The "Double Eleven" shopping festival continues to be hot. At 9 pm last night, the Xiamen Airport Cross border E-commerce Supervision Center was still brightly lit, and the conveyor belt was running at high speed. Export packages such as shoes, clothing, bags, household items, etc. were constantly passing through like flowing water. Customs officers from Xiamen Airport shuttle through the process of document review, inspection, and release, seamlessly connecting each link to enable more "Chinese goods" to fly faster into the hands of global consumers.
The Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China proposed to actively expand independent opening up and promote innovative development in trade.
Xiamen has taken multiple measures to promote the high-quality development of the cross-border e-commerce industry, such as attracting overseas fans of Chinese smart manufacturing products and enjoying global shopping without leaving home. Cross border e-commerce exports have grown by over 50% for six consecutive years, becoming a new driving force for trade growth and a new engine for promoting innovative trade development.
Placing an order today, you can receive good Chinese goods as soon as possible on the same day. This has been a shopping experience for many overseas buyers in recent years. The "fingertip ion" from around the world directly reaches the factory production line, which cannot be separated from the high-quality port business environment.
Xiamen Innovation has launched the "9610" convenient customs clearance mode for cross-border e-commerce, which realizes "list verification and summary declaration", with short links, low costs, and high efficiency. It is currently the mainstream channel for cross-border e-commerce exports.
As the main regulatory site for the export of goods under the "9610" mode of cross-border e-commerce in Xiamen, the Xiamen Airport Cross border E-commerce Supervision Center has an annual supervision volume of over 100 million items, with export packages mainly consisting of shoes, clothing, bags, household items, and personal accessories. Singles' Day is becoming increasingly popular overseas, especially with a significant increase in orders from Southeast Asia, which is more than half as much as usual, "said a staff member on site while scanning the package barcode." These days, there are many packages sent to Southeast Asia, and since pre-sales began, this line has become busier and busier
Chen Wuchao, General Manager of Xiamen Aoyun Express Co., Ltd., said, "Since mid October, major e-commerce platforms have made early efforts, and this year's order peak has come earlier than in previous years. Customs has contacted us in advance, understood the export needs of enterprises, guided staggered warehouse declaration, helped us avoid possible backlog risks, and provided strong support for enterprises to seize overseas business opportunities
Xiamen Airport Customs conducted in-depth research on cross-border e-commerce enterprises to understand the stocking volume, shipping plans, and logistics bottlenecks of popular categories, in order to better cope with this export peak. We guide enterprises to carry out 'early declaration' based on their declaration and arrival status, activate idle storage capacity, and try to process goods as soon as they arrive to ensure efficient customs clearance. We adopt a '24/7' customs clearance operation mode to ensure that packages are boarded the plane as soon as possible and delivered to overseas buyers, "said Wang Liguo, head of the Cross border E-commerce Supervision Department of Xiamen Airport Customs.
As the "tentacles" of Chinese brands gradually extend globally, "small packages" will have more focus points to leverage the global market.
In the first three quarters of this year, Xiamen achieved an import and export volume of 712.61 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 3%. Among them, the export performance was outstanding, with an export volume of 402.15 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 9.4%, higher than the national and provincial growth rates. Groups of data demonstrate the resilience and vitality of open development.
We will take the spirit of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China as a guide, continuously improve the speed of customs clearance for goods, optimize the business environment at ports, enhance regulatory efficiency and service levels, and promote high-quality development and high-level opening with more practical measures, "said Bai Yu, Deputy Director of Xiamen Airport Customs.
