In the context of globalization and digitalization, the relationship between information technology, international logistics performance and high-quality development of foreign trade has garnered increasing attention. This study constructs a Structural Equation Model (SEM) to analyse the impact mechanism of information technology on international logistics performance and high-quality development of foreign trade, while exploring the mediating role of international logistics performance between information technology and high-quality development of foreign trade. The findings reveal that information technology has significantly enhanced international logistics performance by optimizing key indicators such as logistics service quality, cargo tracking capability, customs clearance efficiency, timely transportation of goods, logistics infrastructure quality, and international transportation with competitive price, thereby promoting high-quality development of foreign trade. Furthermore, the various dimensions of international logistics performance play a significant mediating role between information technology and high-quality development of foreign trade.
