Cross-border e-commerce has once again ushered in heavy positives. The General Administration of Customs announced on the 13th that it decided to conduct cross-border e-commerce business-to-business (B2B) export supervision pilots at 10 local customs offices in Beijing, Tianjin, and Guangzhou.
In my country's foreign trade, cross-border e-commerce can definitely be regarded as a "shining star." Even in the context of the new coronary pneumonia epidemic, the development is still eye-catching. Shan said that in the first quarter of this year, imports and exports through the customs cross-border e-commerce management platform increased by 34.7%, while the overall level of my country's foreign trade imports and exports fell by 6.4% over the same period.
In fact, my country has previously launched a series of measures to support the development of cross-border e-commerce. However, many enterprises have reported that the existing measures are mainly concentrated in the field of retail imports and exports, hoping to add a B2B export supervision mode code, to simplify the declaration and facilitate customs clearance. This year's government work report also made it clear that "accelerating the development of new formats such as cross-border e-commerce". The new regulations issued by the General Administration of Customs are pragmatic measures to respond to market concerns and implement government work reports.
The new regulations make it clear that the customs supervision mode code "9710", abbreviated as "cross-border e-commerce B2B direct export", is applicable to goods directly exported by the cross-border e-commerce B2B; the customs supervision mode code "9810", abbreviated "cross-border" "Border e-commerce export overseas warehouse" applies to cross-border e-commerce exports of goods in overseas warehouses.
Lao Guling, director of the E-commerce Research Center of Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, who has long been concerned about the development of cross-border e-commerce, believes that from the original preference for regulated imports, to now the "9710" and "9810" special supervision of exports, it means that China’s cross-border e-commerce field is excellent. Substantial progress has been made in getting in and out.
"At the same time, from the original more oriented to retail imports, to the current clear B2B direct export supervision method, it is also the result of the increase in the size of the export cross-border e-commerce B2B in recent years, occupying the mainstream model." She said that on the surface, it was only added The two codes actually reflect the world's strong demand for China's cross-border e-commerce exports and the unstoppable vitality of China's foreign trade.
How much energy is there by adding two codes? Xu Ping, president of Henan Bonded Group, described this to reporters: under the same conditions and the same manpower, with this new regulation, the business volume can be doubled.
It should be reminded that cross-border e-commerce enterprises or entrusted agent declaration enterprises, domestic cross-border e-commerce platform enterprises and logistics enterprises should submit declaration data and transmit electronic information to the customs through the "single window" or "Internet + customs" of international trade And assume corresponding legal responsibility for the authenticity of the data. Cross-border e-commerce B2B export goods should comply with relevant inspection and quarantine regulations.
The General Administration of Customs made it clear that the pilot will be carried out in Beijing Customs, Tianjin Customs, Nanjing Customs, Hangzhou Customs, Ningbo Customs, Xiamen Customs, Zhengzhou Customs, Guangzhou Customs, Shenzhen Customs, Huangpu Customs; according to the pilot situation, it will be copied and promoted in the national customs in a timely manner.
People in the industry believe that the new regulations of the General Administration of Customs for cross-border e-commerce will further promote the healthy and rapid development of cross-border e-commerce, and better play the positive role of cross-border e-commerce in stabilizing foreign trade and securing employment.
