B2B2C: The Most Cost-Efficient, Compliant, and Scalable Route to the US Market

The Situation

With the removal of the $800 de minimis threshold, every US import is now subject to duty. For retailers selling DTC, duties are charged on the retail price: inflating costs, squeezing margins, and forcing price hikes that erode shopper trust. 

The Solution

ESW flips the equation. We import at wholesale value through our US entity as Importer of Record. Import duties and tariffs are calculated based on wholesale value, not the retail price – reducing landed costs by up to 60% while keeping the customer experience seamless.

$60 or $24?

That’s the B2B2C difference.
