A SME specializing in sportswear faced the challenge of complex EU compliance requirements for textiles and unstable supply chains significantly squeezing their margins. The client struggled with high storage costs due to delivery delays and unreliable quality control with their Chinese manufacturing partners. Before the collaboration, there was a lack of an efficient interface to proactively mitigate customs risks and logistical hurdles.
Import4u implemented a customized compliance audit to pre-verify all imported goods against EU textile labeling regulations. By integrating pre-shipment inspections, the rejection rate was massively reduced. In addition, logistics were restructured via optimized consolidated container routes to minimize empty runs and accelerate customs processes. The client benefited from an end-to-end digital tracking process and direct on-site support from our Chinese agents.
By optimizing the entire supply chain, costs per shipment were significantly reduced. The quality of the goods increased through on-site inspections, which improved the sales return rate by 15%. As a result, the importer was able to optimize inventory management and drastically shorten delivery times to the end customer.
