Foreign trade import and export transportation types

There are many types of foreign trade import and export transportation. There are three types of transportation: road transportation, inland water transportation, and postal transportation. These three types are more popular for Yiwu business owners than other foreign trade import and export transportation types. It is because their transportation costs and transportation safety are relatively more in line with the needs of both the shipper and the transporter!

Specifically introduce the common types of foreign trade import and export transportation:

(1) Road transport Road transport (roadtransportation) is a modern mode of transport. It can not only directly transport or transport foreign trade goods, but also an important means of collecting and importing goods at stations, ports and airports.

(2) Inland water transport (inlandwater transport) is an important part of water transport. It is the link connecting the inland hinterland with the coastal areas and plays an important role in transporting and distributing imported and exported goods.

(3) Parcel postal transport (parcelposttransport) is a relatively simple mode of transport. There are agreements and contracts between the postal services of various countries. Through these agreements and contracts, mail parcels of various countries can be transmitted to form an international parcel transportation network. Because international parcel transportation has the nature of international multimodal transport and “door to door” transportation, in addition, the procedures are simple and the cost is not high, so it has become one of the modes of transportation commonly used in international trade.
