CargoWise eCommerce Integration: Handling High-Volume Parcel and DDP Shipments

eCommerce shipping runs on different rules than traditional freight — far higher volume, lower value per shipment, and different customs treatment. Here's how CargoWise handles it.

Key takeaways

CargoWise's eCommerce capability is built for high-volume, low-value shipments, distinct from standard cargo workflows.
Low-value de minimis processing simplifies customs handling for eligible parcels.
Integration with marketplaces and carriers is essential given the transaction volume involved.
DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) workflows need accurate landed costing at the point of sale.

Why eCommerce needs different handling

A single container shipment might generate one customs entry; an eCommerce operation can generate thousands of individual parcel entries a day. CargoWise's eCommerce (low-value de minimis) capability is built specifically for that volume and simplified customs treatment, rather than forcing high-volume parcels through standard cargo workflows.

Integration with marketplaces and carriers

At eCommerce volume, manual entry isn't viable — integration with the originating marketplace or platform, and with last-mile carriers, needs to be automated end to end for order, customs, and delivery data to stay in sync.

DDP and landed cost accuracy

For Delivered Duty Paid shipments, the duty and tax shown to the customer at checkout has to match what's actually collected at the border — which means landed costing needs to be accurate and current, not estimated.
