With the international competition being fierce day by day, more and more enterprises begin to give their logistics operation to the professional logistics company in consideration of raising the efficiency and declining the cost. Third-party logistics enterprises arise at the historic moment. The globalization of Chinese economy will certainly require the internationalization of 3PL enterprises. The thesis discusses the internationalized development of Chinese 3PL enterprise from four aspects.The overview of Chinese 3PL enterprises' development3PL enterprise is a company that can offer integrated logistics service by making use of the resources from the party who can offer the logistics ability. The greatest difference between the 3PL enterprise and the traditional transport and storing company is that traditional company can only offer the single and disconnecting logistics service, while 3PL enterprise can offer systematic integrated value-added service, which can combine each element of logistics organically. The development of Chinese 3PL enterprises started at the beginning of 1990s. At present, the ability and market share of these enterprises is relatively small, and the network scale has not shaped yet. As to the range and function of the service offered, most 3PL enterprises rely mainly on basic logistics business, such as transport and storing. Value-added service such as processing, delivery is still at the stage of development. Reasons for the weakness of the value-added service are that the technical equipment of logistics enterprises is backward and the information technology such as Internet, Bar code can't get applied extensively.2.

In addition, international 3PL market expects much to value-added logistics service. The business scale and management level of the logistics enterprises in developed country is more suitable for this require. Obviously, a lot of obstacles and restriction factors exist in the internationalized development of Chinese 3PL enterprises. Enterprises with bad strength and small scale on the foreign investment take the majority in the market. Some factors will place 3PL enterprises on an unfavorable position in the international market competition, such as lack of logistics personnel, the laggard level of the service and management in Chinese enterprises. In addition, some factors will obviously restrict the process of the internationalization of Chinese 3PL enterprises in the macroscopical environment of the global logistics market, such as the obstacle of different system, market and competition barrier and financial barrier etc. 3. Case analysisIt is helpful to put forward the internationalized tactics according to our country's reality by analyzing the successful experience of some enterprises and use it for reference.
