In this episode of the DTC Podcast, Eric interviews Alex Yancher, Co-founder & CEO of Passport, a leading global ecommerce provider powering end-to-end growth for fast-growing DTC brands. Alex breaks down the seismic shifts caused by recent tariff increases, how duty drawback programs work, and why every DTC brand is now — whether they realize it or not — a global brand.
Key Takeaways:
The US tariff floor is rising to 30–50%, reshaping cost structures for brands.
Duty drawback offers a refund path — but only if your inventory data is airtight.
Smart DTC brands are moving inventory directly into high-performing international markets.
Localizing checkout and language increases conversion rate abroad.
DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) shipping avoids post-delivery sticker shock, improving customer experience and LTV.
Learn how Passport is helping brands like Dolls Kill, HexClad, and others navigate this new era of global DTC.
