different supplier for EU and US customers?

[topyam]

Hi everyone! I'm setting up a store here and if I only use a US supplier, customers in the EU and other international locations will have to pay import taxes and duties. Does anyone have multiple suppliers of the same products that they use depending on where in the world the customer ordering is?

Hello! Yes, it's quite common for businesses to have multiple suppliers based on the location of their customers. This approach can help reduce shipping costs, import taxes, and delivery times for international customers. Here are a few strategies you can consider:

1. Local Suppliers: Look for suppliers based in different regions or countries where you have a significant customer base. This can help you avoid import taxes and reduce shipping costs Lacelebrite.fr .

2. Dropshipping: Partner with suppliers who offer dropshipping services. This way, you can have suppliers in different regions fulfill orders for customers in those areas directly, cutting down on shipping distances and potential taxes.
