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.

First of all、 we learned that the overseas warehouse is actually a kind of overseas leased warehouse derived from the service of cross-border e-commerce or foreign trade. The appearance of overseas warehouse has greatly improved the storage and delivery time、 efficiency problems、 logistics costs、 customs clearance fees、 etc. For the seller、 a series of savings and efficiency improvements have made the profit of the seller's own products continue to increase、 followed by a more convenient delivery service One piece consignment of overseas warehouse is divided into one piece consignment of supplier's goods source and self owned goods source to prepare goods for overseas warehouse. After the customer places an order、 the overseas warehouse system issues delivery instructions、 and the overseas warehouse staff receives the instructions、 they are responsible for the final delivery work such as packaging and shipment.

Naturally、 we have some understanding of his process from the understanding of overseas warehouse and one agent:

1. The cross-border foreign trade seller arranges express delivery to deliver the goods to the US warehouse;

2. The warehouse shall count the goods received and put them on shelves;

3. When a buyer places an order on the platform、 the buyer uploads the order in the warehouse system;

4. The warehouse receives the order instruction to distribute goods and deliver goods、 and the American local logistics delivery;

5. The buyer receives the order item.

1. Self built warehouse by the seller

This category is the overseas warehouse built by the seller himself. The advantage of this kind of overseas warehouse is that the seller can control and manage itself and is flexible. The disadvantage is that the seller needs to solve the problems of warehousing、 customs declaration、 logistics and transportation、 and the construction cost and risk of self built warehouse are also large. In addition、 it is difficult to obtain advantageous prices in transportation if the delivery volume is not large.

2. Platform warehouse (e.g. Amazon FBA)

This is a service provided by Amazon itself for sellers. At the same time、 Amazon has many preferential policies for users: for example、 it helps sellers improve the ranking of products on Amazon's pages and become featured sellers. However、 the fees are expensive、 the customer service is not up to standard、 the flexibility is poor、 and it is also very annoying.

3. Third party overseas warehouse (such as Todropshipping fulfillment)

The actual cooperation between cross-border e-commerce and third-party overseas warehouses also falls into two categories.

Amazon and overseas warehouse are not contradictory、 on the contrary、 they can complement each other.

Amazon FBA has advantages in order fulfillment、 inventory and distribution. However、 compared with the third-party overseas warehouse、 FBA's storage cost is much higher. It is quite troublesome to return goods and clear up. In addition、 the first transportation cost in the peak season will rise a lot、 and in the peak season、 it will give you problems such as limited inventory and inability to put in the warehouse at one time. While many sellers use FBA as their sales warehouse、 they will choose a reliable third-party overseas warehouse as their secondary replenishment warehouse and return processing warehouse. The overseas warehouse will unpack、 temporarily store or directly send full containers to FBA after receiving the goods.

Have Amazon FBA cargo operation experience、 be familiar with Amazon warehouse warehousing standards、 be able to identify Amazon cargo waybill labels、 and simply place an order to solve customs clearance and tax payment problems、 because Amazon does not act as the main body of customs clearance and tax payment. If it is a large batch of goods、 you need to be familiar with Amazon's scheduled warehousing process. It is better to be the FBA first logistics service provider recommended by Amazon For example、 the FBA first service provided by Todropshipping should be diversified and different FBA first service should be selected for different goods.
