en.Wedoany.com Reported - Best Inc. Cross-Border, a subsidiary of Best Inc., officially announced the launch of its South American market expansion at the second National Network Conference, marking a new phase in the company's entry into the global less-than-truckload (LTL) logistics network construction. In May of this year, the cross-border channel from China to Brazil was put into operation, with markets such as Mexico, Argentina, and Chile included in subsequent plans. After completing the cross-border network construction in six Southeast Asian countries, Best Inc. Cross-Border has entered its second three-year development cycle.

Founded in 2022, Best Inc. Cross-Border has focused over the past three years on building a cross-border network around the Southeast Asian market, refining products, and validating the end-to-end operational model. In the next phase, it will expand to South America and more overseas markets based on this foundation, driving global network construction.

In recent years, under the growth trend of cross-border e-commerce, stable delivery times, transparent information, and overseas fulfillment capabilities have become key criteria for overseas brands choosing cross-border logistics services. From its inception, Best Inc. Cross-Border chose to build an end-to-end network: domestically, it leverages Best Inc. Express's 21,000 service points, 58 cross-border collection windows, and two consolidation warehouses in Guangzhou and Yiwu to form a nationwide collection system; overseas, it utilizes the group's overseas warehouses and local express and LTL networks in Southeast Asia to create a warehousing and distribution network. By integrating domestic pickup, consolidation operations, customs declaration, international transportation, customs clearance, overseas warehousing, and last-mile delivery, Best Inc. Cross-Border has achieved full-process order traceability and built a comprehensive cross-border logistics service network covering Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, and the Philippines for Chinese brands. In the first half of 2026, Best Inc. Cross-Border's revenue grew 60% year-over-year; the number of users increased 13 times compared to 2023; and from July 2023 to February 2026, the peak daily container volume grew cumulatively by 380%.

After completing the Southeast Asian network construction, Latin America has become one of the fastest-growing e-commerce markets globally. According to eMarketer data, Latin American e-commerce retail sales are expected to reach $191.2 billion in 2025, a year-over-year increase of approximately 12.2%, higher than the global average growth rate. Brazil and Mexico are the largest consumer markets in the region and primary target markets for Chinese cross-border sellers. Deepening economic and trade exchanges between China and Latin America have driven logistics demand, requiring cross-border logistics networks to not only handle international transportation but also cover integrated services including warehousing, distribution, and local fulfillment. In May of this year, Best Inc. Cross-Border officially launched the China-to-Brazil cross-border channel, with routes to Mexico, Argentina, Chile, and other countries to be gradually advanced in the future. He Lin, Deputy General Manager of Best Inc. International and General Manager of Best Inc. Cross-Border, stated that Chinese companies view overseas markets as primary growth regions, and the value of cross-border logistics companies has extended to comprehensive capabilities serving global expansion. Best Inc.'s global network relies on the integrated capabilities of "domestic network + cross-border + overseas local," connecting domestic supply chains, international transportation, and overseas local services to provide end-to-end logistics assurance for overseas brands.

Alongside global network expansion, operational efficiency has become a competitive factor. At this conference, Best Inc. Cross-Border disclosed its AI application progress: AI agents have been involved in sales, operations, customer service, and other areas, handling tasks such as customer lead screening, quotation assistance, route resource allocation, and container loading optimization. In consolidation warehouses, AI is applied to cargo identification, dimension collection, storage location recommendations, and container loading optimization scenarios. Combined with smart hardware like DWS equipment and Bluetooth measuring tapes, the system automatically collects information and generates loading plans. Currently, Best Inc. Cross-Border's consolidation warehouse operation accuracy rate reaches 99.99%, cargo storage time is reduced by approximately 50%, warehouse efficiency has doubled, and risks of overseas customs clearance anomalies and returns have been lowered. In the future, Best Inc. Cross-Border will gradually deploy in regions such as North America, perfecting a global international LTL logistics network covering key markets including Southeast Asia and the Americas.

Best Inc. Cross-Border's expansion of its validated end-to-end operational model and network capabilities to the South American market marks a new phase in its globalization development. From Southeast Asia to South America, the company's expansion is based on accumulated experience in domestic pickup and collection networks, cross-border transportation, overseas warehouse deployment, localized operations, and digital system implementation, which will be adapted to local conditions.
