The final mile of the wholesale process—international shipping—can be fraught with complexity, from customs delays and unexpected duties to issues of secure transport. For large-volume silver jewelry orders, a smooth logistics flow is critical for maintaining inventory timelines and profitability.
3 Major Logistics Challenges
- Customs Documentation: Accurate classification (HS Codes) and precise valuation are essential. Errors here lead to major delays and inspections.
- Security and Insurance: Fine jewelry is a high-value commodity. Orders must be securely packaged and fully insured against loss or damage during international transport.
- Duty and Taxes: Understanding who is responsible for Import Duty and VAT/GST (Incoterms like FOB vs. DDP) must be clarified in the contract.
