Hi everyone! What has been your pros and cons for international shipping? Especially with duty and tax rates. Looking to expand our business. Would appreciate all and any feedback!
Hi @SarahTA3 ,
Thanks for getting in touch! International shipping can be a daunting prospect and it usually involves higher prices, rules around customs and duties, as well as other considerations. However, it is of course necessary if you wish to expand your business and begin selling into other markets.
There is an article on the Shopify Blog that addresses this very topic—International Shipping: Everything You Need to Know to Deliver Beyond Your Borders—that I would highly recommend checking out. The article covers developing an international shipping strategy, how to package your orders for international shipping, and many other topics in some great detail.
Please give it a read and let me know if you have any further questions.
Kind regards,
