With the continuous development of internet technology and the gradual maturity of the global e-commerce market, the transaction volume of cross-border e-commerce is also increasing, providing global consumers with more product choices and price advantages. However, cross-border e-commerce enterprises face many challenges, one of the most prominent being cross-border logistics. First of all, fast and accurate order processing and management are the core of cross-border logistics. With the continuous growth of order volume, its processing method needs to adapt to changes quickly and inventory and delivery information needs to be updated in a timely manner. In addition, due to different customs regulations between countries, various regulations and agreements such as customs clearance procedures and bonded warehouses need to be considered in the cross-border logistics process. Secondly, the integrity and security of the global logistics system is another issue. Cross-border logistics involves real-time monitoring, insurance, and protection of transported goods to reduce losses caused by cargo damage, disaster risks, and theft. Therefore, cargo safety and delivery time are one of the important factors determining the success or failure of cross-border e-commerce companies. Third, cross-border logistics also faces challenges of cross-cultural differences. In different countries and regions, people have different requirements for product types, standards, and quality, so appropriate logistics strategies need to be formulated based on marketing regional demands. Cross-border e-commerce companies also need to consider language and cultural differences, as well as issues such as customs duties and tax rates. Finally, warehousing, distribution costs, and infrastructure are also challenges that companies face. In order to ensure that cross-border logistics can proceed smoothly, companies need to establish logistics centers around the world, integrate processes, improve efficiency, and reduce costs. At the same time, stable and reliable infrastructure and logistics networks are also important factors. In summary, with the further development of the global cross-border e-commerce market, cross-border e-commerce has further expanded the range of choices and preferential prices for global consumers, but cross-border logistics is still a huge and complex task that requires cross-border e-commerce companies to highly value and coordinate various resources for control.
