教学重点:

2、Components of international logistics management
3、Trade terms and international insurance
4、Various international logistics intermediaries
教学过程:
1.New Words and Expressions
2.International Trade and International Logistics
The movement of goods across national boundaries
1)Historical Development of International Logistics
International logistics evolved into the art and science of determining eminently concrete aspects of business arrangement, from transportation and packaging, to warehousing and inventory management.2)Definition of International Logistics
International logistics is the process of planning, implementing and controlling the flow and storage of goods, services and information from the point of origin to a point of consumption(revised to between, since there is reverse logistics)located in a different country.International logistics is actually about moving and exchanging goods across borders to promote world economic development and optimal allocation of world resources by utilizing international logistics network, facilities and technology based on the principle of international division of labors and collaboration and international practices.The ultimate objective is to get the right goods or services to the right place located in a different country, at the right time, lowest cost, minimum risk, and in the desired condition, by selecting the best way and method, while making the greatest contribution to the firm and the world as a whole.3)Features of International Logistics
a)Difference in environment, higher risks
b)Complex ways of transport
c)Advanced information system
d)Standardization requirement
4)Government’s Interest in International Logistics
a)Economic importance
Cost of insurance and transport always accompany import and export, and they are service imported or exported.b)National defense concerns
Transportation gave countries ability to project power domestically, regionally, and globally.It strengthened the economy by promoting trade that further improved the military powers.c)Government support for its international carriers
Developing countries use their own carriers as a rate equalizer to avoid being exploited by the more developed countries and keep abreast of transport technology.Cabotage technically does not involve international trade but it should be mentioned.It is a worldwide practice and it means the each nation reserves for its own carriers the exclusive rights to carry domestic traffic.3.Components of International Logistics Management
1)International Transportation
International transportation is eminently more complicated, involving different modes of transportation, different carriers, different transportation documents, and much greater transit times.Its inherent risks and hazards are also much more significant. Transport regulation
The purpose of regulation is to ensure that transportation services are provided adequately and that users of these services are protected from excessive prices or unfair practices. Cargo preference
Preference cargos are the single most important incentive for U.S.-flag operators in the international trade to remain under U.S.registry.The cargo preference laws provide a vital base of cargo to help offset foreign-flag advantages. Nondiscrimination
Nondiscrimination is a legal concept designed to protect competition and fair business practice.In terms of international transportation, it means two things.A carrier cannot charge different prices for similarly situated shippers, and they cannot refuse service to any shipper. Cabotage
Shipping cargo between two points in the same country is known as cabotage. Equipment balance
When there is the same amount of cargo going in both direction of a trade lane(trade balance), there will be the same amount of equipment going in both directions of that trade lane, this is called equipment balance.2)International Insurance
a)The principal perils
Free From Particular Average(F.P.A.) With Average(W.A.) All Risks
b)Exclusions

4)Terms of Payment
International means of payment are more involved, with the risks of nonpayment and currency fluctuation calling for specific strategies that are never used in domestic transactions.Non-payment risk is higher in international transactions for: less credit information is available lack of personal contact: no way to evaluate the character of the importer collections are difficult and expensive no easy legal recourse: there is no court with jurisdiction over international disputes mistrust
a)Cash in Advance
In a Cash in Advance transaction, the exporter requests that the customer provide payment in advance, before the shipment of the goods can take place.Payment is usually made with an electronic SWIFT fund transfer from the customer’s bank to the exporter’s bank. Buyers in an area of instability Buyer has bad credit Exchange rate control Goods are made to order Buyer’s market
b)Open account
The exporter just sends an invoice to the importer along with the shipment and trusts the customer to pay within a reasonable amount of time.Just opposite to Cash in Advance.c)Documentary collection
It is a process by which an exporter asks a bank to “safeguard” its interests in the foreign country by not releasing the documents(B/L)until the importer satisfies certain requirements, most often paying the exporter(D/P)or signing a financial document(a draft)promising that it will pay the exporter within a given amount of time(acceptance)(D/A).d)Letters of credit
A L/C is a conditional payment commitment of the bank in addition to commercial credit that it will pay the “beneficiary” upon the presentation of certain documents.The exporter and the importer agree on a sale under “Letter of Credit” terms. The importer/buyer applies for an LC from bank. The importer’s bank(issuing bank)issues a LC and sends it to the exporter’s bank(notification bank) The Notification bank notifies the exporter that an L/C was issued, and it is OK to ship the goods to the importer.The notification bank should check a number of things: L/C is drawn on a legitimate bank, content meets requirement, irrevocable L/C. The exporter ships the goods and gives documents to Notification bank. The Notification bank checks that the documents match the requirements of the LC, and sends them to the Issuing bank.Issuing bank verifies that the documents match the requirements of the LC and notifies the importer that everything is in order. The issuing bank pays seller and buyer pays issuing bank.5)Trade Terms

