Logistics Features
1. Environmental differences
A very important feature of international logistics is the differences in the logistics environment of various countries, especially the differences in the logistics soft environment. Different laws applicable to logistics in different countries make the complexity of international logistics much higher than that of a country domestic logistics, and even block international logistics; different economic and technological development levels in different countries will cause international logistics to be under the support of different technological conditions, and even Some regions cannot apply certain technologies at all, thus forcing the decline of the level of the whole international logistics system; different standards in different countries also cause difficulties in international "integration", thus making it difficult to establish an international logistics system; the customs and humanities of different countries also make international logistics difficult. greatly limited.
Due to the differences in the logistics environment, an international logistics system needs to operate in several environments with different laws, humanities, customs, languages, technology and facilities, which will undoubtedly greatly increase the difficulty of logistics and the complexity of the system.
2. Wide range of systems
The functional elements of the logistics itself, the communication between the system and the outside world are very complex. International logistics adds elements of different countries to this complex system. This is not only a vast area and a vast space, but also involves more internal and external factors. The immediate consequence of the wider scope is increased difficulty and complexity, and increased risk.
Of course, it is precisely because of this that once the international logistics is integrated into the modern system technology, its effect is more significant than before. For example, after the opening of a "land bridge", the speed of international logistics will be doubled and the benefits will increase significantly, which shows this.
