The 5-Step Shapiro Program
First Step: Email us at ecomm@shapiro.com with details about your shipment and the E-commerce shipping services you’d want to use. Their staff will get in touch with you to assist you in getting started and will also give you useful materials like our “Welcome Package”!
Step 2: Ask for a Quotation To get an estimate for our e-commerce shipping services, fill out our quote request form. Their clever automated form gathers all the information required to provide you a detailed pricing estimate for our e-commerce shipping solutions.
Product classification step three: In order to ascertain the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS number), tax rate, and particular import restrictions that relate to your E-commerce shipping, their top-notch compliance staff will classify your products.
Shapiro typically charges $10 per product classification (Shapiro is happy to provide a cost estimate for a large product catalogue upon request). Your Shapiro representative will need to comprehend what your product is, its composition, the country of origin, and will also need access to a picture of or link to the product in order to properly process the request. This will enable them to offer you the most effective and affordable E-commerce logistics solutions.
Step 4: Finish Import Setup Each nation has its own unique import criteria that must be met in order to comply with national laws. This is true of both commercial cargo shipping and e-commerce shipping. Shapiro is pleased to help you with this setup as your dependable E-commerce shipping partner. Before they can legally handle any of your e-commerce shipment, you must complete Power of Attorney and Terms and Conditions papers with Shapiro and ensure that you have complied with the import regulations in your destination country.
Step 5: Complete the pre-booking checklist provided by Shapiro: They will gather your Customs entry paperwork and handle your shipment at this point in our E-commerce shipping services in order to create your Shapiro invoice. They will give you a credit application if you want to establish credit terms with us. If not, a link to our online payment site will be provided for you to finish the transaction.
