The world of cross-border e-commerce logistics has significantly transformed in recent years. The increasing unpredictability of global trade has amplified the challenges within cross-border e-commerce logistics, particularly in the United States, the largest import market globally. Businesses are faced with the task of navigating a dynamic environment, addressing various complexities and fragmentation while contending with heightened competition from customs clearance to last-mile delivery.

Despite the substantial opportunities presented by cross-border e-commerce, recent years have witnessed remarkable growth in transaction volumes. For instance, in 2023, the De Minimis threshold alone exceeded 1 billion, reflecting a 50% increase from the previous year. Companies operating in this sector, notably in the US market, are encountering notable logistical and operational obstacles that necessitate effective management. The key lies in adaptability and the ability to innovate, enabling companies to proactively address challenges and maintain a competitive edge.

The topic to be covered the YunExpress's achievements in cross-border e-commerce logistics since its establishment in 2014. With a global reach, the company has navigated customs challenges and last-mile delivery successfully, establishing itself as a significant player in Asia Pacific, Europe, and notably in the Americas. YunExpress embodies adaptability and success in the dynamic industry landscape.
