The global consumer electronics market is projected to be worth €1.2 trillion by 2018, with the  Asia-Pacific region (18%), Middle East (17%) and Africa (17%) expected to grow the fastest  (ReportsnReports.com). Demand for PCs, mobiles and other devices is swelling along with the size and aspirations of the middle class in many regions.

The four international e-commerce markets below show that e-commerce potential lies in more emerging economies than just China and India—and that there is still compelling potential in mature economies like Italy.

Hi all, Today I had a very interesting talk with a key account manager at one of our biggest logistics compagnies in Belgium. We at DHL Express Belgium, are positioning ourselves within the e-com marketplace. Networking and cross selling will be a important activity in order to penetrate and look for synergies in  this huge market. Looking at our opportunities today...

Some of our customers (especially large companies) may receive international shipments on a regular basis delivered by several different logistics providers. In this situation they may prefer to have a single customs broker performing all their clearance instead of the carrier. To support this requirement, DHL can initiate the Handover to Broker procedure.

In some countries, local authorities can demand an official declaration of shipments exported from that country. DHL can handle this formality on behalf of a customer. It is known as Export Declaration

When a non-doc shipment is sent to a different country for a limited amount of time (with a guarantee that it will exit this country again), customs duties and taxes don’t need to be paid. DHL can arrange this procedure for a customer.  It is known as Temporary Import/Export .
