The manufacturing industry in Latin America is not well developed, and there are not many factories. On the contrary, the clothing manufacturing industry and consumer electronics manufacturing industry in China are very prosperous. Chinese sellers can take advantage of this and develop more of their own products. In addition, according to statistics, the hot-selling product categories on the MercadoLibre platform include: mobile phones, fashion, home furnishings, gardening, auto parts and sporting goods, etc., more than 42 small categories.
When doing cross-border e-commerce business, product selection is indispensable, and each seller has his own product selection method. In the large platform of MercadoLibre, products have become one of the key factors for sellers to break through the ice. A good product will make subsequent operations and promotion work easier. For some small sellers, how should they choose products when they first enter the Latin American market? For small sellers who are new to the MereadoLibret platform, due to their own economic strength and ability limitations, the author recommends that they make some products that are scarce on the Latin American e-commerce platform, have a large demand from local consumers, and have price advantages for Chinese sellers.
However, before that, sellers must have a certain understanding of the logistics requirements from China to Latin America. This is a prerequisite, otherwise it would be a pity if the promising products cannot be delivered due to logistics problems.
Take the Brazilian logistics requirements as an example:
First, the maximum weight limit for a single package cannot exceed 2kg, so when selecting products, you should try to avoid large products and choose some light and small items. At the same time, Brazilian logistics also has requirements for the size of a single package. The length, width and height of a single side must be less than 60cm, and the sum of the length, width and height must be less than 90cm. In order to ensure timeliness, logistics sent to Brazil are often transported by air, and the package cannot contain lithium batteries, liquids, powders and other items that are prohibited by airlines.
Although the restrictions on logistics have helped us exclude a large part of the products and narrowed the range of product selection, it is not easy to choose a suitable product within the range that meets the requirements.
