FBA Customs Calculation of Goods Sub-slots
First, the FBA warehouse problem:
FBA provides two methods for the distribution of inventory, you can choose the seller background settings----fulfillment by amazon---inbound settings----inventory placement option:
1, Distributed Inventory Placement (default setting), distributed inventory layout (default setting), this way, in the process of creating the shipment, the FBA warehouse will be assigned to you by the system according to its distribution principle. The same SKU product may be divided into 1-3 different warehouses.
Under normal circumstances, we will distribute according to its distribution, if necessary, can be fine-tuned, such as one of the shipment only a very small amount of product. In this way, if you want to group all the different SKUs into the same repository, you can see if there are any shipments in the system that have all the SKUs. If yes, then you can delete other shipments and add the quantity of each product in other shipments to this shipment.
However, this is an opportunistic approach and does not recommend long-term operation. This should be a mandatory merger and it is a violation of the amazon policy, so it may affect the assessment of your FBA account.
2, inventory placement service: inventory configuration service, it is said that this way, you are free to merge your shipment, how to adjust your product how to adjust. But it is to charge. To learn more about this inventory configuration service's description and charging rules, you can click on "learn more" at the back of this option.
Really, if there is no charge, merchants can designate FBA warehouses according to their own needs. That will inevitably lead to some warehouses in amazon, and some warehouses will be empty.
Therefore, Amazon will try its best to avoid this situation. As a seller, we still follow its rules as much as possible. This is one of the ways to protect our account.
There is also a way to select the whole box package when choosing the shipping package. Such different skus will eventually be packaged separately and put in a big box. Amazon's address is just one. It is also tricky and does not charge fees.
Second, the issue of tariff collection
World Customs Tariff Reference Points for Cities
U.S. threshold: 200 U.S. dollars
Japanese Expenditure 13,333 yen
British threshold: £15
EU threshold €22
Canada's starting point 20 Canadian dollars
Australian threshold: 1000 Australian dollars
The Swiss tariff threshold is: 100 Swiss francs. (Switzerland does not join the European Union and is a neutral country)
Basic tax rate/WTO tax rate
Here WTO refers to the MFN (Most Favored Nation) tax rate, a country's tariff rate on imported products from its most favored nation.
Adopted by countries with bilateral or multilateral trade agreements, most-favoured-nation treatment is an important provision in the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade. According to this article, trade-offs and exemptions granted by the two parties to each other now and in the future are given to third countries. And the privilege is also given to the contracting party, reflected in the tariff, which is the most favored nation tax, and this type of tariff concession is reciprocal.
Trade between the member countries of the World Trade Organization is now subject to the MFN tax rate, and the MFN tax rate is the normal tax rate. In general, preferential tariffs on the GSP and free trade zones are based on tariff reductions on the basis of WTO tariffs.
Basic tax rate: In the preferential arrangements of some countries in ASEAN, tariffs are used as preferential bases and starting points.
Preferential tax rate: Refers to the preferential tax rate tariff that is lower than the ordinary tax rate for imported goods from a specific beneficiary country.
Preferential tariffs are generally reciprocal. Through international trade or tariff agreements, the two parties agree to give preferential tariff treatment to each other; but there are also unilateral, preference-giving unilateral preferential tariff treatments to beneficiary countries, which do not require reverse preferential treatment. For example, preferential tariffs under the generalized system; the WTO adopts a multilateral, universal, most-favoured-nation preferential tariff, which is granted by either party to all parties.
Currently, there are two types of preferential tariffs: the GSP discount rate and the FTZ discount rate.
Third, do the advantages and disadvantages of FBA
FBA's full name is Fullfillment By Amazon, and Chinese translation is called Amazon Logistics. It is a one-stop logistics service provided by Amazon, including warehousing, picking, packaging, delivery, collection, customer service and return processing.

2. Poor flexibility (All overseas warehouses are short, but other third-party overseas warehouses can still have special Chinese customer service to deal with some issues. FBA can only communicate with customers in English, and it will not respond to email communication. Three-party overseas warehouse customer service is so timely)
3, FBA warehouse will not provide customs clearance services for the seller's delivery
4. If the preparatory work is not done well, label scanning problems will affect the storage of goods, and even can not enter the library
