The aim of this research is to determine the efficiency of the international trade logistics network of nineteen of the APEC region by the year 2016. We work towards this goal using the methodology of the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) Network. In the instrumentation of the network, two nodes are considered; in the first one, the inputs are the infrastructure and the transport services, and the outputs are considered to be the logistics services, the costs and the execution time. The outputs of the first node constitute the inputs of the second, while the outputs of the second node are the volume and value of exports. The results show that none of the countries studied were efficient in their international trade logistics network. The six countries with the highest scores during the review period were China with 0.65, Vietnam with 0.56, Peru with 0.35, Russia with 0.35, Republic of Korea with 0.33 and Singapore with 0.32.
