International Logistics
International Logistics1. InterfaceIt is increasingly difficult to keep separate the practices of domestic and international logistics. International logistics—the movement of goods across national boundaries— occurs in the following situations:(1)A firm exports a portion of a product made or grown, for example, papermaking machinera to Sweden, wheat to Russia, or coal to Japan.(2)A firm imports raw materials such as pilpwood form Canada, or manufactured products such as motorcycles from Italy or Japan.(3)Goods are partially assembled in one country and then shipped to another, where then are futher assembled or proccessed. For example, a firm stamps electronic components in the United States. It ships them to a free trade zone in the Far East, where low-cost labor assembles them, and then the assembled components are returner to the United States to become part of the finished product.(4)The firm is global in outlook and srrs almost all nations as being markets, sources of supply, or sites for markers or for assembly operations.(5)Because of geography, a nation's domestic commerce crosses foreign borders, often in bond. For example,goods moving by through Canada, travel in bond, which means that the carrier handling them has a special legal obligation to keep them sealed and to mark certain that they are not released for sale or use within the country they are traveling through. Products shipped in bond are not subject to normal duties of the country through which they are passing.Until World War II, concepts of international trade were simple. Industrialized powers maintained political and economic colonies that were sources of raw materials, cheap labor, and markets for manufactured products. When dealing with colonies, manufactures in the parent country bought low and sold high. World War II brought an end to the colonial system; since then, emerging nations have attempted to developtheir own political and economic systems with varying degrees of success. As emerging nations attempt to flex their political and economic muscles, they cause changes in the traditional ways of conducting international business.Developing nations insist that an increasing proportion of assembling and manufacturing be conducted within their own borders. Because the role of these governments in their own economies is substantial, they are able to exert considerable influence over outside firms desiring to do business within their borders. They want their share of the supply chain's activity. They are becoming more insistent that much of their foreign trade be carried on vessels or planes owned by companies headquartered within their boundaries. They want their local firms to have at least their fair share of revenues from the sale of freight-forwarding services, marine insurance, and other distribution functions.Traditionally,the United States has been a major exporter of manufactured goods and agricultural products. Because of its wealth, the Unites States has also imported many consumer goods, however, in the last three decades; several major changes have upset these traditional patterns. A new equilibrium has yet to be reached. The United States has been running trade deficits annually because of its large purchases of imported oil.The fluctuating value of the U.S. dollar has an impact on the flow of both exports and imports. When the dollar is weak, it is more costly to import, but foreign customers buy U.S.-built products because to them the prices seem low. When the dollar is strong, the reverse holds true.In the 1990s, several events changed the traditional patterns of how the United States conducts business overseas. The end of Soviet rule in Europe opened up the opportunity for engaging in much more trade with that major area of the world. In 1992 Western Europe achieved fuller economic integration,though many barriers remained (no tariff barriers ) to the free movement of goods among all nations. Inaddition, environmentalists in Europe are attempting to maintain restrictions on truck traffic so that more freight is forced to use rail and waterways.In Europe, pressure from the “Greens” (an environmental protection interestgroup) has caused truckers to use a ratings system, Euro I, Euro II, and Euro III, for their vehicles. Most new trucks are in the Euro II category, and soon there will be Euro III vehicles. “Austrians who have been particularly hurt by the transport problems relative to the size of their country, allow no truck traffic across the mountains to move at night other than vehicles in the Euro II category, which are perceived as running more silently than those classified as Euro I. Asa trucker in Austria, you have a choice of losing many hours or operating one of the newer, quieter, cleaner trucks.”Also in the mid-1990s, the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) came into being, and efforts are being made to achieve closer economic integration among Canada, the United States, and Mexico. A major problem appears to be granting Mexican trucks and truck drivers access to the United States.Although this paper is written from the standpoint of U.S.