Precautions for the first warehousing of Amazon FBA:

Be sure to provide the Japanese importer (company or individual)、 and it is almost impossible to complete customs clearance without the cooperation of the importer. (The customs will confirm the local tax number by telephone) - Give it to us for settlement

Notes on import tariff and consumption tax in Japan:

Most of the goods imported from Japan (80-90%) are tariff free、 but 8% of the consumption tax will be paid if the freight and value of goods is more than 10000 yen.

For a small number of products、 the average tax rate is (3-5%)、 such as plastic products、 aluminum products、 etc.、 but the freight and freight value of the express is less than 10、000 yen、 there is no tariff and consumption tax. On the contrary、 if the freight and freight value of the express is more than 10、000 yen、 (3-5%) import tariff and 8% consumption tax shall be paid.

Some famous products are strictly required by Japanese customs、 such as textile products、 which are subdivided into knitting and woven products:

Knitwear (simply understood as elastic clothes and pants、 such as sweaters、 T-shirts、 stockings、 underwear、 etc.) usually has an import tariff of about 10% plus 8% consumption tax when the freight and added value is greater than 1000 yen.

Shuttle fabrics (simply understood as trousers without elasticity、 such as jeans、 etc.) with freight and freight value less than 10000 yen also have no import tariff and consumption tax. On the contrary、 there will be 7-10.9% import tariff and consumption tax.

Leather goods (such as leather bags、 leather shoes、 leather coats、 leather gloves、 etc.) with freight and value higher than 1000 yen will generate 20% import tariff plus 8% consumption

Note: The above description concerning import tariff of Japan shall be subject to the actual verification of Japanese customs.

1. The market demand of products should be large

This is the basic principle. Long tail products are not suitable for overseas warehouses、 because it will affect the conversion rate and produce life and death inventory. However、 the size of the market is reasonable、 and the seller needs to evaluate according to the capital situation and turnover rate.

2. Focus on the total profit per unit time rather than the profit of a single transaction

In general、 the profit margin of overseas warehouse of most products will be much higher than that of domestic shipment、 which is also the advantage of overseas warehouse.

Is it true that the profits of overseas warehouses are not as good as those of products shipped domestically、 so they must not be overseas warehouses? In fact、 it is not because we also need to comprehensively consider the conversion rate of overseas warehouse、 because products with high conversion rate can also achieve higher total profits through overseas warehouse!

This requires our sellers to look at overseas warehouses from a developmental and overall perspective.

For example、 if the profit margin of a product shipped from China is 20% and that of an overseas warehouse is 10%、 but the conversion rate of an overseas warehouse is 6 times that of a Chinese shipment、 the total profit obtained in the same time period is 3 times that of a Chinese shipment. Therefore、 we should not only look at the profit rate、 but also calculate the overall cost and benefit.

1. Differences in the selection range: compared with the FBA warehouse、 the third-party overseas warehouse is more extensive、 like products with large volume and weight、 and suitable third-party overseas warehouses can also be found.

2. Difference of first course service: FBA warehouse will not provide first course customs clearance service、 but some third-party overseas warehouse will.

3. Difference in requirements for products before warehousing: The warehousing of FBA warehouse is relatively strict、 which requires the seller to stick the outer box label and product label before shipment. If the outer box or product label is damaged、 the seller will be required to sort it out before warehousing.

The warehousing requirements of the third-party overseas warehouse are not as high as those of the FBA warehouse、 and they even provide sorting and assembly services before putting on the shelf.

4. Differences in distribution after product warehousing: Amazon defaults to separate warehouses、 while third-party overseas warehouses generally place goods from the same seller in the same warehouse for centralized management.

5. Difference in warehousing cost: Generally speaking、 if the volume of goods is large、 the cost of using the FBA warehouse is higher than that of the third-party overseas warehouse.

6. Differences in product promotion support: choosing FBA and Amazon platforms will increase the exposure of sellers' products、 such as improving the ranking of sellers' products、 helping sellers seize gold shopping carts、 etc.、 which will help improve the flow and sales of sellers' stores.

The characteristics of special logistics lines are as follows

1. Logistics special line refers to two points and one line transportation

2. Goods have a common distribution center

3. Own operation system

4. Straight line arrival、 no transfer、 no unloading

1. Lower logistics cost: direct delivery from overseas warehouses in the United States to customers is equivalent to domestic express delivery、 which is lower than that from China to foreign countries.

2. Faster delivery time: After the first transportation of American overseas warehouse solves the complex problems of transportation、 customs declaration、 customs clearance、 etc.、 you don't need to worry about the customs declaration and customs clearance of the articles in the warehouse、 wait for orders、 and ship at any time.

3. Higher product exposure: if the platform or store has its own warehouse overseas、 then local customers will generally give priority to local delivery when choosing to shop、 because this can greatly shorten the time of receiving goods、 the advantages of overseas warehouse、 and also enable sellers to have their own unique advantages、 thus improving the product exposure and improving the sales of the store. At present、 our long-term cooperation is with overseas warehouses of TODROPSHIPPING. They have overseas warehouses in Europe and the United States、 which are convenient for delivery、 transit and warehousing. It is a good choice.
