The first crucial step is choosing the right carrier. Postal services like USPS and Royal Mail offer budget-friendly options, but they might lack tracking visibility. On the other hand, global carriers like FedEx, DHL, and UPS provide faster delivery with better tracking, but at a higher cost. Your choice ultimately depends on your unique business strategy and meeting customer expectations. For products weighing more than 2kg, global carriers also offer competitive and affordable rates.
When shipping internationally, a commercial invoice is crucial for customs clearance. Ensure you include a simple yet clear product description for easy understanding by customs officials, mention the customs value, and country of origin, and provide the HS code (Harmonized System code), which plays a crucial role in determining customs duties and taxes. Inaccurate information can result in customs delays, fines, and incorrect duty assessments.
Consider obtaining insurance to cover potential loss or damage during transit. This is particularly important for high-value goods.
Then comes DDP (Delivery Duty Paid). We always suggest that sellers pay all the duties and taxes for easy and quicker customs clearance. Although there is an option to pass these costs on to the buyer. Additionally, if there are any charges, please communicate them clearly to the buyers.
Visit the carrier's website, such as FedEx, UPS, or DHL. Manually enter all the shipment details to create a shipping label & the commercial invoice. It is important to carefully enter all details here to avoid human errors and make sure to include multiple copies of commercial invoices in the shipment.
For eCommerce merchants shipping multiple orders a day, we always recommend solutions like PluginHive, which can completely automate the process of printing international shipping labels and the accurate commercial invoice required for customs clearance. This can save time and money, streamlining the entire fulfillment process.