6)Customs and Customs Clearance
a)What does Customs do
National security is a broad area that refers mostly to military threats. Revenue collection by customs is the source of funds for the country.
Managed trade and competitiveness refer to policies to promote the nation’s economy. Gray making importing, also known as parallel importing, refers to the practice of importing a product contrary to the wishes of the producer, who normally has their official distributor. Protecting national interests is the catchall for any goal the nation wishes to pursue.b)How does Customs operate
Entry restriction-certain products may be completely restricted from entry, or only under certain conditions.Rates-duties vary dramatically.Most are simply a nominal tax, while other are intended to discourage imports of a certain product.Information-Customs requires that certain information be provided on imports and exports.Government data on economic trends is collected this way.Another reason for submitting information is to control the import/export of some products.7)Inventory Management
Major international inventory issues are longer performance cycle, more in-transit inventory, border crossings, more complex location decisions, more shrinkage and more safety stock.4.International Logistics Infrastructure
1)Free Trade Zone
A Free Trade Zone is, for Customs purposes, still “outside” of the country;goods can be shipped to the FTZ without being subject to duty and quotations.Once in the FTZ, the goods can be transformed, assembled, repackaged, and so on.If the goods are re-exported, they never pay duty in the host country in which the FTZ is located;if they are sold in the host country, it is only after leaving the FTZ that they have to pay duty.The main reasons for using FTZ
Delay tariff Avoid tariffs before shipment Processing Correct mistakes Sell
Merchandise in a FTZ may be stored, repackaged, repaired, tested, relabeled, displayed as well as manufactured, assembled, salvaged and destroyed.2)Ports
A port is the intersection of different modes of transport.Factors that influence the competitiveness of ports:
Location in relation to markets Location in relation to its competitors Inland connections Infrastructure and technology Accessibility to the trade lane Management
Most ports are run by a commission assigned by a local or regional government, called port authority.Types of port authorities:
Landlord port: the landlord port is one in which the port owns and manages infrastructure, and private parties mange everything else. Tool port: the port also owns the superstructures, but private parties rent assets through concessions or licenses. Service port: the service port is where the port has completed ownership and management. Privately owned port
5.International Logistics Intermediaries and Logistics Alliances
Intermediaries refer to many companies or individuals that facilitate trade.Some of them work for shippers, some for carriers, and some for consignees.Sometimes these arrangements become more elaborate, such as alliances.1)Main International Logistics Intermediaries/Facilitators
International Logistics Intermediaries function as third-party logistics providers, firms that provide outsourced or “third party” logistics services to companies for part, or sometimes all of their supply chain management functions.Third party logistics providers typically specialize in integrated operation, warehousing and transportation services that can be scaled and customized to customer’s needs based on market conditions and the demands and delivery service requirements for their products and materials.Types of International Logistics Intermediaries or facilitators:
International freight forwarder is an individual or a company that books or otherwise arranges space for shipments between countries via common carriers. Customs brokers are private individuals, partnerships, associations or corporations licensed, regulated and empowered by Customs to assist importers and exporters in meeting national requirements governing imports and exports. Non-vessel Operating Common Carriers(NVOCC)buy space from carriers and resell them.NVOCCs essentially act as if they were a carrier, but they do not own or control any of the ships, planes, etc. Export Trading Company(ETC)and Export Management Company(EMC)assist companies in marketing their product in other countries.2)International Logistics Alliances
In logistics, at least as much as any other industry, there has been a strong trend toward alliances in order to promote efficiency.Criteria of a good match:
