What should I pay attention to when sending international logistics?
Different from domestic express delivery, there are many things to pay attention to when sending international logistics. This is mainly because there are many links involved in international transportation of goods, coupled with differences in language, culture, time, and laws between countries. In contrast, international express delivery is more prone to cargo abnormalities, and abnormal handling is difficult and costly.
The instructions for filling in the shipment, whether it is domestic logistics delivery or international logistics delivery, need to be sent under real names. Individual mailers need to provide corresponding identity certificates, and corporate mailers need to provide business licenses. After filling in the address, we should pay attention to two aspects: one is that the mailing address should be as detailed as possible and the contact information should be accurate; on the other hand, the zip code information should not be filled in wrong, otherwise the package will not be delivered normally.
The mailing requirements of sensitive products, photosensitive products, that is, non-general products, have batteries, liquids, pastes, powders, magnets, recipes, etc. To express these sensitive goods, it is necessary not only to select the express delivery channel in a targeted manner, but also to obtain the corresponding certification documents in accordance with the requirements of the British policy. When delivering by post, it is necessary to follow the standard of the express company and correctly pack. In terms of express delivery channels, the electronic parts can be DHL international express or Fedex international express.
Liquids, ointments, powders, and cosmetics can all be transported through the British international logistics line. Items with magnets need to be inspected by air before they can be transported. Food, books, imitation brands and other items can be sent by international EMS express mail. In terms of supporting documents, all kinds of sensitive items need to provide proof.
Items with power supply need to be tested for UN38.3. Liquid, paste, cosmetics, need to obtain MSDS certification, that is, chemical safety instructions. The packaging of sensitive items and the packaging of electrical items are mainly insulated, and there are restrictions on the number of batteries and weight for transportation. The main purpose of the liquid is to make a good seal to prevent items from spilling. Other types of products with high sensitivity have corresponding packaging requirements, please consult online customer service for details.
Precautions for customs clearance and tariffs, like other EU countries, the UK tariff threshold is currently 22 euros, which is expected to change after Brexit. The starting point of the tax rate is very low, so that it is easy to generate tariffs. For individual mail, you only need to pay the corresponding tariffs as required. Multinational e-commerce sellers have to pay not only customs duties but also value-added tax when mailing goods. Most cross-border e-commerce sellers and individuals can mail parcels through the DDP withholding tariff channel to solve the problem of tariff payment.
Compared with Amazon sellers, DDP withholding tax needs to use your own tax number, otherwise the product will be found out without paying VAT, and the product cannot be sold.
Choosing the express delivery channel. After the logistics industry arrives in the UK, it is very important to choose the corresponding express delivery channel, which can not only meet your own mailing needs, but also save logistics costs. Everyone can choose according to their own characteristics. You can also consult online customer service to obtain professional logistics solutions.
