E-commerce shippers from North America seek the following solutions:
- Global Delivery with Duty Unpaid: While this remains a popular option, it can create problems as the buyers are sometimes surprised by import fees.
- Global Delivery Paid: Delivery duty paid is more often a requirement from both the shipper and international buyer. VAT (value added tax) is applicable even for duty free items. VAT for online orders to the UK and prepayment of VAT to EU.
- Drop-Shipment delivery solutions from the factory: This solution can bypass the traditional logistics flow and provide shipping direct to consumers with minimal delay, inventory and warehousing.
- Regional and Local Fulfilment with Global Delivery: Companies are seeking consolidation and distribution sites located in trading blocks (such as the European Union), key markets (such as the UK, Canada, and US), and regional focus (such as the Caribbean and Nordics).
- Using Postal Foreign Office of Exhange/ETOE’s (Extraterritorial Office of Exchange): International postal authorities (mostly European) have set up postal distribution from US Gateway cities. These include PostNord (Sweden and Denmark), Asendia (Switzerland and France), BPost (Belgium) amongst others. The benefit of these services is the traditional advantage of "postal clearance" and UPU terminal dues. However, postal clearance is less advantageous than the recent past and new "self declared UPU pricing" has taken away some of the cost advantages.
- Direct Connections to Global Post offices: With the new UPU rules (referenced above), more post offices are selling directly to overseas customers without setting up an ETOE's (mentioned above). The USPS (Global Direct Entry), PostNord (Direct Link), Canada Post and Singpost (Singapore Post) are just a few who are selling direct to international online merchants.

Shipping from International Markets to the USA
The US remains - by far - the most open market for online orders shipped internationally. Most goods orders can be cleared duty free for direct last mile delivery via the USPS Global Direct Entry (or via a USPS reseller).
Using section 321 duty free processes, goods can be cleared via airfreight (type 11) express (ECCF) for Cargo (CFS). Also new processes are becoming available to enable clearance of ocean freight shipments (section 321 type 86). Contact our team for an initial consultation for high volume parcel import processes to the USA.
With the growth of e-commerce cross border individual orders, the processes have been updated to include assessment of import fees and taxes. Online sellers have to consider the local regulations in order to be able to scale their volumes and secure their supply chain.
