When operating a cross-border e-commerce business, understanding tax policies is essential for managing your finances and avoiding unnecessary risks. This article provides a comprehensive overview of sales tax, value-added tax (VAT), and customs duties to help you stay compliant.

Tax Information for DropSure Orders

On the DropSure order page, the price you see (i.e., product cost + shipping fee) is the total amount you’ll need to pay. We do not charge any additional hidden fees or platform service fees.

Please note:
As the merchant, you are fully responsible for the final sales transaction. This means any taxes related to the sale—such as sales tax or VAT—should be declared and paid by you, since you are collecting the full payment from the customer.
All invoices and billing documents can be downloaded from the “Billing” section of your account dashboard for accounting or tax filing purposes.

About Sales Tax

Sales tax policies vary significantly by country and region. We strongly recommend consulting with a professional tax advisor to ensure your tax handling complies with the laws of your operating regions.

While the DropSure team is always happy to assist, please understand that we are not qualified to offer formal tax advice. To avoid legal or financial risk, it’s best to rely on certified accountants or tax professionals.

About VAT (Value-Added Tax)

DropSure does not handle or remit VAT on your behalf under any circumstances. This means:

  • If your country or region requires merchants to collect VAT, you must handle the declaration and remittance directly with your local tax authorities.

  • From the customer’s perspective, orders are delivered directly to their door without requiring additional VAT payments or being held for customs clearance, as our supply chain is optimized to minimize such delays or complications.

About Customs Duties & Import Taxes

DropSure does not manage customs duties. The product prices shown on the platform do not include any customs duties or import taxes, as these depend on the regulations of the destination country.

  • If the supplier ships domestically, some may include applicable taxes in their pricing.

  • For international orders, customers may be charged customs or import fees upon delivery.

  • Therefore, we recommend clearly informing customers in your product descriptions or checkout pages that customs fees may apply in certain countries or regions and that they are responsible for such costs.

Here are some official resources to help you stay informed about tax and customs regulations in different countries:

The current cross-border e-commerce market is like a high-speed train, with orders surging every second and the global retail landscape being completely reshaped. In the past five years, this industry has developed from the early “crossing the river by feeling the stones” to today’s “meticulous cultivation”. Countless ordinary people with a computer and a little ingenuity, has doubled their wealth several times. However, behind this prosperity is also full of challenges. Logistics costs have risen 23% in the past two years, and the wave of Amazon store closures has sent many sellers back to the drawing board overnight. In addition, Gen Z’s attention span has become extremely short, with only eight seconds to decide whether a brand can capture their hearts. Sounds a little crazy, right? But it’s in this environment that we see breakthroughs and opportunities for growth, and that’s the key to the success of the Richest Dropshippers. Lessons from the Richest Dropshippers   The Pet Economy Revolution of Toothpaste Dispenser Sellers Andreas Koenig and Alexander Pecka from Germany started out selling ordinary toothpaste dispensers. Until they realized that pet owners were willing to pay $149 for a “smart interactive feeder” – three times the price of a traditional feeder. They quickly turned to pet smarts, launching a crowdfunding campaign through Kickstarter and surpassing $2 million in pre-sales in the first month. Their secret is to upgrade functional consumption to emotional consumption. For example, the subscription-based dog food box not only offers regular delivery service, but also comes with a pet health report and customized collar. This strategy has pushed the repurchase rate to 35%, well above the industry average. Today, their standalone stations are connected to the Klaviyo […]

Before we get into the actual tactics, let’s make sure we understand what SEO really is. SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization, and in simple terms, it means: how to make your store or website easier to find on Google. The higher you rank in search results, the more likely you are to get organic traffic—people who find you by searching, without you spending a dime on ads. This is especially important for dropshipping. Unlike traditional stores that rely on foot traffic or returning customers, dropshipping relies almost entirely on online visibility. Whether people can find your store online basically determines whether you get any orders. Even with a tight budget, SEO can help you build a super cost-effective customer acquisition channel.As more and more people jump into the dropshipping game, just launching a store and waiting for customers to show up is no longer realistic. You need to treat SEO like your fishing rod—casting it out to actively catch traffic. But don’t get it wrong: SEO is not just about stuffing a few keywords. It’s a full strategy, and every part matters. For example: Picking the right keywords so people can actually find you; Clear website structure, so users instantly understand where to go; Valuable, authentic content—not random fluff; Fast-loading pages, so customers don’t get annoyed and leave; External links and social shares—those little “credibility points” that search engines notice.One thing that’s super easy to overlook: Don’t ignore small website issues. Even just a broken page or duplicated title can make search engines think your site is “unprofessional,” which tanks your rankings.Bottom line: SEO isn’t a one-trick hack based on keyword stuffing. It’s about holistic optimization—making your store both […]
