The purpose of international express and domestic express is to deliver goods to the recipient. At the same time, there are great differences between international express delivery and domestic express delivery, such as the requirements for goods delivery, mileage, product packaging, etc. Next, let's look at the specific differences.

International Express Service

International express delivery refers to the express delivery and logistics business conducted between two or more countries (or regions). The delivery of letters, commercial documents and articles between countries (or regions) refers to the inspection and release of express mail through border ports between countries and customs. After the international express arrives at the destination country, it needs to be transshipped again in the destination country to deliver the express to the final destination.

Domestic Express

Domestic express delivery refers to the express delivery activities operating in China. China's express logistics industry is an important factor in the national economy and an important part of the national modernization. Therefore, the development and construction of the domestic express industry should be based on the overall situation, and large express logistics projects should be built to serve the people.

Differences between international express and domestic express

✔️Differences in environment

International express is a service for all countries and regions in the world, while domestic express is a logistics activity in China. The environment of the two is different. International express delivery needs to face transnational activities, which means different languages, national policies, jet lag, national customs, etc. The accidents that will occur are also unknown. At the same time, international express needs to go through the customs of the place of transportation and the customs of the destination.

Domestic express delivery is carried out in China, so there is little change in the environment.

✔️Differences in complexity

International express delivery has many complicated factors, such as long distance, long mileage, many links involved, customs declaration, and national language barrier. Therefore, transportation is more complicated than domestic express delivery, and different instructions and related documents need to be presented according to different national languages on the goods mailed.

Domestic express delivery involves few links, no language barriers, no customs clearance problems, so the transportation speed is relatively fast.

✔️Differences in transportation modes

International express includes air transportation, sea transportation, rail transportation and other transportation modes. International air transportation is the fastest logistics mode, and the cost of sea transportation and rail transportation is relatively low, so it is popular with cross-border e-commerce sellers and foreign trade merchants.

The transportation mode of domestic express is relatively simple, mainly truck based, supplemented by air transportation. There are few transfer links, fast timeliness, safety and stability.

✔️Differences in cargo restrictions

There are many restrictions on international express delivery of goods, mainly in two categories, sensitive goods and contraband goods. These include cosmetics, liquids, food, books, battery products, electronic products, etc., which are sensitive goods. There are certain restrictions on international transportation of such products, which require relevant information or specific logistics channels. Contraband refers to guns, dangerous chemicals and other goods, which are prohibited from transportation.
