An opportunity for sellers? Brazilian e-commerce company Americanas expands imports of Chinese products

Brazilian e-commerce company Americanas will begin helping sellers on its platform import products from China, according to local media reports .

It is understood that Brazilian e-commerce company Americanas will expand its cross-border trade business and will provide import services to sellers on its platform. With more than 20 years of experience in importing products from China and developing its own brands, Americanas will play a role in international logistics, commercial support and making products comply with Brazilian laws .

The goal of the program is to promote the accelerated development of sellers on the Americanas platform , diversify their products and ensure inventory turnover. This is the third major move by Americanas in foreign trade this year. In July this year , Americanas opened its first Chinese office in Hong Kong. A month ago, the company began operating direct flights from China to Brazil, five times a week, reducing the delivery time of some categories of imported products from 21 days to 11 days.

Welington Souza, Director of Americanas Logistics Platform, said, “Based on our survey of partners, we learned that most sellers on the platform are interested in importing products but don’t know where to start . Due to lack of knowledge and other difficulties, such as language issues , a large number of sellers can only purchase products from other importers without guaranteeing the quality of the goods and the specific delivery time .”

“Americanas has decades of expertise in developing private label products. We are able to use our knowledge to fill gaps for our clients and grow their businesses , ” added Welington.

In addition to playing a role in all stages of the international logistics process for imported products, such as order placement, transportation and delivery, Americanas will also provide product quality control and consulting services to partners on the platform . Help them develop exclusive products, find suppliers and new products in China . For those companies that already have suppliers in China , they can still sign a complete logistics contract with Americanas to guarantee delivery time in Brazil .

Americanas ' business in China will continue to expand. By the end of this year, the company will open its second Asian office in Shenzhen, China. It is expected to transport more than 8,000 containers of cargo in 2021. In the future, Americanas intends to expand the scale of air transportation to bring more products of various types from China to the platform .
