As a business manager in an international logistics company, I understand the importance of new employee training, especially in understanding and mastering the cost and process of quoting through self-operated channels. Below are the main topics covered in our training:

1.Analysis of Self-operated Channel Quoting Costs:We first delve into the cost structure of quoting through self-operated channels. This involves various costs incurred throughout the entire transportation process from China to the destination country (such as the United States), including port loading fees, transportation costs, destination port unloading fees, destination country customs clearance fees, etc. By understanding the costs at each stage, new employees can better formulate pricing strategies and effectively communicate with clients.

2.Calculation of Sea Freight Costs to the United States:We focus on introducing the method of calculating sea freight costs from China to the United States. This involves freight charges, bill of lading fees, terminal handling charges, etc. New employees need to understand how to calculate the most reasonable transportation costs based on factors such as the volume, weight, and destination port of the goods, and adjust pricing according to market competition.

3.Full Container Load (FCL) to Door Process:We provide a detailed overview of the FCL to door transportation process, including container loading, sea transportation, destination customs clearance, and final delivery. New employees need to understand the responsibilities and processes of each stage to ensure that goods arrive safely and on time to the client.

4.Calculation of Tax-Inclusive and Tax-Exclusive Sea Freight Prices to the United Kingdom:We explain the difference between tax-inclusive and tax-exclusive prices for sea freight to the United Kingdom, and guide new employees on how to calculate the optimal quotation based on client needs and actual situations. This involves factors such as import taxes, tariffs, value-added taxes in the UK, requiring new employees to have a certain level of calculation ability and tax knowledge.

5.Calculation of Non-Exclusive Air Freight Costs to the United States:Finally, we introduce the method of calculating costs for non-exclusive air freight to the United States. This includes transportation charges from airlines, fuel surcharges, etc. New employees need to understand the characteristics of air freight and the pricing mechanism to provide accurate quotations and advice to clients.

Through these training topics, new employees can gain a comprehensive understanding of the cost and process of quoting through self-operated channels in international logistics, enhance their professional abilities, and contribute more to the company's business development.
