The dedicated line in FBA's first-leg transportation is one of the more popular methods in FBA's first-leg transportation. The FBA dedicated line means that the goods are transported by air to the airport, and the freight forwarder at the port of destination helps with customs clearance and delivery, which runs through the transportation, customs clearance and delivery in several designated countries/regions.
What we are going to learn about today is the FBA dedicated line. Let’s take a look at the FBA dedicated line process.
1. Air freight
The goods are transported by air to the destination. It should be noted that mainland airports generally prohibit cargo with batteries from being loaded on board, but magnetic cargo can be loaded on board. Magnetic cargo requires a magnetic inspection report at the airport. Therefore, products with batteries are generally exported from Hong Kong airlines. The timeliness of air transport has a lot to do with whether you choose a direct flight or a connecting flight. The timeliness stability of a direct flight is higher than that of a connecting flight. Especially during the peak season in the second half of the year, the timeliness of connecting flights will drop sharply.
2. Customs clearance at destination
Taking the United States as an example, customs clearance in the United States requires a customs clearance company and an importer under the name of a trading company as a carrier to clear the goods. The customs clearance process takes about 1-2 working days. Occasionally, you may encounter special inspections, such as checking whether the goods are infringing, whether they have corresponding qualification certificates, such as FCC certification, FDA certification, etc. Is there a mark of origin? Once the goods have been cleared, they will be shipped to their destination as normal.
3. Destination transfer
After arriving in a certain country, destination delivery is generally divided into truck delivery and delivery by local express companies such as FEDEX/UPS. The advantages of truck delivery are: lower average cost and large loading capacity, but it also has disadvantages: you need to make an appointment with the Amazon warehouse in advance before delivery, the delivery time is slower, and the POD signature receipt takes a long time to come back. The advantages of express delivery are: no appointment required (provided that such express companies are officially recognized by Amazon), relatively fast delivery time, and the disadvantage is that the price is relatively high.
However, these three processes can be contracted out to service providers, with professionals helping to solve professional problems.