-based firms involved in international trade, another type of firm has recently developed, one that can locate almost anywhere in the world and engage in commerce with any and all nations. The term global logistics is more applicable to the logistical challenges of this type of firm. Many corporations can be considered multinational.Many degrees of involvement characterize global operations. A study of the world‟s auto industry presented several stages toward becoming global, with the ultimate stage being transregional. When “a company feels that it must integrate activities across the world in order to prioritize certain phenomenon ( economies of scale, geographic convergence of markets, etc. ), the configuration of a transregional company‟s geographical organization tends toward homogeneity. Different regions are construed to be spaces of specific competencies and, from the very outset; attempts are made to coordinate these spaces through a global approach to the company‟s activities and to its network of alliances. A world-wide range of products is sold in various markets.”There are many examples and descriptions of computer-based and internet-based applications that are revolutionizing the practices of logistics and supply chain management. Some international settings are just as advanced, others are not. Tradeinvolving North America, Western Europe, and parts of Asia utilizes computer and Internet applications as sophisticated as can be found anywhere, Internet usage for handling foreign logistics operations continues to increase. A survey of 77 large U.S. exporters in 2002 asked, “Which of the following export activities does your company plan to conduct online over the next three years?” Answer were export tracking, 69 percent; logistics coordination, 62 percent; transportation procurement, 47 percent; classifying products needed for calculating import duties, 39 percent; bill payment and settlement, 34 percent; and document delivery, 34 percent.As one looks at other parts of the world, the level of sophistication drops. As an extreme example, during relief efforts in Somalia during the 1990s, it was almost impossible for relief agencies to charter a ship small enough to enter into the silt-filled harbor of Mogadishu. Small ships those small were no longer available in the commercial market.Containerization is an important development in international commerce; handling at ports is faster, and door-to-door service can be provided. Containerized shipping is very important in routes between Asia and Europe, in the North Atlantic,between the United States and Europe, and in the Pacific between the United States and Asia. In the year 2000, five of the world‟s top six container-handling ports were in Asia: Hong Kong, Singapore, Kaoshiung, Pusan, and Shanghai. In other trading regions, especially those south of the Equator, containers are less important. The range of equipment and communication used in international supply chains varies widely. In a few areas of the world, some practices are no different from those of a half-century ago.2. International Marketing channelsIn marketing channels, there are various arrangements of buyers and sellers in interdependent channels, depending on their function at the time. When dealing with foreign markets and sources, sometimes different channel arrangements are employed. The firm must decide how much knowledge gained from domestic transactions is applicable when dealing overseas.The five channels are the ownership channel, the negotiations channel, the financing channel, the promotions channel, and the logistics channel. For international transactions, a sixth channel is added: the documentation channel. Documentation accompanying international shipments is excessive. In the 1980s,one shipment to Santiago, Chile, reportedly “required 150 separate documents”. Preparing these detailed documents, assembling them, and ensuring that they arrive where and when they are needed is no minor logistical operation. For small items such as repair parts, the envelope with the documents will be larger