With the deepening of globalization, cross-border e-commerce has become a trend and necessity. As one of the largest consumer markets in the world, the United States is very attractive for cross-border e-commerce sellers to enter the U.S. market. In order to improve the delivery speed of goods and reduce transportation costs, US overseas warehousing services came into being. The following will introduce the process of U.S. overseas warehouses in detail.
1. Apply for account opening.
After choosing a suitable overseas warehouse provider, sellers need to register and open an account on the company’s official website. Usually, sellers need to provide company registration information, business license, tax registration certificate and other materials for review. After passing the review, the seller can officially use the overseas warehouse service.
2. Delivery.
Sellers need to ship products to the designated warehouse of the overseas warehouse service provider. Before shipping, the seller needs to fill in the product details on the delivery note and put the delivery note on the outer packaging of the goods. At the same time, sellers also need to ensure that the packaging and transportation of products meet the requirements of overseas warehouses.
3. Warehousing and inspection.
After receiving the goods from the seller, the overseas warehouse service provider will carry out warehousing and inspection. Warehousing includes receiving, counting, classifying, and labeling goods. Inspection includes checking the appearance, quantity, quality, etc. of the goods. If there is a problem with the goods, the overseas warehouse service provider will contact the seller and negotiate a solution.
4. Shelves and management.
Goods that pass warehousing and inspection will be put on the shelves and management will begin. Overseas warehouse service providers will enter cargo information into the system and are responsible for maintaining, protecting and managing the cargo. Sellers can check the status of goods, inventory, sales and other information through the overseas warehouse service provider’s system.
5. Order processing.
When the seller’s goods are ordered by the buyer, the overseas warehouse service provider will pack and ship them according to the seller’s instructions. Overseas warehouse service providers are responsible for selecting appropriate transportation methods, packaging, labeling, shipping, etc. At the same time, overseas warehouse service providers will also provide tracking numbers and other information to sellers so that sellers and buyers can track and confirm.
6. After-sales service.
Overseas warehouse service providers also provide after-sales services. If there is damage to the goods, quality problems, etc., buyers can directly contact the overseas warehouse service provider. The overseas warehouse service provider will assist the buyer to solve the problem and feedback the problem to the seller.
In general, the process of US overseas warehouses is divided into application for account opening, shipment, warehousing and inspection, shelving and management, order processing and after-sales service. By choosing a suitable overseas warehouse provider and complying with the relevant regulations and procedures of overseas warehouses, sellers can effectively reduce transportation costs and increase delivery speed, and further expand the market share of cross-border e-commerce. At the same time, overseas warehouse service providers will also provide sellers and buyers with efficient, convenient and reliable logistics services to promote the development of the cross-border e-commerce industry.
