OpenBorder helps apparel brands sell in 180+ countries — with the shipping, returns, and compliance built specifically for the way fashion sells globally. Live in 2 weeks.











































International growth. Built for apparel.
Selling apparel internationally has its own dynamics — return-heavy categories, multi-SKU complexity, sizing differences, duty rates by fabric. We've built for all of it.
Returns are part of how apparel sells. We've made them work.
Apparel has return rates of 25–50% — the highest of any category. We fixed the operational side so returns stop being the reason brands hesitate to scale globally.
Local hubs across UK, CA, EU, AU.
Customers return locally. Inventory back to sellable, fast.

Cheaper returns. Better experience.
Local processing means cheaper returns,and a return experience that matches the buying one.

Multiple options for returned inventory.
Restock locally. Consolidate to your home warehouse. Or destroy unsellable units. You choose.

How THE PERFECT JEAN went global

After moving to OpenBorder, The Perfect Jean expanded into new international markets without operational drag. Customers see predictable landed costs at checkout. Delivery is faster. Conversion in cross-border markets is higher than before. Duties, taxes, and compliance are automated end-to-end.

Frequently asked questions
How does OpenBorder handle the high return rates in apparel?
We've built local return hubs across UK, Canada, Europe, and Australia. Your international customer ships their return locally — not back to your home country. Cost per return drops, inventory gets back into stock faster, and customers get a return experience that matches your domestic one.
What about size and fit issues that drive most apparel returns?
Returns are part of how apparel sells — that's not going away. What changes with OpenBorder is what returns cost you and how fast you process them. We also support delivery promise, accurate sizing communication, and DDP checkout — all of which help customers buy with more confidence upfront, reducing return anxiety.
Do I need to stock inventory in every international market?
No. Apparel brands have high SKU counts, and stocking everything everywhere is risky and expensive. Most brands start with cross-border shipping from their existing warehouse — zero inventory commitment. Then we help you identify which top-performing SKUs to move into local fulfillment based on actual demand data.
How are duties calculated for apparel given the variation by fabric?
We classify every SKU with the correct HS code based on fabric composition and product type. Duty rates are calculated automatically per market — cotton, synthetic, wool blends, and leather all classified accurately. Customers see the right landed cost at checkout. No surprises at the border.
Can OpenBorder handle apparel marketplace expansion too?
Yes. We run apparel brands across DTC, Amazon (UK, EU, US, Mexico), and TikTok Shop UK — where fashion performs particularly well. All three channels are managed through the same platform.