than the packaged part, and the costs of documentation will be greater than the part‟s value. International logistics involves a system in which documentation flows are as much a part of the main logistical flow as the flow of product, In the late 1990s, and airline‟s magazine said, “It still takes as long to process an air cargo shipment now as it did 26 years ago in a process which involves up to 36 separate handling functions, generating up to 16 individual documents.” One recent survey of exporters reported that “Export processes add nine percent to the cost of goods sold”.The following anecdote about Hyundai shows how some of the other channels relate to each other in an international setting. As Hyundai autos cross the ocean from Korea to U.S. ports, they are initially owned by Hyundai Motor America, which has purchased them from Hyundai Motor Company, and often two-thirds or more of a car carrier‟s capacity is sold electronically from a carrier vessel while it‟s at sea. At the port, “Hyundai‟s car preparation companies remove a protective coating from each vehicle and then accessor ize every auto with …PIOS‟, port-installed options. These include mud guards, arm rests, floor mats, side moldings, sun-roof wind deflectors, as well as air conditioning units slipped into prepared niches. ” Dealers receiving cars by truck pay for them electronically the moment they‟re delivered to the dealership. For those arriving by train, the dealer pays when the train arrives. In both situations the money is transferred di rectly to Korea to pay off Hyundai Motor America‟s debt to Hyundai Motor Company.Terms of SaleChoosing the terms of sale involves parties working within the negotiationschannel, looking at the possible logistics channels, and determining where and when to transfer the following between buyer and seller:(1) The physical goods (the logistics channel);(2) Payment for the goods, freight charges, and insurance for the in-transit goods (the financing channel);(3) Legal title to the goods (the ownership channel);(4) Required documentation (the documentation channel);(5) Responsibility for controlling or caring for the goods in transit, say, in the case of livestock ( the logistics channel).Transfer can be specified in terms of calendar time, geographic location, or completion of some task. One must think in terms of both time and location.For many years variety of selling terms evolved that was translated as terms of a seller‟s cost quotation. Each started w ith the product and added some additional service. The product and added services are listed in the following paragraphs, and, from the seller‟s viewpoint, they are the different locations, or stages, for quoting a price to an overseas buyer. They are referred to as Incoterms2000 because they were developed and published by the International Chamber of Commerce in the year 2000. Use of the terms is not mandatory, although one would need a very good reason to insist on some other terms. For each of the terms, the respective responsibilities of the seller‟s and the buyer‟s logistics managers change.EX-Works ( EXW)In this most basic transaction, the seller transfers all risk of loss and all responsibility for expenses to the buyer at the seller‟s loading do ck. In an EX-works transaction,goods are made avaiable for pickup at the seller‟s factory or warehouse. Example: EXW Toledo Incoterms2000.FCA ( Free Carrier)In this type of transaction, the seller is responsible for arranging transportation to a specific carrier at a named place. For example, a shipper (seller) located in Milwaukee may sell FCA Chicago. In this transaction, the seller arranges to deliver goods to an agreed-upon carrier in Chicago. The goods are “delivered” when they arereceipted by the buyer‟s carrier and all risk of loss transfers to seller at that point. Example: FCA Chicago Incoterms2000.FAS ( Free Alongside Ship)In this transaction, the seller must arrange for delivery, and assume all risks, up to the ocean carrier at a port. Unof ficial usage understands delivery to be “within reach of the ship‟s tackle”. Freight costs up to alongside vessel, risk of loss, and costs of export clearance are borne by the seller. Example: FAS Savannah Incoterms2000. FOB ( Free on Board)Incoterms limit the use of FOB to carriage by water and define the point of title transfer as occurring when the goods have passed over the ship‟s rail. In other words, freight to a vessel, loading aboard, and export clearance are the seller‟s responsibilities. Once the goods are loaded, the risk of loss and costs of transport revert to the buyer. (This term is also