How brands deliver internationally in under 3 days
Brands deliver internationally in under three days by simplifying cross-border infrastructure into a single automated workflow. Electronic data transmission pre-validates customs, accurate HS classification and landed-cost calculation enable DDP, and standardized labels cut handling time. SLA-based routing selects express air lanes and regional hubs, while synchronized warehouse cutoffs meet carrier departures. Centralized tracking and exception resolution keep parcels moving, reducing handoffs and clearance variability to achieve predictable, rapid delivery across borders.
FAQ
### What parts of cross-border infrastructure should I simplify first to hit under-three-day delivery?
Automate electronic customs data (EDI), ensure precise HS classification, calculate landed costs and use DDP, standardize labels/documents, synchronize warehouse cutoffs to express departures, and leverage regional hubs.
### Is DDP required for fast international delivery?
Not mandatory, but prepaying duties and taxes with DDP removes last-mile collection and brokerage holds, making customs predictable and significantly reducing clearance and delivery variability.
### How do regional fulfillment hubs speed up cross-border shipping?
They place inventory near key lanes, shorten air transit, align operations with local express networks, and provide earlier clearance windows, enabling on-time delivery within two to three days.
### Does address validation really impact customs speed?
Yes. Clean, standardized addresses reduce data mismatches, prevent rework and misroutes, and limit exceptions that can trigger inspections or returns, keeping parcels moving through clearance.
