of diversified logistics not only means the enrichment of transportation forms and the increase of facilities, but also the diversification of technology application and logistics mode. Driven by modern science and technology, international logistics is no longer just a transportation link of international trade, but can tap higher value through transportation [5]. Through the establishment of a diversified information system, comprehensive collection, sorting out all kinds of trade information, logistics information, the formation of a comprehensive database, convenient retrieval, to provide the query of various resources. The construction of such diversified logistics mode shortens the distance between countries. The improvement of transportation conditions shortens the physical distance, while the collation of data shortens the information distance between countries, thus improving communication. As long as international trade needs, through information, establish the optimal mode of transportation, design the best route, can promote the shortening of trade cycle, accelerate the pace of trade. In this process, the optimal choice of transportation actually eliminates the impact of adverse factors, and gives full consideration to the possible problems in the logistics process, so as to ensure the smooth trade. The diversification of logistics improves the quality of trade and promotes the development of trade from the pursuit of speed to quality.

Measures to strengthen the role of international logistics in promoting international trade

Facts have proved that international logistics can form a huge driving force, promote the development of international trade, study the relationship between the two, through improving the way of logistics, can enhance the driving role of international logistics, so that international trade in the future of the world economic construction has more achievements.

(1) Strengthen policy guidance and improve logistics management

International trade is the transaction of goods between countries, so it is bound to be affected by national policies. To improve the level of international trade, it is necessary to strengthen policy guidance, standardize logistics activities and eliminate the phenomenon of logistics disorder [6]. According to the international situation, through exchanges and discussions, strengthen the formulation of international policies, improve the system, make it reasonable and feasible, form international binding force, change the lagging form of international logistics. Actively guide logistics enterprises to establish service concept, strengthen management, explore and innovate logistics organization forms, develop modern management models, and enrich ways to meet trade needs. Through the guidance of policy, reduce the blindness of logistics, guide the clear aspects of logistics construction, make goals, and promote the improvement of efficiency. On the premise of expanding its advantageous business, relevant enterprises can effectively promote the healthy improvement of logistics by relying on policy support and strengthening competition.

2. Strengthening the allocation of transport facilities and improving logistics development

With the development of economy, the trade degree of various countries is getting higher and higher, and the competition is also gradually increasing. In this trend, in order to improve the level of logistics and strengthen the competitiveness of trade, it is necessary to improve the equipment configuration and strengthen the construction of facilities according to the local conditions. Competition more objectively provided the power, the realization of the complete transportation network, must have sufficient resources investment, infrastructure construction is the important guarantee of international logistics, thus to improve construction at the same time, also want to take measures to improve the utilization rate, such as the pier, replacing old facilities, increase of container, etc., improve the capacity of goods, guarantee facilities the actual function, Improve logistics capabilities. In the current international trade, the port is one of the important facilities, should be taken as the key to strengthen and complete, give play to its international trade hub role, use modern science and technology, rely on infrastructure, strengthen the optimization of logistics, enhance logistics services, expand a number of value-added services, so as to form a strong driving force of international logistics.

3. Strengthening it application and promoting modernization

The development of international logistics depends on the construction of information technology. Relying on the information industry, logistics speeds up the pace of modern construction. Therefore, we should pay full attention to the construction of logistics informatization and promote the modernization process. Through building information platform, integrating logistics data, applying modern technology, developing network system, forming a huge network library, promoting the sharing of logistics resources. Improve the linkage of international logistics information, real-time control of the flow of goods, trade trends, so as to take advantage. Strengthen international exchanges, promote the construction of international technical standards, logistics standards, strengthen coordination, improve the integration of information. The construction of information technology improves the initiative of international logistics, reduces the cost of trade, speeds up the operation and makes logistics more convenient.

conclusion

To sum up, international logistics comes into being in international trade and reacts on international trade at the same time, and the two are interdependent. The development of international trade can promote the improvement of the world economy, so strengthening the development of international trade is an important measure to ensure the prosperity of the world economy. It is of great significance to explore the role of international logistics in promoting the development of international trade, make clear its specific effect, and take effective measures to aggregate the driving force of international logistics and act on international trade. With the narrowing of the distance between countries and the deepening of the relationship between international trade and international logistics, the relationship between international trade and international logistics will become more and more close. How to improve the role of international logistics in promoting international trade needs further discussion.
