International express is used to provide door-to-door service, including pick-up, customs clearance and from customs clearance service to delivery to the consumer. It is highly suitable for small parcels, documents or valuable goods that need international transportation.
In recent years, the development of international express in China has been very rapid and is growing more and more every year at a very fast speed. So that international express companies have no time to add outlets in Chinese cities to increase the service window. And are getting far from meeting the needs of export foreign trade enterprises. The Chinese market has also become an important area that international express companies cannot ignore.
With the development of electronic commerce, international express also monopolised the market by being the traditional fourth big express. And it gradually appeared in the direction of Chinese local domestic express so it can enter the international market.
The difference between international express and domestic express
The International express is more of a broad way to do transportation in and out of the country and plays a major role in the import and export of cargo. But the domestic is just to transport goods within the country. To look at their differences in more details look at below:
- International express is a kind of logistics service that handles the transportation of goods between the states and the countries, and the domestic express is only a way of logistics to transport goods from door to door within the territory of China.
- International express parcel exports need to declare export to the customs of the country of export. And the destination country needs to apply for entry to the destination customs. Moreover, the different products need to provide specific import and export documents, such as the "packing list" and "commercial invoice". Domestic express is very straightforward and simple; it only needs to fill in a courier face list.
- The mode of transportation is rather different in both. The international express is done through different means of transports like a truck pickup, air transport, truck delivery etc. But the domestic express is done with just one type of transportation, and that is the truck.
