What is international logistics pipeline?
The entire chain of storage facilities and transportation links through which supplies move from manufacturer to consumer, including port facilities, the central warehouse, regional warehouses, district warehouses, all service delivery points, and transport vehicles.
What elements increase distribution cost in international logistics?
Management of logistics is a key factor for satisfying demand in international markets.
Collaboration among companies involved in the same supply chain also helps to optimise resources, minimise the need for stock, and reduce supply times through the use of cross trade operations, for example by applying logistical optimisation systems like lean manufacturing.
THE MODE OF TRANSPORT: maritime, air, road, and railway.
What are the key factors for effective outbound strategy?
1. Identify Opportunities You most likely have information customers would value even if they aren’t asking about it, such as appointment reminders, membership renewals, or bills that are almost due.
2. Determine Delivery Methods Once you’ve identified proactive outreach opportunities, the next step is to determine the most appropriate method of delivery.
3. Establish a Compliance Practice One of the most important considerations often overlooked when implementing an outbound solution is developing a compliance and risk management strategy. There are a number of legal requirements that must be understood and taken into account.
4. Engage all Stakeholders Proactive outreach projects normally involve a number of functional groups within an organisation. While there may be a business unit that has the underlying need and that will guide setting the requirements for the project, it is important to consider all of the groups who will be touched by the final solution.
5. Develop Comprehensive Procedures Successful outbound campaigns comprise a complex web of interdependent parts. It is important to develop a clearly defined process along with procedures to ensure that all of your outbound requirements have been taken into account.

The direction of China’s trade has followed three major patterns since the 1930s. Prior to World War II, Japan, Hong Kong, the United States, and the United Kingdom together made up about three-fourths of the total trade volume. With the founding of the PRC in 1949, trade shifted in favor of the former USSR and Eastern Europe.
In recent years, as China has rapidly enlarged its role on the international market, the importance of Hong Kong as an entrepot and major source of revenue has increased. In 1992, Hong Kong accounted for close to 35% of China’s total trade (up from about 21% in 1986). Hong Kong reverted to Chinese rule in 1998, but because of its enormous trade activity, Hong Kong’s trade is often measured separate from China.
