How does direct sourcing work in cross-border e-commerce?
In general, a cross-border e-commerce platform sources products from suppliers in other countries and sells them to consumers in a different market. Direct partnerships with manufacturers can reduce intermediaries in procurement. The products still need to move through international trade, customs processes, storage and local delivery before reaching buyers.
What is a cold chain, and why is it used for perishable goods?
A cold chain is a sequence of temperature-controlled steps used to store and transport products that can spoil or lose quality when exposed to unsuitable temperatures. It may involve refrigerated facilities, vehicles and monitoring systems. Maintaining suitable conditions throughout handling helps protect product quality from its origin through delivery.
