The profitability of your online sales is under pressure. With the application of the €3 flat-rate tax per item on Distance Sales of Imported Goods (DSIG), every parcel shipped from a third country directly eats into your margins. For e-merchants, the status quo is no longer an option.

The solution to regain control? Switching from a ship-on-demand model to a local storage strategy.

The alternative to the DSIG model

By shifting your flows towards bulk import in France, you radically change your tax status. By clearing your goods locally before putting them on sale, you transform your operations:

  • Elimination of the flat-rate tax: Bulk importing allows you to avoid the €3 surcharge applied to individual parcels under the DSIG regime.
  • Reduced lead times: Your products are already in the country. The customer promise is strengthened by fast delivery, a major conversion lever.
  • Supply chain control: You move from a fragmented flow to a unified supply chain, from import to secure storage.
