Analysis of FBA sea freight types and their advantages and disadvantages

People engaged in foreign trade must be very familiar with the meaning and characteristics of FBA sea transportation, but ordinary people are not familiar with it, or even have heard of it. FBA sea freight is a logistics model that delivers goods to Amazon warehouses through sea transportation, which can be divided into two methods: sea freight acceleration and sea freight plus card. What are the differences and characteristics of these two FBA logistics models? Let's take a closer look together.

FBA sea freight acceleration refers to the logistics method of delivering goods to Amazon warehouses through sea transportation and express delivery, which supports double clearance and inclusive tax. The FBA sea freight plus truck refers to the transportation of goods by sea to the port, then by train to the destination city, and then by truck to the Amazon warehouse. This method only includes double clearing but does not include taxes, and customs duties need to be paid according to the tax receipt. Regardless of the type of FBA, it must go through the process of packaging and container loading, customs declaration and export, sea transportation, foreign customs clearance, Amazon warehouse reservation, and delivery to Amazon warehouse.

Most people choose the FBA sea freight method to deliver goods to Amazon warehouses, because this logistics method has the following advantages: firstly, the transportation cost is cheap, as there are a large number of goods on the entire ship, so the transportation cost allocated to each product is relatively low, and the basic cost is a few yuan; Secondly, it is very suitable for heavy cargo or dumping. The size of the container is large, and many larger or heavier goods can be transported in this way. However, if FBA sea freight is chosen, one must endure its drawbacks. The time required for sea freight is relatively long, which may affect Amazon's cargo warehousing time.
