When delivering goods to Amazon's fba warehouse, we will find that there are three logistics methods we can use: express delivery, air transportation and sea transportation. Among them, express direct flight and air transport are cargo planes as means of transport, but there are big differences between them. What are the differences?
1. Direct delivery mode
Express direct delivery refers to the logistics channel directly to Amazon warehouse, which is based on the express channels of DHL, Fedex and UPS International Express. Usually, it can fly directly from the mainland/Hong Kong to the designated Amazon warehouse.
2. Air transportation mode
Air transport, also known as air plus dispatch, is a combined form of air plus terminal dispatch. The first air transport is a logistics service provider, and the final delivery is the responsibility of another service provider.

3、 Differences in customs clearance methods
1. Express direct customs clearance
Express direct delivery is built through various channels. Generally, it does not provide customs clearance services. Usually, it uses the natural customs clearance mode to clear goods. In some countries with low threshold and high value goods, the shipper needs to find ways to solve the problem of customs clearance of goods.
2. Customs clearance by air
Air transportation usually provides double clearance services, including export customs declaration, customs clearance of destination country, and customs duty collection, which are in the charge of a special customs clearance bank. If it is a duty-free channel, the shipper is not required to pay the tariff
