Shopify Canadian Cross Border Ecommerce

Parcel Logistics: The new supply chain challenge Supply chain management professionals are seeing their traditional flows changing as suppliers and retailers adjust to the logistics of individual parcels. The ability to handle individual parcels has traditionally been the purview of post offices and mega parcel carriers. Retailers are now looking to eliminate the layers of providers and develop high volume parcel import solutions themselves

Jet Worldwide helps retailers develop cross border e-commerce solutions to American businesses and consumers.

The global economy is emerging towards direct e-commerce connections fuelled by - and contributing to - a global growth rate expected to exceed 3 percent. Shippers and logistics providers are seeking clarity through the development of new parcel logistics processes.

At Jet Worldwide, we see the aggregate demand of consumers being the driving force behind logistics spending, with the most powerful impact coming from rising consumer demand for e-commerce deliveries. Global commerce is shifting from large bulk purchases - with the requisite logistics support - to single order shipments which are supported by parcel logistics.

Leading International Markets for Canadian Online Orders

The major growth opportunity for the retail online marketplace is cross border sales. Canadian retailers often serve niche markets - for example in winter wear - that are attractive to certain markets. Furthermore, Canadian retailers can embrace the value of being, well, Canadian.

The leading international markets for Canadian e-commerce sellers includes:

• United Kingdom
• European Union
• China
• Japan

Jet Worldwide has direct shipping, import and last mile delivery solutions to all the world's major economies.

Parcel logistics is moving toward a fully digital, connected, and flexible supply chain optimized for cross border direct e-commerce and last-minute delivery. Next-generation supply chain will embrace the import processes to drive efficiencies with greater control of production through direct demand orders and predictive analytics.

The regulatory constraints towards international cross border e-commerce parcel importing have receded as global cross border from Canada flourishes.

Custom Processes for Canadian Online Exports

Jet helps Canadian companies build durable, efficient import processes that can then be incorporated into the product listing.

• Harmonized System Code (HS): It is not always necessary to include the HS Code but it is absolutely necessary that the codes are understood and implemented as needed. Visit our blog on HS codes: HS Codes for Cross Border Online Shipments.
• Valuing your Item(s): Although the correct declared value for import is most often the value of the sale or transaction, it is important to understand methods of valuation. Issues for valuation include whether or not to include transport costs, insurance, and/ or value added tax. Visit our blog on valuation: Declared Value, CIF and Valuation for international shipping.
• Restricted Items: It is necessary for online sellers to categorize shipments that may be restricted by virtue of the item itself or it may be permitted under certain circumstances.
• Country of Origin: Canada enjoys free trade agreements with most the countries Jet services. Processes can be developed to ensure that goods of Canadian origin (made in Canada) benefit from preferential duty free import. Visit our blog regarding Canada's Free Trade Agreements: Canada's Free Trade Agreements and Duty Free Import for Online Orders.
• Value Add Tax: Even goods that qualify for duty free import may be subjected to a value added tax. It is a requirement when shipping online orders to many countries - most notably the UK and European Union members - that this be prepaid. Jet helps companies understand and comply with these requirements. Read our blogs regarding:
  • • Prepayment of VAT for online orders imported to the UK
    • Prepayment of VAT for online orders imported to European Union countries
