As a seller on Meitodo, you can’t avoid the hurdle of obtaining an RFC tax number. The four common options available—using a SAS tax number, using an SA tax number, registering your own SAS company, and registering your own SA company—all have completely different cost and risk structures.

Cheaper isn't always better, and more expensive doesn't necessarily mean safer. This article will help you break it down step by step.

As a Meike Duo seller, you’ll have to face this challenge sooner or later.

It’s not that “cross-border stores are bad and domestic stores are good”; rather, the differences in traffic structure, tax costs, and profit margins between these two models are far greater than most people realize.

This article won’t make the decision for you, but it will lay out the facts for you from five different perspectives. After reading it, you should have your answer.

With competition in the European and American markets becoming increasingly fierce and profit margins in Southeast Asia growing ever thinner, many cross-border sellers are on the lookout for new growth opportunities. If you have products and a supply chain and want to expand into the Latin American market […]

Many factories and traders share a common problem:

We have the products, the supply chain, and a price advantage,
However, we won’t be launching a cross-border platform—we don’t understand the Latin American market, and we don’t have a seasoned operations team.

If you want to get started on Meike Duo but don’t want to build a team from scratch, figure out the platform’s rules, or deal with complex operations right away, you should take a closer look at Meike Duo’s full-service management option.

The fully managed model is better suited for sellers with stable products and reliable supply capabilities. Sellers are primarily responsible for products, supply, and basic coordination, while the platform or service system handles more of the operations, fulfillment, and sales process, helping factory-based sellers enter the Latin American market with a more streamlined approach.

Want to tap into the Latin American market, but don’t want to get bogged down right from the start by logistics, customs clearance, warehousing, and platform operations?

Meike’s semi-managed service is emerging as a new business model that is attracting the attention of many manufacturers, traders, and cross-border sellers.

Compared to traditional cross-border stores, semi-managed services are better suited for sellers who have products and a supply chain but lack experience in localizing for the Latin American market. You can focus more of your energy on product selection, sourcing, and profit margins, while letting the platform handle the complex fulfillment process, thereby lowering the barrier to entry into the Latin American market.
