What are the differences between international logistics and domestic logistics

International logistics differs from domestic logistics in terms of logistics environment, logistics system, information system, and standardization requirements. The main service objects of international logistics are international trade and cross-border operations. A very important characteristic of international logistics is the difference in logistics environment, where the logistics environment mainly refers to the soft environment of logistics. Different countries have different laws that are suitable for logistics, which increases the complexity of international logistics; The technological development levels of different countries and economies place international logistics under different technological conditions, and even lead to a decline in the overall operational level of international logistics due to the inability of some regions to apply certain technologies; The different standards of different countries will make it difficult for the international logistics system to establish a unified standard; The national characteristics of different countries inevitably limit international logistics.

Due to the differences in logistics environments, an international logistics system is forced to operate in multiple different legal, cultural, customary, linguistic, and technological environments, which undoubtedly greatly increases the difficulty and complexity of international logistics operations.
