Challenges in delivery include "risk of product damage"
Posted: Wed Feb 19, 2025 4:05 am
To ship a product overseas, it must go through customs procedures (creating an invoice), payment of customs duties and local consumption tax, etc. If this customs clearance is not completed, the product cannot be exported or imported. Furthermore, even when it comes to delivery, there are risks such as the reliability of overseas delivery, such as the product being damaged during delivery or not reaching the purchaser.
When sending parcels overseas, the most common services used are Japan Post EMS, Yamato, Sagawa, FedEx, DHL, UPS, etc. Although these delivery systems are highly reliable, in order to reduce delivery risks as much as possible, it is a good idea to use the services listed below that provide integrated management from product shipment, customs clearance, and delivery to the consumer.

Summary
The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry's "White uae whatsapp data Paper on International Trade 2017" also includes information on the size of the global cross-border e-commerce market. The figures show that the
global cross-border e-commerce market exceeded 500 billion dollars (approximately 5.6 trillion yen) in 2017, and will reach approximately 1 trillion dollars (112 trillion yen) in 2020. (See the graph at the top.)
Cross-border e-commerce offers great business opportunities for overseas sales, but it may be an unknown territory for many Japanese store owners.
However, considering the current population problems facing Japan, such as a declining birthrate and aging population, and the economic problem of things not selling, it can be said that overseas sales and overseas expansion are an area that should be tackled.
As stated in the "White Paper on International Trade 2017," it is true that cross-border e-commerce has many barriers, such as payment risks, delivery risks, and even language and local laws. However, if we give up on cross-border e-commerce here, we cannot expect future development. First of all, it is wise to make sufficient plans, preparations, and research, and proceed steadily, one step at a time.
Live Commerce provides support for questions and inquiries about cross-border e-commerce.
In addition, the Japan Small and Medium Enterprise Agency and the Japan Cross-border and Domestic E-commerce Agency also provide free consultation services, so we recommend consulting them if you have any questions.
