If a single package contains items with multiple HS codes, the fees for each category will be cumulative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Standard Policy for Logistics Providers: Customs duties are initially paid in advance by the logistics provider,All costs associated with the new tariffs will be borne by the seller.<\/strong> It\u2019s not a matter of whether you choose \u201ctax-inclusive or tax-exclusive\u201d\u2014the cost is already on you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n European marketplace with 2,000 orders per month and an average order value of 25 euros:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Per year: 72,000 to 120,000 euros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The 12%, priced at 3 euros, accounts for 25 euros of the total price. If the price of the 12% is raised directly, conversion rates for price-sensitive product categories will drop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is recommended to sort by type:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n At the same time, adjust the shipping rate template.<\/strong> Don\u2019t make consumers feel that \u201cthe product has gotten more expensive\u201d; instead, make them feel that \u201cthe rules for cross-border shipping have changed\u201d\u2014the psychological acceptance is completely different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Under the new rules, local shipments are not allowed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Goods are in a European overseas warehouse \u2192 Consumer places an order \u2192 Local delivery. The \u20ac3 import fee has nothing to do with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Amazon data shows that local delivery within the EU can save up to 53% in shipping costs compared to cross-border shipping, with local deliveries arriving in 1\u20132 days versus 4\u20136 days for cross-border shipments. Sellers who are able to do so should plan ahead by setting up overseas fulfillment centers or using FBA to store inventory in local European warehouses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But switching to local fulfillment means taking on inventory and extending cash conversion cycles. Calculate the total cost of warehousing fees plus days in inventory before making a decision. Don\u2019t spend an extra 5 euros on warehousing just to save 3 euros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n IOSS (Import One-Stop Service) is a declaration system established by the European Union to support the new regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can register for IOSS through your VAT service provider. If you won\u2019t be able to complete registration by July 1, make sure to sort out the goods\u2019 values and HS codes first\u2014these must be in place before the FBA phase begins in November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \ud83d\udca1 Still unsure how much profit margin your European operations will have under the new regulations?
