Section 321: The Duty-Free Advantage

One of Prosper Fulfillment’s biggest differentiators is our expertise in Section 321 logistics. This allows eligible shipments under $800 to enter the U.S. duty-free—one shipment per importer per day. Most fulfillment companies can’t offer this, but we’ve built it into our core operations.

The Result: Our clients regularly save an additional 10–25% on international shipments, on top of our baseline 30% operational savings.
