Frequently asked questions.
What is Duties, tax & VAT in ecommerce, and what does the service include?+
Duties, tax & VAT is a services engagement inside our International & Cross-Border practice, focused on avalara · zonos · global-e tax and duty programs. Every duties, tax & vat engagement ships 5 concrete deliverables: Duty + tax strategy; Vendor selection; Checkout integration; Compliance framework; Ongoing review. Everything lives in a shared workspace with a weekly build log, so you see progress in real time rather than waiting for a monthly slide deck.
Which ecommerce brands are duties, tax & vat services the right fit for?+
Our duties, tax & vat service is designed for ecommerce brands ready to expand geographies or channels. If the problem sounds like "a good business trapped in one country or one channel", this engagement is built for it. If you're pre-product-market-fit or under ~$1M in trailing revenue, we'll usually point you to a lighter Sprint or a Diagnostic instead of a full duties, tax & vat retainer.
How much does duties, tax & vat cost, and what are the pricing tiers?+
Three engagement shapes for duties, tax & vat: Sprint (fixed scope, 4–6 weeks — best for a one-question duties, tax & vat audit), Partner (quarterly retainer with weekly ship cadence — the most common shape for duties, tax & vat), and Advisory (fractional, 6 or 12 months). Nothing performance-based — we've seen that misalign incentives every time. Exact pricing depends on scope; you get a written proposal after the intro call.
How long until we see results from duties, tax & vat?+
Market or channel launch inside 90 days. Our target is clean checkout in every market inside the first quarter of the duties, tax & vat engagement, and reduced customs friction that stays with your team afterwards.
What are the main benefits of hiring a duties, tax & vat agency vs. building in-house?+
Speed and pattern recognition. A dedicated duties, tax & vat agency has run the same play across dozens of ecommerce brands, so you skip the 6–12 months of trial-and-error an in-house hire would need. You also avoid fixed headcount cost: the engagement flexes up during launches and down between them.
Who actually runs the duties, tax & vat work, and how is it reported?+
A senior operator owns the duties, tax & vat account end-to-end. No junior AM behind a dashboard, no offshoring. Reporting is tied to revenue per market, wholesale sell-through and cross-channel margin. Every week we publish a build log with what shipped, what the data said, and the next bet. Every month we run a business review against forecast — no vanity metrics, no cherry-picked screenshots.
