FAQs
When is the right time for a DTC brand to start selling internationally?
If your brand is growing steadily in your home market and getting interest from overseas shoppers, it’s the perfect time to expand. Passport helps you test new markets with low lift, transparent pricing, and scalable solutions built for brands of any size.
Does Passport integrate with Shopify or other ecommerce platforms?
es. Passport integrates seamlessly with Shopify, BigCommerce, Woo, and custom-built ecommerce platforms. Our team handles onboarding in as little as 2–4 weeks, so you can start shipping globally with minimal disruption to your existing tech stack.
How do I sell internationally from my Shopify store?
Start by enabling international checkout and choosing a trusted partner like Passport. We can integrate directly with Shopify, localize your checkout, calculate duties and taxes upfront, and ensure your orders ship compliantly and efficiently worldwide.
How can ecommerce brands expand globally without building local operations?
Going global doesn’t have to mean setting up offices or warehouses overseas. With Passport, you can sell to customers in 190+ markets while we handle the heavy lifting — cross-border shipping, compliance, in-country fulfillment, and localized checkout. You focus on growth; we make international simple.
How can I make checkout duty-inclusive for international customers?
Duty-inclusive checkout means customers see the total landed cost (product + shipping + duties/taxes) before purchasing. Passport’s checkout technology calculates and collects these costs upfront, improving transparency and reducing abandoned carts at checkout.
What global shipping options does Passport offer?
Passport allows you to choose between Economy (5-10 business days), Priority (4-8 business days), Expedited (2-5 business days), and in some geographies, Express (1-3 business days). Cost and tracking varies by method.
What are the main markets that Passport helps brands ship to?
Passport helps brands reach customers in over 190 countries around the world. The most popular markets that we help brands reach includes:
- United States
- Canada
- United Kingdom
- European Union
- Australia
- New Zealand
While these are the most popular markets because they are easiest to expand into, Passport can work with you to reach shoppers in nearly any country worldwide.
What is Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) Shipping?
Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) is a shipping model where the seller covers all duties, taxes, and import fees before delivery, so the customer pays nothing extra upon receipt. Passport offers DDP to over 180 countries, helping brands eliminate surprise costs, increase conversion rates, and improve the customer experience.
Does Passport provide DDU and DDP options?
Yes, Passport offers Delivered Duties Unpaid and Delivered Duties Paid methods. Priority DDP is recommended for most medium-value products, while Priority DDU may be better for lower-value products.
What is the difference between Passport Shipping and Passport Global?
Passport Shipping is our menu of in-house logistics services including global shipping, branded tracking pages, a limited scope of compliance services, and optional incremental services like landed duty & tax calculations and Passport Seller of Record®.

Does Passport provide door-to-door tracking?
Does Passport provide compliance services?

What is Passport’s Seller of Record® Program?
Passport’s Seller of Record® (SOR) solution is designed to give brands a simpler way to handle VAT/GST compliance with a quick and seamless enrollment process. Under the SOR® program, companies will use Passport’s tax IDs to clear shipments, avoiding complex registrations and filings. As a merchant, you’ll simply collect VAT/GST at checkout, and Passport will manage the rest, including tax returns with the proper authorities and even monitoring sales thresholds that apply to certain countries.
Passport currently offers SOR® solutions in the following markets:
What carriers and 3PLs does Passport integrate with?
Passport connects with 170+ 3PLs and major global carriers to give you flexibility and coverage wherever you ship. We work closely with trusted partners like Capacity, ShipBob, Flexport, Bergen, and more to accelerate your international growth.
How can I migrate from my current cross-border provider to Passport?
Switching to Passport is fast and supported. Our implementation team handles everything — from migrating tax and duty settings to syncing order flows and shipping labels — so you can transition smoothly without downtime.
Can Passport handle both international and domestic fulfillment?
Yes. Through our in-country fulfillment network, we help brands store and ship inventory locally in key markets like the US, UK, EU, Mexico, and Canada — cutting transit times and eliminating unnecessary customs steps
What does “in-country enablement” mean, and how does Passport make it easy for brands?
In‑country enablement refers to setting up local fulfillment—storing inventory within markets like the U.S., Canada, the UK, EU, Australia, or Mexico—to ship domestically, reduce costs, and deliver faster. Passport handles every step, from inventory imports and in-country warehousing to returns processing, local payments, and compliance (like VAT/GST and labeling). That means you can deliver like a local—without needing a local entity or navigating complex regulations yourself.
Can I keep control of my brand’s checkout and payments while selling internationally?
Absolutely. Unlike other providers, Passport doesn’t take over your storefront or process your payments. You stay in control of your brand experience, customer data, and checkout flow — while we handle shipping, duties, and compliance on the back end.
