cross-border shipping

Transnational package delivery

Cross-border shipping is the transport of goods from one country to another, involving customs clearance, import duties, and compliance with international trade regulations.

The term emphasizes the crossing of national boundaries rather than simply moving packages from point A to point B.

Online retailers and logistics companies use this phrase when discussing the complexities of delivering purchases internationally: Cross-border shipping adds several days to delivery time.

The fees for cross-border shipping can be substantial depending on the destination country.
