A comprehensive solution for cost reduction in cross-border procurement and consolidation for local small stores in Taiwan

Money-saving tips for Cross-border logistics for Small and Medium-sized merchants

Local small stores, brick-and-mortar stores and small e-commerce sellers in Taiwan often purchase goods from platforms such as Taobao, 1688, Douyin and Xiaohongshu. However, most mainland merchants cannot send goods directly to Taiwan. Problems such as high shipping costs for individual parcels, complicated customs clearance procedures, heavy and inflated volume, hidden charges and damaged goods constantly compress the profit margins of small stores.

Many store owners only focus on the purchase price of goods but ignore the cost waste in the logistics process: shipping in multiple batches in a scattered manner, excessive packaging to increase volume, unreasonable warehouse planning, and choosing the wrong transportation channels can all cause the overall purchase cost to soar.

This article combinesTaojiyun offers one-stop services for consolidated shipping and purchasing on behalf of customers in TaiwanBreak down a complete cost reduction plan suitable for local small stores in Taiwan, covering the entire process from procurement, warehousing, container consolidation, customs clearance to delivery in Taiwan, and tell small and medium-sized store owners how to reduce cross-border logistics expenses while maintaining a stable supply of goods.

Common pain points for cross-border purchasing by local small stores in Taiwan

1. Multi-platform decentralized procurement, with each batch of goods sent separately, repeatedly incurs the primary cost, resulting in persistently high logistics costs.

2. Some mainland sellers do not support shipping to Taiwan. Individuals cannot place orders. Hiring private purchasing agents is risky and may lead to problems such as concealed quotations and disputes over lost items.

3. The original packaging of the parcel is too thick, resulting in an inflated volumetric weight and unreasonably increasing the consolidated shipping cost.

4. Misplanning of the warehousing cycle led to overtime storage and additional deductions.

5. Large and fragile items lack professional reinforcement when purchased, are damaged during transportation, and the cost of returns and exchanges is high.

6.Unfamiliarity with the customs clearance process and incorrect declaration led to the detention of goods and delayed delivery, which affected the inventory turnover of stores.
