Faire now offers Faire-funded import duties on all international orders for retailers that are based in the U.S. and Europe. Earlier this year, Faire launched across 15 Europe and United Kingdom markets and continues to offer a cross-border trade platform for small businesses during a critical time.

The new initiative of Faire-funded import duties on all international orders for retailers based in the U.S. and Europe. “In a continued effort to remove barriers within the global independent retail community, today Faire has announced Faire-funded import duties on all international orders for retailers based in the U.S. and Europe,” Faire noted in its recent blog post.

Faire has been able to to help retailers save almost $6 million in a few months by funding free import duties, as well as international shipping in Europe. Beginning Oct. 28, 2021, Faire will extend this special offer to all U.S. retailers, which in turn will allow “hundreds of thousands of independent retailers in Faire’s community to stock products from around the world, at no additional cost to them.”

“For the first time, independent retailers across the U.S. and Europe will be empowered to access unique global products without the added expenses that cross-border trade can introduce. Stocking a diverse inventory selection, like leather goods from Italy or bath soaps from Provence, provides local retailers an even greater opportunity to compete against big-box stores by appealing to consumers seeking differentiated products,” Faire stated.

Faire strives to alleviate retailer uncertainty around international costs with its funding efforts and stated that “emerging brands will benefit from unlocking cross-border trade in a way that has yet to be achieved within the wholesale industry.”
