International transportation strategy of shopkeeper’s counterfeit brand products and risk analysis of cross-border independent stations
As a special entity in cross-border e-commerce, counterfeit brand products not only provide sellers with new market opportunities, but also bring many challenges. This article aims to provide shopkeepers and sellers with practical international transportation strategies for counterfeit brand products, and also explores the legal, promotion, logistics and payment risks of counterfeit brand cross-border independent stations.
International transportation guide
Choose special channels
Due to the strict control of counterfeit products by customs around the world, major express delivery companies officially refuse to accept counterfeit products. Therefore, if you want to mail counterfeit brand products, you first need to find a special channel that can mail such products.
Provide details
Detailed recipient information needs to be provided before mailing, including the recipient’s name, address, phone number, postal code, email address, city and other relevant information to ensure smooth delivery.
Control package size
Packages should not be too large. Small packages have a lower probability of being inspected. In addition, the declared value cannot be too low, otherwise it will be easily seized.
Customs clearance capability selection
In terms of channel selection, it is recommended to use express delivery with strong customs clearance capabilities, such as Hong Kong EMS express. Relying on Hong Kong’s geographical location and the advantages of Hong Kong Post, we can access global and efficient customs clearance.
Pay attention to the declared value
The declared value of the item must be lower than the tariff of the destination country, such as 22 euros in Europe and 800 US dollars in the United States. The size of the package must correspond to the declared value, otherwise it may easily cause random inspections by the customs.
Risks of cross-border independent websites
Legal risks
Counterfeit cross-border independent websites involve significant legal risks. The unauthorized production and sale of products similar to well-known brands is a serious violation of intellectual property laws. If caught, sellers could face hefty fines and legal action.
Promotion risks
The main traffic sources for independent stations are usually Google, overseas social media platforms, etc. However, these platforms clearly stipulate that advertising related to counterfeit brands is not allowed. Posting counterfeit brand advertisements will not only fail to pass review, but may also lead to account bans.
Logistics risk
Most international logistics companies do not allow the shipment of counterfeit brand products. International import and export customs are very strict in inspecting counterfeit brands. Once seized, counterfeit products may be destroyed and sellers may face heavy fines.
Payment risk
Many international payment systems or payment methods prohibit the purchase of counterfeit products. Once a seller uses these prohibited payment systems, his or her account is at risk of being banned.
Conclusion
Although counterfeit cross-border independent websites may bring certain profits in the short term, their legal, promotion, logistics and payment risks cannot be ignored. Independent website sellers should consider pursuing other legal and compliant sales strategies, such as cooperating with formal brands and establishing legally authorized agency relationships, so as to obtain more stable and sustainable profits.
By complying with intellectual property laws, robust promotion strategies, compliant logistics options and legal payment methods, independent website sellers can establish a trustworthy brand image in the global market, gain lasting competitive advantages and stable profits, thereby establishing a long-term path of development.