used in domestic trade, meaning the price at a specified location.) Example: FOB Rotterdam Incoterms2000.CFR ( Cost and Freight)The “cost” portion of CFR refers to the merchandise. The “freight” portion refers to all the freight, including export clearance, up to the foreign port of unloading. What is not included is cargo insurance from the port of loading. Indeed, risks are shared in a CFR transaction. T he seller must deliver over the ship‟s sail, so any loss up to that point is the seller‟s responsibility. Once loaded, the risk transfers to the buyer. This term is only used on waterborne shipments. Example: CFR Hong Kong Incoterms2000.CPT ( Carriage Paid to)This term is similar to CFR, but it can be used for any mode of transport, including air. CPT means that the seller will pay all freight costs all the way to the foreign port and that the buyer assumes all risk of loss beyond the loading port. Example: CPT Paris Incoterms2000.CIF ( Cost, Insurance, and Freight)A CIF transaction includes the costs of freight and the costs of insurance. The seller retains the risk of loss up to the foreign port of unloading. This term is used onwaterborne shipments. Example: CIF Miami Incoterms2000.CIP ( Carriage and Insurance Paid to )This term is similar to CIF except that it is primarily used in multimode transactions where the place receipt and place of delivery may be different from the port of loading or place of unloading. Example: CIP Zurich Incoterms2000.DES ( Deliver Ex Ship)In this type of transaction, the seller must pay all the costs and bear all the risks of transport up to the foreign port of unloading, except the cost or risk of unloading the cargo from the ship. In the case of large pieces of equipment, or bulk cargoes, the costs of unloading can exceed the cost of the main freight. Example: DES Long Beach Incoterms2000.DEQ ( Delivered Ex Quay)This is the same as DES except that the terms provide for the seller to pay the costs of unloading the cargo from the vessel and the cost of import clearance. Example: DES New York Incoterms2000.DAF ( Delivered at Frontier )In DAF the seller‟s responsibility is to deliver goods to a named frontier, wh ich usually means a border crossing point, and to clear the transaction for export. The buyer‟s responsibility is to arrange for pickup of the goods after they are cleared for export, to carry them across the border, to clear them for importation, and to pay any duties. Example: DAF Laredo Incoterms2000.DDP ( Delivered Duty Paid)This is a new term mainly used in intermodal transactions whereby the seller undertakes all the risks and costs from origin to the buyer‟s warehouse door, including export and import clearance and import customs duties. Essentially, the sellers pay everything in a DDP transaction and passes on all related costs in the merchandise price. Example: DDP Baltimore Incoterms2000.DDU ( Delivered Duty Unpaid)This is the same as DDP except that duty is not paid. Since the importer is generally better informed about local customs, a DDU transaction is used when thebuyer wants to avoid transportation and insurance issues. Example: DDU Milan Incoterms2000.Choice of currency in which payment is to be made can also be an issue, especially if the payment is to be made in the future. Barter may also be used, rather than cash. This may result in additional duties for the logistics manager because the goods received in payment have to be moved. Alexander Ageev, marketing chief for the Moscow Aviation Production Organization, which sells the MIG fighter aircraft, said that although Russia would prefer cash from the Philippines Air Force, competitive commodities can be converted into cash and help seal the deal. “So if Manila has bananas, we will consider them. In Malaysia, where we sold 18 MIG-29s, palm oil has been supplied in part payment of the coast.”国际物流1. 连接国内和国际物流现在联系越来越密切。
国际物流的概念
国际物流的概念
国际物流（International Logistics, 简称IL），是相对于国内物流而言的，就是发生在不同国家间的物流，具体指组织原材料、在制品、半成品和制成品在国与国之间的流动和转移。
对国际物流的理解分为广义和狭义两个方面。
广义的国际物流是指各种形式的货物在国与国之间的流入和流出，包括进出口商品、暂时进出口商品、转运货物、过境货物、捐赠货物、援助货物、加工装配所需货物、部件以及退货等在国与国之间的流动。
狭义的国际物流是指与另一国进出口贸易相关的物流活动，包括货物集运、分拨配送、货物包装、货物运输、申领许可文件、仓储、装卸、流通加工、报关、保险、单据等。
换句话说，当某国一企业出口其生产或制造的产品给另一国的客户或消费者时；或当该企业作为进口商从另一国进口生产所需要的各种原材料、零部件或消耗品时，为了消除生产者与需求者之间的时空差异，使货物从卖方的处所物理性地移动到买方处所，并较终实现货物所有权的跨国转移，国际物流的一系列活动就产生了。

【Para 4】the Disadvantage of Containers （集装箱的劣势）
Containers have a restricted application in inland transportation. Because containers on ships must be stacked, they must be sturdy in construction. In turn, this makes them heavy— too heavy for road transport since they unduly restrict payloads.

