US returns and the next action

What should be confirmed before a customer returns goods?

Confirm the return authorisation, actual receiving address, order reference, packing requirements and who pays the agreed charges. Avoid sending goods to an unconfirmed address.

What can happen after a return reaches US partner warehouse?

Agree the receiving and condition records, then provide your authorised next action. Restocking, repacking, repair coordination, redistribution, clearance or supplier return require a confirmed scope and costs.

Can stock be sent from the US back to a Chinese supplier?

We can discuss a US-to-China return plan. Share the goods, original records and supplier authorisation so the receiving, export, import and cost responsibilities can be reviewed before release.

Does a refund mean the returned item is available stock?

Keep the payment decision separate from physical receipt and restocking. Match the return to its order, record the condition and hold it apart from available stock until the merchant approves the next action under the agreed inspection and handling scope.

How should we compare restocking, repair or returning goods to the supplier?

Compare options for the same SKU, condition and quantity using expected recovery value and the remaining inspection, handling, storage and transport costs. Confirm supplier credit and provider acceptance instead of assuming them. Record unknown values, the next review time and the merchant approval before releasing work; keep the customer refund decision separate.

Release US stock back to a Chinese supplier

What should a supplier confirm before US stock is returned?

Obtain written receiving approval for the listed goods and quantities, a return reference, the actual receiving address and the Chinese declaration contact. Agree who owns the goods and pays each transport and handling charge.

Does writing returned goods on an invoice settle duty treatment?

The wording alone does not determine the applicable treatment. Ask the Chinese declaration party to assess the goods, original export records, return reason and procedure. Confirm US export and Chinese import responsibilities separately before release.

What should authorise the warehouse to release a supplier return?

Keep the stock owner’s approval with the final SKU, batch and quantity list, packed measurements, receiving instructions, agreed documentation and transport booking. Hold unresolved goods or records for review instead of releasing against an incomplete return note.
