Question 1

Why use an EU fulfilment provider?

Accepted Answer

Many eCommerce businesses hesitate to expand internationally as a result of the complex and costly processes associated with shipping abroad, including within the European Union (EU). Not only are there customs, import duties, Valued Added Tax (VAT) and additional fees to consider, but also extended transit times, high shipping rates, and other challenges. By partnering with an EU fulfilment provider, shipping your orders to the EU and beyond becomes much simpler, straightforward and cost-effective for your online business.

Question 2

Are there restrictions on EU shipping?

Accepted Answer

Shipping restrictions vary by country and may apply to items such as explosives, combustibles, firearms, and corrosives, which are subject to special controls. In the European Union (EU), restricted or prohibited goods fall into three categories: pirated or counterfeited goods, dangerous chemicals, and endangered species.
