Core concepts

TODO: DDP vs DDU trade-offs (landed cost transparency, liability shift), carrier-choice framework (weight / speed / destination / DDP capability), customs document prep (商業發票、包裝明細、原產地證明), label standards per carrier, returns friction and cost structure. NOTE: HS-code classification, de minimis thresholds, and duty/VAT rates belong in tw-ecom-compliance-cross-border — do not duplicate here.

Decision tree

TODO: carrier by destination / weight / speed / DDP preference.

Implementation guidance

TODO: customs doc prep, label generation, tracking reconciliation.

Gotchas

TODO: 5-6 pitfalls (HS misclassification, DDP total cost shock, returns black hole, restricted-items list, FTZ vs general customs).

IRON LAW

TODO.
