Top 3 Things to Keep in Mind When Shipping Overseas

Shipping products domestically is an achievable task for most businesses. However, most companies fail to meet expectations when they’re asked to ship items overseas. If you’re a business offering international shipping for your products, you must have all the resources and knowledge to meet this goal.

 

Read on to learn some essentials to keep in mind when shipping overseas.

Packaging

The first thing to consider when shipping products abroad is the kind of packaging you must invest in to ensure that the items safely reach the customer. Most items sent overseas are delivered via sea or air cargo as their ultimate mediums of transportation. This puts the product at risk of being broken or damaged, especially if they’re fragile.

 

Therefore, you should determine a product packaging strategy that includes wrapping a product and placing it in a sturdy parcel or box to keep it safe throughout the shipping process.

Time of Transit

Overseas customers expect fast delivery from online stores just as much as any other customer in your own country. Therefore, you should always keep the transit time in mind when providing your customer with an estimated timeframe of product delivery.

 

This process involves working and negotiating with shipping companies to expedite shipping and reduce the transit time as much as possible. However, it’s always a good idea to remain rational and transparent to your customers about the amount of time it’ll take for the product to reach their doorstep.

Shipping Rules and Regulations

Lastly, overseas shipping can be challenging because of the shipping regulations in every country. This requires you to have substantial knowledge, experience, and documentation to ensure that you’re complying with all the rules and custom duties efficiently.

 

Another excellent way to ensure smooth and efficient overseas shipping without worrying about regulations is by counting on a reliable order fulfilment company that can take over the shipping processes for you. E-commerce fulfilment companies know what you need when trying to ship products overseas.

Dealing with international clients and ensuring that they receive what they ordered within the desired timeframe can be challenging and overwhelming, especially if your business is new and relatively small.