跨国物流的流程英语
跨国物流的流程英语The Process of International Logistics.International logistics refers to the efficient management and coordination of the flow and storage of goods, services, and related information between two or more countries. It involves several complex steps,including planning, transporting, storing, and distributing goods across international borders. Here is a detailed overview of the international logistics process:1. Planning:The planning stage is crucial in internationallogistics as it sets the foundation for the entire process. It involves identifying the specific requirements of the shipment, such as the type of goods, quantity, destination, and any special handling requirements. The logistics provider also needs to consider factors like transportation modes, customs regulations, tariffs, and potential risksinvolved in the shipment.2. Preparation of Documents:International shipments require a significant amount of documentation. This includes commercial invoices, packing lists, certificates of origin, and customs clearance documents. The logistics provider is responsible for ensuring that all these documents are prepared correctly and comply with the regulations of the importing and exporting countries.3. Transportation:The transportation stage involves selecting the most suitable mode of transport for the shipment, which could be air, ocean, road, or rail. The choice is determined by factors like the urgency of the delivery, cost, and the nature of the goods. The logistics provider arranges for the transportation, coordinates with carriers, and ensures that the shipment reaches its destination safely and on time.4. Customs Clearance:Customs clearance is a crucial step in international logistics. It involves submitting the necessary documentation to the customs authorities of the importing country, paying any applicable tariffs or duties, and obtaining the necessary permits or licenses for theshipment to enter the country. The logistics provider acts as a facilitator between the importer and the customs authorities, ensuring a smooth and timely clearance process.5.

国际物流的基本流程英文版The Basic Process of International LogisticsIntroduction:International logistics plays a crucial role in global trade by ensuring the smooth flow of goods, information, and funds across borders. It involves a comprehensive process that encompasses various activities, from transportation and warehousing to documentation and customs clearance. In this article, we will explore the fundamental steps involved in international logistics.1. Market Research and Planning:Before engaging in international logistics, market research is essential. This step involves identifying potential markets, analyzing customer demand, and evaluating the feasibility of exporting or importing goods. Market research helps companies understand the nuances of foreign markets, including cultural differences, regulatory requirements, and trade barriers.2. Order Processing:Once a company decides to engage in international trade, order processing begins. This step involves receiving purchase orders from customers, verifying product availability, and confirming terms and conditions of the transaction. Order processing also includes obtaining necessary permits, licenses, and certifications required for exporting or importing goods.3. Packaging and Labeling:Proper packaging and labeling are crucial in international logistics to ensure products are protected during transportation and to comply with regulatory requirements. Packaging materials should be durable and suitable for long-distance shipping. Additionally, labels must contain accurate information such as product descriptions, ingredients, country of origin, and barcodes for easy identification and tracking.4. Documentation:International logistics relies heavily on accurate documentation to facilitate the movement of goods across borders. Documents such as commercial invoices, packing lists, bills of lading, and certificates of origin are essential for customs clearance, transportation, and payment processing. Accurate and complete documentation reduces the risk of delays or penalties at customs checkpoints.5. Transportation:Transportation is a vital component of international logistics. It involves selecting the most suitable mode of transportation, whether by air, sea, road, or rail, based on factors such as cost, time sensitivity, and nature of the goods. Efficient coordination between logistics providers, carriers, and intermediaries ensures smooth transit and timely delivery of goods.6. Customs Clearance:Navigating through customs procedures and regulations is a critical process in international logistics. Customs clearance involves submitting the required documents, paying duties and taxes, and complying with import and export restrictions. Customs brokers or agents can assist companies inensuring compliance with customs regulations, thereby avoiding delays or penalties.7. Warehousing and Inventory Management:In international logistics, warehousing plays a crucial role in storing goods during transportation, facilitating order fulfillment, and managing inventory. Proper inventory management ensures that products are available when needed, avoiding stockouts or overstocking. Technological advancements such as inventory tracking systems and automated warehousing solutions aid in efficient warehousing operations.8. Distribution and Last-Mile Delivery:After goods are cleared through customs and stored in warehouses, the next step is distributing them to customers. Distribution channels, such as wholesalers, retailers, and e-commerce platforms, play a vital role in connecting products with end consumers. Last-mile delivery refers to the transportation of goods from the distribution center to the final destination, often involving local courier services or postal providers.9. Returns and Reverse Logistics:Managing returns and reverse logistics is an integral part of international logistics. In case of product defects, damages, or customer returns, companies need efficient processes to handle reverse logistics, including product retrieval, repair, replacement, or disposal. Effective management of returns contributes to customer satisfaction and enhances overall supply chain efficiency.Conclusion:International logistics involves a complex and interconnected process that enables the smooth flow of goods across borders. Through market research, order processing, transportation, customs clearance, and other essential steps, companies can navigate the challenges of international trade.
