Why international brands move inventory into the US
Since August 29, 2025, low-value parcels entering the United States no longer qualify for duty-free de minimis treatment, from any country. Every parcel a brand ships to a US customer from abroad now goes through formal or informal entry, with duties and fees on each package.
Moving inventory into a US warehouse changes how and when duty is paid: goods are imported in bulk, with one customs entry per inbound shipment, and US orders then ship domestically. It does not remove duty on foreign goods, and the right approach depends on your products, values and volumes, so confirm the details with a licensed customs broker.
Domestic delivery also means US carriers, US tracking, no duty surprises at the door for your customers, and a US address for returns.

New Jersey, California or both
Our New Jersey fulfillment center in East Hanover sits in the New York and New Jersey metro area, close to the Northeast and the busiest container port on the US East Coast, a natural landing point for freight from Europe, Turkey and India. Our California fulfillment center in Rialto is close to the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, a natural landing point for freight from Asia, Australia and New Zealand. Many brands split inventory between the two coasts.
Frequently asked questions
Can a company outside the US use YouParcel for US fulfillment?
Yes. Brands headquartered anywhere can store inventory in our New Jersey and California fulfillment centers and ship to US customers. Talk to an expert about your products, channels and volumes.
Does YouParcel act as importer of record?
No. Your company, a US entity or a third-party importer of record service stays responsible for the import. YouParcel provides freight forwarding and customs brokerage for your inbound shipments.
Do I still pay US duties if my inventory is in a US warehouse?
Yes. Duties apply to foreign goods when they are imported. Importing in bulk changes how and when duty is paid compared with shipping each parcel from abroad. Check your rates with a licensed customs broker.
Should I choose New Jersey or California?
New Jersey is close to the Northeast and the Port of New York and New Jersey; California is close to the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach and to Asia-Pacific supply. Many brands split inventory between both.
Which sales channels can you fulfill?
Direct-to-consumer stores such as Shopify, marketplaces such as Amazon, and retail and wholesale orders, through 70+ platform integrations and EDI.
