Cross-Border Logistics

Cross-border logistics refers to the end-to-end process of shipping, storing, and fulfilling products across international borders, including customs clearance, duties, and compliance. For Amazon sellers, this is crucial for tapping into global markets, where cross-border e-commerce is projected to reach $1.21 trillion in B2C sales by 2025. Amazon streamlines this through integrated programs like Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) Export, Amazon Global Logistics (AGL), and Supply Chain by Amazon, reducing complexity for sellers without local infrastructure. Enhancements focus on AI-driven optimizations, sustainability (e.g., lower-carbon routing), and expanded EU access, amid challenges like intensified border scrutiny and rising costs. Below, I’ll cover Amazon’s native options, third-party integrations, and practical tips.
