Repair & Re-Export: Fix Defective Units at the Source
When products fail after they’ve reached the US, you don’t have to write them off. We manage the entire repair loop — collecting the defective units at our US warehouse, exporting them back to China for repair at the factory, and re-exporting the fixed goods back to you. One team handles both customs systems, in both directions, from start to finish.
Why Choose Little Expedite’s Reverse Logistics Services?
One Team, Both Customs Systems
US export clearance, China import-for-repair, then the return trip — each leg has its own customs rules and deadlines. We manage all of it, so your units keep moving and don’t get hit with duties they shouldn’t owe.
We Know the Repair Route
Sending goods back for repair follows strict customs procedures on both sides — a CBP Form 4455 on the way out, temporary-import handling on the way back, and China’s six-month repair-and-re-export window. We’ve run this route and know exactly where it trips people up.
Little Expedite's Ecosystem
The repair loop touches freight, customs, and warehousing on both coasts and in China — all things we already handle. That’s why we can manage the whole cycle instead of you stitching together five different vendors.
Recover Value, Not Losses
Instead of scrapping defective inventory or paying to store it, get it repaired at the source and back into sellable condition — turning a write-off into recovered revenue.
