Vestiaire Collective uses Descartes Customs Info
Descartes Systems Group, a global provider in uniting logistics-intensive businesses in commerce, has announced that Vestiaire Collective, a global community-driven platform for desirable pre-owned fashion, is using the cloud-based Descartes Customs Info solution to support classification determinations and reduce duty spending as it expands international ecommerce operations outside of Europe.
“With a substantially growing catalogue, we wanted to expand beyond the borders of the EU,” explained Charles Bellois, director of operations at Vestiaire Collective. “Until now, our fixed-price operating model has prevented us from opening up certain countries to e-commerce. Thanks to Descartes Customs Info and the precise landed cost calculations it allows, our catalogue is now available in 21 new countries such as South Africa, Brazil, Malaysia, the Philippines, Qatar, Taiwan and the United Arab Emirates.” (mw)
