When is it necessary to use international warehouses?

December 16, 2022

The reality of international sales is that global shipping costs are growing year after year. Having international warehouse space means reducing both shipping costs and shipping times, giving you an advantage with a positive customer experience in an increasingly competitive delivery market.

But setting up international warehouses can be more complex than setting up multiple storefronts or global marketing campaigns. Not only will you face different rules and regulations in each country, but also potential language barriers and cultural differences.

That's why working with a 3PL company in an international warehouse will optimize your global logistics capabilities while helping you optimize your supply chain. Using 3PL and an international warehouse means you'll reduce the cost of tariffs on your products when they are shipped locally, which should make it easier for you to ship internationally.

For the most part, warehouses that are set up internationally will be located in global trading centers. . No matter where your headquarters and manufacturing are located, strategically placed warehouses allow you to easily cross the borders of Asia, Europe and North America.

The hard part of the setup revolves around finding a good partner and choosing the right location.
