USA e-commerce should really be called international section 321 commerce. Sellers, suppliers and manufacturers are shipping direct to the USA. Jet helps build durable supply chain solutions for e-commerce orders to the USA and Canada.

While there is plenty of hype with regard to the promise of e-commerce, the stress of the change is evident in the financial reporting of major US retailers:

1. International e-commerce is the new frontier

Consumers appear more focused on a new combination of value and convenience which means ordering direct from international sellers, distributors and manufacturers.

Beyond e-commerce of mega retailers such as Amazon, Walmart, Costco andTarget is an entirely new direct to consumer international platforms and marketplaces.

USA retailers are incorporating their physical stores and domestic warehouses into their e-commerce strategy of enabling direct shipping from their suppliers in Asia.

2. E-commerce low profit margins are demanding more direct connections

The economic challenge of retail is being addressed by enabling suppliers to fulfill and airfreight orders directly to strategic ports of entry using Section 321 processes.

Section 321 Entry Types Include:

Express Consignment (CFR Part 128) and Express Facilities (ECCF)

Cargo clearance using express teams (Container Freight Stations/ CFS)

Canada USA Border Clearance

Section 321 Type 86 (via automated broker interface/ ACE)

3. There will be greater interweaving between e-commerce providers and delivery services:

Demand for e-commerce parcel delivery growing at a higher rate than USPS, UPS & FedEx.

The US Postal Service, the leader in low cost parcel delivery, is offering service direct to international services.

USPS Direct Label Access Points Include:

Global Direct Entry

Postal Authority from the origin country

Postal shipping via a Foreign Office of Exchange

Postal Reseller such as Pitney Bowes

Postal Parcel Select Consolidator (including FedEx, UPS and DHL Mail subsidiaries)
