01 Large goods are easily damaged during transportation. Due to the characteristics of large goods such as large volume、 high quality and high value、 it is particularly important to ensure the integrity of the goods during transportation. However、 some overseas warehouses will ignore this. For example、 some overseas warehouses will not provide waterproof packaging for the goods、 adopt professional packaging techniques、 and create protective clothing、 which will cause damage to large goods during transportation due to improper packaging protection.

02 Large capital investment and cost estimation. The purchase cost of medium and large parts is much higher than that of small parts、 which has certain requirements for the seller's capital、 selection、 logistics and other capabilities.

03 In terms of logistics、 overseas warehouses are required、 and the logistics cost accounts for more than 30% of the turnover. Due to product weight、 volume and other reasons、 most large products are shipped to overseas warehouses by sea. After platform orders are generated、 they are directly delivered to consumers from overseas warehouses. The logistics cost of large products usually accounts for about 30% of the turnover、 which is reflected in the following aspects: the length of goods exceeds the standard、 extra long surcharges、 overweight products include overweight charges、 product packaging is too large、 and the size does not meet the standard、 which may lead to uncontrolled logistics costs.

International moving expenses by sea include the following aspects:?

1. In order to avoid serious damage of goods during transportation、 and to meet the customs clearance requirements、 furniture and other items during transportation、 the professional packaging team needs to carry out customized packaging、 including cardboard、 carton、 pearl wool、 bubble film、 winding film、 wrapping angle、 tape and other materials、 as well as the corresponding packaging and handling labor costs、 which are included in the cost.

4. The cargo at the port of departure will incur relevant port handling、 document and other miscellaneous charges、 and the shipping company will charge corresponding ocean freight during the transportation.

5. The cargo arriving at the port of destination will also incur the corresponding port miscellaneous charges.

6. After the goods arrive at the port of destination、 we will carry out the corresponding customs clearance、 that is、 we can make declaration to the customs of the destination country、 and we can arrange further work after the permission of the customs of the destination country. The performance of customs clearance procedures will also incur corresponding expenses.

7. After the customs clearance、 we will provide you with follow-up delivery services、 which are slightly different according to the requirements of each guest、 basically including placing all furniture in the designated room、 removing the outer packaging、 simply assembling furniture、 and finally removing all the disassembled packaging fragments before leaving.

For Amazon users in Chinese Mainland、 the first step of Amazon FBA includes two steps:

1. Deliver the goods to the warehouse of domestic service providers;

2. Domestic logistics service providers transport goods to Amazon warehouses (Amazon America or Amazon Europe)

One stop to shore overseas warehouses are built in Los Angeles and Mexico City、 providing one-stop control and management services such as first journey transportation、 cargo storage、 local return and exchange、 labeling、 etc. Domestic warehouses have opened the FBA direct delivery service of sea and air transportation in many places、 becoming a seamless bridge with FBA.

Amazon FBA in the United States limits the number of products to be warehoused according to the sales volume.

Then、 it will save a lot of costs to fill at least one container at a time.

At this time、 the most necessary is the American overseas warehouse.

Therefore、 the most obvious cost savings are transportation fees (including customs duties、 AMS、 IFS declaration fees、 BOND fees、 importer agency fees、 etc.).

And the recent trip to the United States has been delayed.

So now it has become a necessary choice for Amazon sellers and overseas warehouses
