Shipping merchandise from point A to point B, specifically
across borders, requires much more than pricing a good and adding
shipping fees. Merchants doing business globally are responsible
for incorporating tax applicable to the import country, and the
duty tax associated with the imported good. Additionally, merchants
need to be aware of any restrictions that may exist on their goods
both from an export/import perspective, as well as from a carrier
perspective.
In the 2016 Global Online Shopping Study from Pitney Bowes more
than two-thirds of consumers identified as shopping cross-border in
the last year and price as the top reason. “Consumers want to know
exactly what fees will be charged. If a consumer receives a good
with additional fees added upon arrival, it sours that consumer’s
overall experience,” says Lila Snyder, Executive Vice President and
President, Global Ecommerce, Pitney Bowes. "Merchants who don’t get
it right risk losing a customer, and face lost revenue due to
return shipping costs and restocking fees.”
Amazon’s global sellers can now access the Pitney Bowes Global
Trade Solutions and, through the tool’s interface, merchants can
easily assess goods, class, origin and destination to resolve
compliance and tax complexities, in real-time, with the click of a
button.
