CCL has recently helped a Chinese eCommerce platform to successfully expand into the UK market. For this large online retailer, we provided our expertise on cross-border logistics and customs compliance – including VAT consulting and registration, freight forwarding and access to final-mile delivery couriers.
After gaining significant popularity in China, the eCommerce platform aimed to expand internationally to offer their range of products to countries further afield - with the UK anticipated to be a promising market.
Given the complexities from recent VAT-related policy changes in the UK, the company faced a complex logistics landscape and needed a reliable UK-based partner to help them efficiently transport their products without delay or customs complications – and CCL were the ideal company to provide support.
First of all, we provided thee Commerce brand with an expert UK VAT registration consultation – creating an import plan that was tailored to their business model while prioritising customs compliance and cost-effective transport.
We also guided the client through selecting the most suitable air freight solutions, helping them speed up the import handling process for flight arrivals.
To ensure the products reach their final destination in full and on time, we then connected our client with leading final-mile delivery couriers tailored to their needs – all of whom we work closely with.
We also integrated directly with their IT systems, enabling us to provide real-time data tracking for all inbound shipments and develop custom reporting tools – including tailored tax breakdown reports – to support the client’s internal finance and compliance teams.
As such, the feedback from our client has been very positive: “CCL have been instrumental in helping us reach the UK market! From VAT registration to our products arriving at our customers’ doors, CCL’s expertise ensured our cross-border logistics were managed efficiently and effectively”.
