In international logistics, the selection of international air transport, international sea transport, international land transport need to consider a number of factors, such as the nature of the goods, weight, volume, age, cost, destination, safety and so on. Here are some guiding suggestions:

Cargo nature factors:

Some goods such as inflammable goods, explosive goods, dangerous goods need special attention, need to choose a mode of transport in line with the corresponding transport standards and regulations.

Weight and volume factors:

Large quantities of goods can be shipped by sea, smaller goods can be shipped by air or land.

Prescription factors:

If the goods are time-sensitive and need to reach the destination quickly, it is recommended to choose air or land transportation, but sea transportation is slower and takes more time.

Cost factor:

To choose the right mode of transportation, it is necessary to consider the cost factors of different modes, including the value of the goods, transportation costs, tariffs and taxes, etc. Comparatively speaking, the price of air transportation will be much more expensive.

Destination factor:

Whether the transportation destination is a city or a remote area and whether the transportation is convenient will also affect the decision of choosing the transportation mode.

Safety factors:

The safe transport of goods is a crucial factor, requiring the selection of modes of transport that meet safety standards and the selection of reliable transport companies or freight forwarding companies for cooperation.

Transportation distance factor:

The distance you travel can also affect your decision on the mode of transport, with long distances often preferable to sea or air transport.

Seasonal factors Factors:

Some seasonal factors such as climate and weather may also affect the choice of transportation mode. For example, some countries may experience bad weather in winter, when shipping may be safer.

Demand factor:

If large quantities of goods are needed, shipping by sea may be a more cost-effective option, while air freight may be more expensive.

Traceability factors:

Some international freight needs to be traceable, especially for some high-value goods. There are tracking systems for both air and sea freight, but less for land freight.

The final selection of the appropriate international logistics transportation mode requires comprehensive consideration according to the actual situation, and with the assistance of freight forwarders, the optimal scheme is determined.
