A recent report by ePost Global highlights how increasing tariff regulations are significantly disrupting international ecommerce operations. With stricter customs enforcement and rising classification complexity, retailers are now facing higher risks and costs when shipping globally. Here's what you need to know:
ePost’s analysis of 15.6 million shipments revealed that 73% of product categories now fall under tariff-sensitive classifications, sharply up from prior years.
42% of shipment value comes from high-complexity items like apparel, luxury goods, and electronics, all under heavy customs scrutiny and tighter enforcement.
Errors in HS codes, product descriptions, or declared values can result in delays, penalties, or up to 25% in extra tariffs, making documentation accuracy a top priority.
Global customs authorities are enforcing de minimis limits more strictly, closing loopholes and making formerly routine shipments a high-risk liability.
Retailers can reduce tariff exposure through value-based shipping, product consolidation, and tightening control over key documentation areas to protect margins and ensure faster clearance.
Brands serving global audiences will need guidance on tariff planning and scalable infrastructure. Here are a few of the fast-growing brands, identified by Charm's Growth Score, that ship globally.
