Drug trafficking routes are typically divided into four categories: coastal, air, land, and transit routes. Coastal routes involve the use of ships and submarines to move drugs from producer countries to consumer countries. Air routes include the use of airplanes and commercial flights to transport drugs. Land routes rely on overland transportation such as trucks, cars, railways, and pedestrians to move drugs across borders. Transit zones are used when drug traffickers use a country as a passage-way for moving narcotics from one country to another.

Drug trafficking routes are typically classified by the types of drugs being smuggled and the methods used to transport them. Some of the most common drug trafficking routes involve shipping, air transportation, land smuggling routes and courier services. Traffickers will often use containerized shipments or product shipping companies to move large amounts of drugs overseas. Air travel is used for high-value cargo, usually in diplomatic or military flights. Land based operations rely on car convoys and trucks transporting drugs across borders and within countries while couriers can move smaller amounts of drugs through legal pathways such as postal mail or carry-on luggage on airplanes.
