In global trade, the choice of international logistics transportation methods directly affects the efficiency of product delivery, cost control, and market competitiveness. Different transportation methods have their own advantages and are suitable for the cross-border transportation needs of different types of products. Especially for categories such as chemicals, building materials, and industrial consumables, choosing the right type can effectively ensure the safety and delivery time of goods.

Ocean shipping is a widely used transportation method in international logistics, relying on the global port network to cover most trade routes. It is suitable for large-volume and heavy-weight industrial products, such as insulation boards and bulk chemical raw materials, and has the characteristics of large transportation capacity and controllable costs, which can meet the cross-border transportation needs of large quantities of goods. However, its disadvantage is that the transportation cycle is relatively long, and it is necessary to plan the procurement cycle in advance. 

Air transportation, with its advantages of efficiency and speed, has become the preferred choice for products with high timeliness requirements. For high-value-added industrial consumables and precision chemical components, air transportation can significantly shorten the delivery cycle, reduce the costs of goods storage and capital occupation, and at the same time reduce the risk of loss during transportation. However, air transportation costs are higher than other methods, and it has certain restrictions on the weight and volume of the goods, making it suitable for small-batch and urgent cargo transportation. 

Land transportation is mainly applicable for cross-border transportation between adjacent countries and regions, including two forms: road and railway. Road transportation is highly flexible and can achieve door-to-door delivery, suitable for short-distance and small-batch industrial product transportation; railway transportation takes into account both cost and timeliness, and is suitable for medium and long-distance, large-batch cargo transportation. It is particularly frequently used in trade along the Eurasian Continental Bridge and can connect sea transportation and air transportation to form a comprehensive transportation link. 

Multimodal transport integrates two or more modes of transportation and optimizes the link design by combining the advantages of various transportation methods. For example, models such as sea transportation + land transportation, air transportation + road delivery, etc., can avoid the shortcomings of a single mode of transportation and provide customized transportation solutions for industrial products. They also take into account cost, timeliness and safety, and have become a gradually popular transportation form in cross-border trade. 

Enterprises should, based on factors such as product characteristics, delivery requirements, and cost budget, select the appropriate international logistics transportation methods. At the same time, they should carry out link planning and risk prevention to ensure the smooth conduct of cross-border trade.
