Cross-border commerce is online trade in which seller and customer are located in different countries. Intra-EU selling and shipping goods into or out of the EU are not identical situations: VAT and customs arrangements can differ.[1] Language, preferred payment methods and local buying habits may also require adaptation.[2]
A Dutch merchant entering another market should assess more than translated product titles. Work through the delivery promise, return route and total costs for each destination. An order may add revenue while contributing less because of transport, currency conversion or return costs. Compare markets on a consistent basis rather than judging expansion solely by order counts.
