As is well known, overseas warehouses provide numerous cross-border sellers with overseas local warehousing and various services. Among them, there is a package shipping service, FBA transportation, label replacement, and so on. Today, we will focus on explaining the operation of label replacement, one of our main businesses!


 
What is an exchange label?
 
There are many types of exchange labels, and here we will share the first leg exchange label. Exchange label refers to the need to re label packages in cross-border logistics due to different transportation requirements of different countries and transportation companies. Correct labeling is a crucial step in the transportation process of overseas warehouses, which can reduce the probability of package loss or damage and improve the accuracy and speed of package delivery. This identifier is a barcode that records all the attribute values of the product. For example, a series of information related to the product, such as size, color, weight, brand, etc.
 
During the complete initial labeling and label replacement process, the original express delivery note or transportation label needs to be torn off and a express delivery note or transportation label that meets the transportation requirements of the destination country needs to be pasted. The most common way is for goods sent to Amazon FBA overseas warehouses to be labeled with SKUs according to the receiving warehouse's standards, making it easy to quickly arrange for them to be put on shelves for sale upon arrival at the warehouse.
 
How to correctly exchange labels?
 
The correct exchange label can reduce the probability of package loss or damage, and improve the accuracy and speed of package delivery. The following are the steps for proper labeling:
 
1. Stick a label on the outside of the package, indicating the sender and receiver information, as well as product information such as the weight and size of the package
 
2. Attach a tracking number and barcode on the label for the shipping company to track and identify.
 
3. Attach a label to the maximum visible area of the package to ensure that the shipping company can quickly identify and process the package.
 
4. Be careful to avoid blurry or obstructed information on the label, so that the shipping company can correctly identify and process the package.
 
However, labeling is not actually a simple task. The transportation requirements of different countries vary, and merchants need to be familiar with customs, taxes, laws and regulations of each country in order to correctly fill out the express delivery form or transportation label. Moreover, prices and service quality vary among different countries and transportation companies. Choosing high-quality overseas warehouses and freight forwarding companies can save a lot of costs.
