How e-commerce facilitators benefit when working with Livingston e-Commerce
Merchants need you more than ever
Here's why
Declining Consumption
Painful and costly returns process
Slow deliveries
Lacking infrastructure
Meeting their needs is about to get much harder
E-commerce revenue amongst U.S. merchants is projected to grow from $1.2 trillion in 2024 to $1.6 trillion by 2027, an increase of 35%.
Globally, B2C e-commerce revenue is expected to grow from $3.6 trillion in 2024 to $5.5 trillion by 2027, a 14.4% compound annual growth rate.
Inflation and other economic factors are constraining discretionary spending while rising costs eat into merchants' margins.
21% of consumers abandon online orders due to slow deliveries; merchants need providers who can expedite shipping and clearance.
Consumers want free and easy returns, but merchants' narrow margins can't withstand the cost. They need a partner who can take the financial and processing pain out of reverse logistics.
Traditional retailers lack IT infrastructure and security, warehousing fulfillment and logistics capacity. They need your support.
That means scaling up at lightning speed. But most cross-border partners don't have the tech infrastructure or the expertise to support that effort. Or that pace. That's where we come in.

Release via customs broker means shipments are processed at a container freight station (CFS), reducing reliance on Express Consignment Carrier Facilities (ECCFs), which are not only more expensive because they have an on-site customs official, they're also much fewer in number. With a CFS you get:
Better access to air freight from key points of origin for e-commerce goods
Easier and faster processing of returns, reducing the need for goods to be destroyed at merchants' cost
Shave days off shipping and dollars off transactions., sending parcels to last-mile faster and more cost effectively. At no extra cost.
Bottom line?
Shorter waits than at ECCFs where customs officers are required.
Lower risk of non-compliance means lower risk of additional and unncessary customs scrutiny and lower costs.
Consistent customs compliance for regulated and non-regulated goods, reducing delays and need for repeated release processes.
Expedited release process
Merchants save money on duties and taxes, and save time with fewer border delays. You get happier customers.
The technology does the work; you get the credit.
Bottom line?
Container Freight Stations allow advanced entry to be facilitated through API or EDI integration with your systems, rather than on-site customs officer. Goods falling under Section 321 and Entry Type 86 get cleared at "wheels up" using sophisticated customs compliance technology. Issues with documentation get identified by customs experts and corrected before they reach the U.S.
Professional service leveraging unparalleled customs expertise to prevent post-entry issues, especially with regulated goods.
Immediate resolution of issues causing delays, preventing lost time in transit
Around the clock access to experts
Merchants are no longer subjected to unexplained and unexpected delays. They meet their service-delivery commitments and know they can rely on you to get the job done.
Bottom line?
One of the biggest challenges e-commerce platforms and consolidators encounter is resolving border delays in a seamless manner. We offer a dedicated team of real-life compliance experts enabled by advanced technology that allows for real-time validation. That means that when goods are stuck at the border, a member of the support team can investigate and resolve the issue quickly, leveraging enhanced visibility.
