| Logistics Performance Index (LPI) is the simple average of the country scores on the seven key dimensions: |
 | Efficiency and effectiveness of the clearance process by Customs and other border control agencies; |
| Quality of Transport and IT infrastructure for logistics; |
| Ease and affordability of arranging shipments; |
| Competence in the local logistics industry (e.g., transport operators, customs brokers); |
| Ability to track and trace shipments; |
| Domestic logistics costs (e.g., local transportation, terminal handling, warehousing); and |
| Timeliness of shipments in reaching destination. |
| The index is constructed using the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) method in order to improve the confidence intervals. The scorecards demonstrate comparative performance - the dimensions shown on a scale from 1 to 5 relevant to the possible Comparison groups – all countries (World), region and income groups. |
