Global logistics refers to the planning, coordination, and management of the movement of goods, information, and resources across international borders through a network of suppliers, manufacturers, warehouses, ports, and distribution centers. It involves multiple transportation modes such as sea, air, rail, and road, as well as complex customs procedures, regulatory compliance, and cross-cultural coordination.
