For cross-border sellers, it is very important to judge whether the overseas warehouse is formal, because the huge market risks behind the overseas warehouse may not be something that every small and medium-sized entrepreneur can bear. Generally, you can consider whether the overseas warehouse company is professional and formal from the following three points.
1. Whether it has the international freight forwarding qualification issued by the country
This is very important because it directly determines whether the overseas warehouse has stable warehouse space and stable sea transportation operation level to ensure the shelf time of the goods.
2. Professional customs clearance ability
The operation of overseas warehouses for cross-border e-commerce must first comply with local laws and regulations. Under the premise of increasingly strict supervision in the destination country, its overseas customs clearance ability must be strong, and it must be able to provide formal and legal customs clearance procedures. The customs clearance operation should be efficient and the fees should be low.
3. Professional warehousing management and customer maintenance capabilities
Overseas warehouses are not just simple cargo storage. Overseas warehouses need to process orders, customer sales service maintenance, commodity inspection and testing, standardized packaging and other systematic management. These all require very professional people to do. The management ability of overseas warehouses directly determines the sales and growth of your store in the later stage.
