Cross border e-commerce, as a new format and model for foreign trade development, is building a new channel for Chinese goods to go global with unprecedented vitality and efficiency. More and more foreign trade enterprises are using this platform to integrate into the global market, not only allowing domestic consumers to efficiently and conveniently "buy globally" at their doorstep, but also allowing global consumers to simultaneously experience the charm of "Made in China".
In the production workshop of Jiangsu Taicang Sena Tent Co., Ltd., batches of large outdoor tents are being intensively produced and will soon be sold overseas through cross-border e-commerce platforms. In the past, we mainly relied on traditional foreign trade. Now, through cross-border e-commerce, we have expanded into multiple new markets and orders are growing rapidly, "said Xu Jun, the company manager. More than half of the new orders now come from online platforms, with an annual revenue increase of about 14 million yuan.
The successful transformation of enterprises cannot be achieved without precise policy assistance. Taicang Customs, a subsidiary of Nanjing Customs, actively connects with potential enterprises in its jurisdiction, guiding them to quickly complete cross-border e-commerce qualification filing through a "single window". By opening a dedicated service window at the business site, facilitating online and offline business processing channels, and regularly organizing policy training, it helps enterprises operate in compliance and lays a solid foundation for the healthy development of Taicang's local new business model.
In addition to directly connecting with end consumers through the platform, overseas warehouses have also become a good helper for export enterprises to enhance their competitiveness. Suzhou Dejun Textile Technology Co., Ltd. is a company mainly engaged in the development and design of textiles and clothing. In recent years, it has actively expanded its overseas market by leveraging overseas warehouses to enhance its order supply capacity.
With the help of overseas warehouses, we can ensure that products can be directly shipped from local warehouses after consumers place orders, adding new items to customers' wardrobes in the shortest possible time, "said Zhao Jin, the customs officer of the company. By real-time understanding of the inventory status of overseas warehouses, the company can replenish goods in a timely manner and avoid sales losses caused by stock shortages. In addition, overseas warehouses can also handle returns and exchanges, improving the level of after-sales service and enhancing customer trust.
To help enterprises fully enjoy the dividends brought by the overseas warehouse business model, Suzhou Customs under Nanjing Customs and local cross-border e-commerce service centers are collaborating to promote business implementation, arranging dedicated personnel to provide business training to eligible potential enterprises, providing one-on-one guidance for enterprises to make export declarations, helping enterprises make good use of policies, and enhancing supply chain resilience.
While optimizing export logistics, the customs continuously improves the supervision services of import customs clearance, providing a solid guarantee for the two-way smooth flow of cross-border e-commerce.
Starting from Double 11, beauty products, bags, and other goods from around the world are rapidly clearing customs and entering the Wujiang Comprehensive Bonded Zone in Jiangsu. To cope with the peak sales season of the year, Wujiang Customs, a subsidiary of Nanjing Customs, has conducted an early investigation of the stocking needs of enterprises, tailored customs clearance plans, implemented the "early review and release of goods upon arrival" model, and implemented a "7 × 24 hour" customs clearance service and pre audit mechanism to ensure efficient customs clearance of goods.
Now, goods can be delivered to consumers across the country within 24 hours at the fastest, "said Wang YaYa, the person in charge of the enterprise's bonded warehouse. Data shows that in the first three quarters of this year, the cross-border e-commerce retail import volume in Wujiang Comprehensive Bonded Zone increased by nearly 70% year-on-year.
From assisting enterprises in "going global" to supporting the "establishment" of overseas warehouses, and then to ensuring the "fast delivery" of cross-border goods, customs helps enterprises adapt to the new trend of foreign trade development and promote the orderly and vigorous development of new forms of cross-border e-commerce.
The relevant person in charge of Nanjing Customs stated that they will continue to conduct research on advantageous industrial belts, promote the upgrading of traditional foreign trade and manufacturing enterprises, support the expansion of diversified cross-border e-commerce consumption scenarios, promote the integrated development of "cross-border e-commerce+industrial belts", and inject strong momentum into enterprise innovation and development.
