For the first leg of FBA, Amazon is not responsible for customs clearance and delivery from China to Amazon warehouses. The first leg service of FBA refers to the transportation of goods from China to Amazon warehouses. There are special services to meet this demand, such as Export Easy [400 out 6908 out 223 easy], which has services in South China and East China. For the first leg of FBA, there should be 4 delivery methods on the market:

1. Direct express delivery; DHL, UPS, FedEx and the like, generally the price of more than 20kg is still good, fast timeliness, suitable for emergency replenishment. Moreover, express delivery is free of appointment for warehousing, but it should be noted that Amazon is not the main body of customs clearance, and is not responsible for customs clearance and tax payment. It is necessary to make a good declaration and prepayment of tariffs and prepare local customs clearance importers in advance. Generally, Export Easy can provide tax number borrowing

2. FBA air + delivery: Use air transportation to transport to the local area first, and then use local express delivery to deliver to Amazon warehouse, which has fast timeliness, slightly slower than direct express delivery. Express delivery is free of appointment for warehousing, which is very convenient. Now the air + delivery on the market generally includes double clearance and tax, and there is no need to pay tariff prepayment fees, etc. The cost is also very cheap, about 20-30 yuan/kg. Export Easy also has it

3. FBA sea freight first leg: sea freight + local customs clearance + destination country delivery, the time limit is slightly longer. The full price does not include tax, which is about 1,000 yuan per cubic meter. The United States and the United Kingdom are cheaper, and Canada is more expensive. This kind of sea freight first leg has a long time limit, generally more than a month. At that time, it was sent to Amazon by trailer, and generally required a warehousing appointment, which was more troublesome than express delivery. But the price is cheap. If calculated according to 1cbm=167kg, it is a few yuan per kg, which is cheaper than the express delivery of more than 30 yuan per kg.

For 10 boxes of 20kg goods, the express delivery cost is about 6,000, but the sea freight is estimated to be less than 2,000, but the time limit is long, which is suitable for non-urgent replenishment. Export Easy can solve customs clearance and full-process services.

4. Overseas warehouse transfer: Put the goods in the overseas warehouse of Export Easy. One can do Amazon FBA, and the other can be sold on other platforms and shipped from overseas warehouses. Generally, there are many options for overseas warehouse transfer to Amazon. You can choose express delivery without appointment, or you can choose trailer delivery. The method is flexible and simple, and you can also replenish goods frequently, and the replenishment time is also short. Moreover, the customs clearance problem has been solved before the goods arrive at the warehouse, and there will be no big problem in sending them from the warehouse to Amazon later. Especially since Amazon's FBA price will increase next year, you should also try other platforms, such as self-built platforms, wish, and many new platforms.

It is recommended to choose hot-selling products for FBA to avoid unsalable inventory in the warehouse, resulting in stagnation and financial pressure. If you are just starting to do FBA in the early stage, it is recommended to send fewer hot-selling products. You can use express delivery and air + delivery, which is the fastest. The price of more than 20kg is acceptable. When you are doing it smoothly and the quantity is large, you can use sea transportation to replenish the goods to reduce costs. Of course, seasonal products that are in a hurry are best shipped by air or express.
