The Cross-Border E-Commerce Policy Has Been Continuously Released Since This Year

This year's government work report clearly proposed to "expand cross-border e-commerce pilot, support enterprises to build a batch of export products' overseas warehouses". In fact, since the first executive meeting of the State Council this year focused on "cross-border e-commerce" and set up 12 pilot cross-border e-commerce comprehensive pilot zones, the cross-border e-commerce import tax policy is about to be adjusted, and the cross-border e-commerce policy benefits have been continuously released this year.

It is understood that the State Council has recently approved the establishment of cross-border e-commerce comprehensive pilot zones in 12 cities, including Tianjin, and the customs is studying the development of comprehensive pilot zones that can be replicated system Measures, the next step will be to study and improve the customs supervision mode as soon as possible, and accelerate the construction of cross-border e-commerce comprehensive pilot zone. At the same time, the customs will actively discuss with the relevant departments to revise the departmental rules that are not suitable for the innovative development of cross-border e-commerce as soon as possible, provide corresponding legal support for the construction and development of the comprehensive pilot area, and ensure the smooth implementation of the pilot expansion.

At present, the downward pressure on foreign trade is still great and traditional competitive edge Against the background of weakening, cross-border e-commerce is regarded as one of the important driving engines of foreign trade growth. According to market statistics, cross-border e-commerce accounts for about 17% of foreign trade imports and exports, 90% of which are B2B models, and cross-border retail only accounts for about 3% of foreign trade imports and exports. Therefore, compared with fragmented B2C, B2B, which is the focus of the next step of cross-border e-commerce comprehensive pilot zone exploration, has more scale effect foreign trade The pulling effect of growth will also be more obvious.

Zhang Li, deputy director of the E-commerce Research Department of the Research Institute of the Ministry of Commerce, told reporters that cross-border e-commerce conforms to the new characteristics of the current transformation of consumption patterns, has strong flexibility, and is conducive to enterprises capturing new changes in the market, leading foreign trade to transform more in line with consumption patterns.

"We estimate that if the results of the comprehensive pilot test of cross-border e-commerce can meet the expectations and the relevant supporting systems can be formed, the proportion of cross-border e-commerce in foreign trade import and export should reach 30% to 40% by the end of the 13th Five Year Plan," said Zhang Li.

Zhang Dongdong, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and chairman of Suning Holding Group, said that last year Chinese tourists spent about 1.2 trillion yuan overseas, continuing to maintain the title of "the world's major tourism consumer group". This year, China's total cross-border e-commerce trade is expected to exceed 6 trillion yuan, and will maintain high growth in the next few years.

In his view, the development model of cross-border e-commerce O2O can not only enable domestic consumers to enjoy the same products and services without leaving the country, but also can take the supply side structural reform as an opportunity to force the transformation and upgrading of domestic manufacturing industry. He suggested that we should encourage the creation of "front store and back warehouse" O2O commercial entities to realize the one-stop function of experience and picking up goods. We should also encourage innovation in customs clearance and port services, and try to implement "online customs clearance" to improve the efficiency of commodity circulation.

Zhang Hongming, deputy to the National People's Congress and mayor of Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, suggested actively encouraging financial enterprises to cooperate with cross-border e-commerce platforms to solve the problem of export enterprises' financing difficulties; Support enterprises to build an intelligent, efficient and service-oriented "overseas cloud warehouse" system; Increase efforts to support the "O2O" exhibition mode of online and offline integrated development, and help SMEs expand the market; Modify the laws and regulations that do not adapt to or even hinder the development of cross-border e-commerce, and include the reform results of the cross-border e-commerce comprehensive pilot zone in the e-commerce law.
