For eCommerce brands manufacturing in China, the U.S. is often treated as the default logistics hub. But for brands serving customers around the world, routing inventory to the U.S. first can increase costs, create customs friction, and delay fulfillment.
Mayple offers a smarter solution. By routing your inventory through our global logistics hub—strategically located in Dubai—we help brands reduce first-mile costs, avoid unnecessary duties, and fulfill orders worldwide with greater speed and efficiency.
With recent shifts in U.S. trade policy increasing tariffs on many China-origin goods, brands are facing growing penalties for relying on U.S.-based warehouses, even when their customers are located elsewhere.
Here’s how Mayple helps brands avoid these pitfalls and streamline international fulfillment.
1. Avoid Import Duties at the First Mile
When goods from China are sent to the U.S., they are immediately subject to import duties—even if they’re eventually shipped to customers abroad. This creates unnecessary landed costs for inventory that isn’t destined for the U.S. market. Mayple’s global hub allows you to stage inventory duty-free and dispatch globally without taking on those extra charges.
2. Reduce First-Mile Costs and Delivery Time
Sending goods to the U.S. first only to re-export adds significant time and cost:
- Increased shipping and handling fees
- Slower international delivery
Mayple eliminates that inefficiency. Your inventory is positioned closer to demand and fulfilled directly to customers worldwide, reducing transit time and improving your margins.
3. Centralized Inventory, Global Reach
Mayple enables you to store inventory in a single, efficient location while serving customers globally. That means:
- No need to split stock across multiple fulfillment centers
- Reduced warehousing overhead
- Faster entry into new markets with minimal setup
With centralized control, your operations stay agile and responsive.
4. Fast, Cost-Efficient Last-Mile Shipping
Mayple connects your inventory to a global network of trusted last-mile carriers. Our platform intelligently selects the best shipping option for each order—based on speed, cost, and reliability—so you don’t have to manage multiple regional providers. We handle:
- Carrier selection and routing
- Customs documentation and labeling
- Full visibility and tracking through delivery
The result: a better delivery experience for your customers, and fewer logistics headaches for your team.
As global trade becomes more complex and costly, brands need more control, more flexibility, and less friction. Mayple provides exactly that—enabling you to avoid unnecessary duties, cut first-mile waste, and scale globally with ease.
