Shopping
on overseas websites is convenient for consumers, but did you know how a DHL
customer with an online retail business benefits from our Customs Services when
they ship to their recipients?
 The
ability to quickly buy several items from different shopping portals and
receive them as one consolidated shipment is the reason why many people turn
to online resellers. These shipments often contain different products and
when passing through customs they are subject to a surcharge called
Multi-Line Entry.People who shop on the Internet will often order multiple items at once from different retailers. In order to maximize speed and efficiency, an online reseller can put these items together into one shipment, thereby saving shipping costs for the end recipient. This means that the ability to send multi-item shipments benefits your online-reseller customer. Customs clearance of shipments with many different items is known as Multi-Line Entry. DHL applies a surcharge to shipments with more than five declared line items because they are more complicated to process. Many online resellers prefer to pay all delivery charges (DTP) – including customs services such as Multi-Line Entry – themselves. Make sure they know about these charges when selling international consolidated shipments. |
