An International express agent refers to a company or organization acting as an intermediary to act as an intermediary for customers to carry out international express business, including receiving goods from customers and arranging transportation and customs clearance procedures.

- How to choose an international express agent
Here are some ways to find an international courier agent:
1). Search for reliable international express companies on the Internet, such as DHL, FedEx, UPS, etc., and check their official websites to learn about the services they provide, prices, and shipping times.
2). Seek recommendations on social media platforms: You can ask friends, family, or others on social media platforms if they know of reliable international courier agents. Also, look for relevant groups or forums to seek advice and suggestions from others.

3. Then, how is the international express delivery calculated?
The cost of international express generally includes the following aspects:
- Basic freight
The freight charged by the courier company, including the starting price and weight pricing.
- Fuel surcharge
Since the international express business requires transportation such as aviation and automobiles, the fuel surcharge is an unavoidable fee; this is calculated according to the distance you transport and the transportation you choose.
- Customs clearance fee
The courier company needs to help customers complete customs clearance procedures so that a certain customs clearance fee will be charged; because the import fee of each country is different, the price is also paid according to the price stipulated by the country.
- Tariffs
If the items sent by the customer need to pay customs duties, the courier company may pay and charge relevant fees on its behalf. This is also different for each country, and it is paid in accordance with the fees stipulated by the country.
- Additional charges
For example, special circumstances such as weight exceeding the standard and volume being too large will result in additional charges.
In addition, there are special service fees, such as next-day service, insurance service, etc., and customers can choose to pay according to their needs.
When your LED display arrives in your hands, the international courier company or agent will also sort out all the cost details of your courier and hand it over to you so that you can see where every money is spent.
4. Three major ways to deliver international expression
With the increase in LED display export business, there are more transportation methods. Each method has its advantages and is suitable for customers with different needs. Let’s take a detailed look at these three transportation methods.
- Sea Freight
Shipping, as the name suggests, is to transport the LED display to the port of the customer’s country by cargo ship. Its advantage is that the price is relatively affordable, and there are not too many requirements for the weight of the LED display. 90% of the customers choose the shipping method, but sea shipping. The only disadvantage is that the delivery time may be relatively long, so it is not recommended to choose this if you are in a hurry.
1). Two types of shipping:
When shipping LED displays by sea, customers can choose two modes of transportation, FCL or LCL. As for the cost, it depends on the shipping company’s quotation and the volume of your goods.
1-1). FCL: The large LED display is transported in a complete cabin, but the safety of the goods can be guaranteed.
1-2). LCL: It is to mix the goods of multiple customers in the same cabin for transportation.
2). Calculation of sea freight：
This is determined according to the quotation of the shipping company. Sometimes there may be discounts for FCL goods in some countries so that FCL will be cheaper than LCL, and sometimes FCL will be more expensive than LCL, so the price fluctuates. But the tariff is set by the country; you can check it on the national import and export website; if you want to know the freight price, you can ask the express company to make an estimation table.
3). How long does it usually take to ship by sea?
It usually takes more than a month for an LED display to be shipped by sea. Customers need to book flights in advance and keep in touch with logistics companies to ensure the goods can reach their destinations on time.
- Air freight
Air freight is the second most popular international express delivery method. Usually, customers who are more anxious to use LED displays will choose to use air freight, but air freight has certain requirements for the packaging size of LED displays. The cost is also more expensive than sea freight. But its high efficiency and speed greatly shorten the delivery time.
1). Several major processes of air freight:
1-1). Please go through the customs clearance process at the airport of the country where the LED display supplier is located, and transport it to the plane.
1-2). Fly from the country where the LED display supplier is located to the nearest airport to the customer.
1-3). The import process is carried out at the airport of the customer’s country and then delivered to the customer’s door by the agreed large truck.
2). Air freight details：
LED display air freight costs are divided into three parts:
2-1).Import duties and other taxes: This is the cost from the exporting country to the destination, usually including customs duties, value-added tax, consumption tax, etc.
2-2). Air freight: including logistics costs from the departure country to the destination country, cargo loading and unloading costs, etc.
2-3). Other expenses: including packaging fees, insurance fees, domestic and international logistics agency fees, etc.
3). How long does it usually take to ship the LED display by air?
Usually, the time for air transportation is relatively short, but it will still change according to the distance of the supplier in each country. For example, the supplier is in China. If there is a direct flight, it usually takes 2-3 days. If you need to transfer, you may. It takes about a week, and it may take about 7-10 days for countries farther away.
- International railway transportation
International railway transportation is generally the choice of customers in adjacent countries. International railway transportation can provide fast freight transportation and greatly shorten the cycle of cargo transportation. Compared with sea and air transportation, international railway transportation is more stable and reliable, avoiding logistics delays caused by weather and other reasons and ensuring the punctual arrival of LED displays. But if you want international railway transportation, you must meet one condition, that is, there is a direct railway, so not many people choose it.
خاتمة
Each mode of transportation has its own advantages and applicable groups. So there is no best, only suitable for you, before choosing, you can communicate with your international express agent about your ideas and the time you want to receive the goods, and they will give you a plan that suits you.
