Overseas warehouse is one of the distribution channels of cross-border e-commerce. The use of overseas warehouse allows unlimited expansion of the seller's product categories. Some products have a long service life and do not belong to FMCG、 but there are restrictions on the market demand、 the formation of scale、 and the sales in overseas warehouse. The product categories in overseas warehouse can be expanded indefinitely. And the overseas warehouse is not only used for storing and transporting goods. What service function does the overseas warehouse have? Today、 let's talk about the five functions of overseas warehouse.

1. Return and replacement services.

Generally、 multinational e-commerce sellers will inevitably encounter many problems、 such as account closure、 product failure to go on sale、 wrong SKU label、 etc.、 so they can use the overseas warehouse delivery mode to provide services such as return、 exchange、 and label change、 so that the product can gain value again and avoid loss of goods.

2. Value added services.

When using FBA、 the seller can simultaneously use overseas warehouse services to replenish goods nearby、 minimize transaction costs and reduce transaction risks. In addition to FBA transit、 overseas warehouses can also provide value-added services for sellers、 such as warehousing inspection、 goods putting on shelves、 inventory management、 order receiving、 order sorting、 order review、 multi-channel shipment、 etc.

3. FBA replenishment service.

Cross border sellers can place part of their goods in overseas warehouses. When they find that the FBA stock is insufficient、 they can immediately replenish the stock from overseas warehouses. This process does not require an appointment. It can ensure that the warehouse is not arranged in the peak season. This operation method can save a lot of freight costs.

4. Overseas warehouse issues one piece.

The Seller shall prepare the products in batches from home to overseas warehouse、 and then the staff of overseas warehouse shall check and put them on the shelf. When a buyer places an order、 the Seller only needs to issue a delivery order in the overseas warehouse management system、 and the warehouse staff will implement local delivery service in accordance with local instructions.

5. FBA transit、 FBA transit and FBA transit services.

In most cases、 the FBA is used in combination with the third-party overseas warehouse、 stock goods in the overseas warehouse first、 forward (replenish) the FBA regularly or irregularly、 and handle the return and replacement of goods from the overseas warehouse while delivering goods from the FBA.

1. You need to first determine whether the items you send can be sent、 whether they are ordinary goods or special sensitive goods such as electrified and liquid goods、 ordinary goods and sensitive goods can be sent、 and prohibited goods are not allowed to be sent.

2. It is better to seal the packaging、 vulnerable and leaky articles before delivery、 add foam bags and other appropriate protection to prevent the goods from being damaged. The price of international express is calculated according to weight and volume weight. Reasonable space arrangement and volume control can save a lot of freight.

3. If the recipient's information is not detailed or incorrect、 it will cause the express delivery to be unable to deliver the goods to the recipient accurately and timely、 or even cause the goods to be sent wrongly. Be sure to check carefully and make no mistakes. Note: The address of domestic express delivery shall be filled in Chinese、 while that of international express delivery shall be filled in English.

4. Tariff and tariff are determined based on the type of goods、 the quantity and value of goods and the customs policy of the destination country. The probability of levying tariffs on normal personal goods is very small. Generally、 the declared value of your goods does not exceed the tariff threshold of the passing national customs、 and there is no need to pay tariffs.

5. Customs clearance. If the sensitive goods or articles are too high in value and need to pay customs duties、 the freight forwarding company will send the materials required for customs clearance to the recipient. The recipient needs to provide documents and goods information in accordance with the format. After customs quarantine、 review and inspection are completed、 the recipient can release and continue to deliver after paying customs duties. If the goods themselves are defective、 they may be detained and destroyed.

The so-called "air distribution" means air transportation plus delivery. FBA air distribution refers to a distribution channel of Amazon. UPS air distribution refers to the time when the local UPS express company picks up the goods and delivers them to the FBA warehouse、 Amazon FBA signs for receipt、 and the overall operation is completed.

American UPS Air Dispatch "、 the first air transportation to the United States、 after being transported to the United States by international air transportation、 and then delivered to the door or designated warehouse by UPS express.

Use FBA to deliver goods. For buyers、 they can quickly receive the purchased goods without logistics problems、 so that buyers can receive goods for a long time、 greatly improving their shopping experience; For sellers、 there is no need to worry about the timeliness of logistics delivery. They can spend more time on product operation and quickly seize the market.

At present、 most of them will provide a consignment service to better meet the seller's selection、 delivery and other issues、 especially for novice sellers. Of course、 the seller also needs to find a partner to support the delivery of one piece of goods、 so that the goods can be delivered in time.

For overseas warehouses that issue goods on behalf of others、 most of their service types also include export tax refund、 customs clearance、 distribution、 return processing、 return inspection、 overseas after-sales maintenance、 transit service、 and the service of pushing and changing labels.

Therefore、 the option of issuing overseas warehouse on behalf should not be sloppy.

Now let's share how to choose an appropriate overseas warehouse.

Whether there is a mature management system

For sellers、 customers、 goods、 overseas warehouses and information sharing and docking with logistics companies are very important、 so it depends on whether the management system matches the integration needs of their own enterprises、 such as order management、 waybill management、 etc. This is essential for a mature overseas warehouse enterprise.

Whether there is enough storage area and operation capacity

It is believed that we all often encounter the problem of "overseas warehouse explosion"、 which will lead to problems in the peak season turnover. Therefore、 the cooperative overseas warehouse enterprises must have a large inventory and professional operation capacity、 which can largely avoid these problems and enable the expansion of e-commerce sellers.

Whether there is a professional service team

The professional service team can provide cross-border e-commerce sellers with a one-stop service system、 starting from the delivery of goods to overseas warehouses. This can minimize the problems of goods overseas、 and at the same time、 it will be more coordinated and harmonious when connecting with customers.

PS: When selecting overseas warehouses、 we must make detailed adjustments、 such as whether the person in charge of the overseas warehouse has many years of overseas life experience、 and whether he has many years of operation experience in the logistics industry.

Clear billing mode

Not all overseas warehouses are reliable. Some overseas warehouse enterprises will attract you with low prices、 but there are many surcharges behind. Therefore、 when choosing、 sellers must find clear and definite charges and prices、 and there is no ambiguous overseas warehouse.

PS: In addition、 it is necessary to know in detail whether the geographical location of the warehouse is convenient and whether the service team is all Chinese. Because if the shipment is urgent、 most Chinese people accept overtime、 which can increase the processing speed of goods.

If the goods mailed do not exceed the 1000 limit、 there is no tariff. If the value of the goods mailed exceeds the tax exemption amount、 it may be necessary to pay tariffs for the goods. The current tariffs for cosmetics are 10% - 20%. The tariff is the excess part of the tariff、 that is、 the tariff is calculated based on the total amount of the excess tax exemption. The limit for items sent by individuals from or to Hong Kong、 Macao and Taiwan is 800 yuan each time; The limit for goods sent from or to other countries and regions is 1000 yuan each time.
