You’ve nailed your product. You’re shipping across the U.S. But now, customers are DMing you from Canada, Europe, and the UAE asking, “Do you ship here?”

What is International Fulfillment?

It’s the process of storing and shipping your eCommerce products to customers outside your home country. It includes:

• Export compliance
  
  
• International shipping methods
  
  
• Customs paperwork
  
  
• Taxes and duties
  
  
• Packaging that survives long distances and climate changes
  
  

Challenges of International Fulfillment

• Damaged Goods:Especially when shipping heat-sensitive products
  
  
• Rising Shipping Costs:Without bulk discounts or regional warehousing
