What to watch
Many small, low-value consignments move by air express, air freight consolidation or sea LCL for bulk replenishment. Customs de minimis rules and last-mile delivery are the main variables.
Import tax thresholds and de minimis rules differ by country and change often; verify the current rule per destination.
Battery-powered, liquid and cosmetic products can be restricted or classified as dangerous goods in air transport.
Delivery-duty-paid handling needs reliable local clearance partners.
