The State Council Information Office held a press conference on the 14th. At the meeting, Li Kuiwen introduced the work done by the customs in supporting the development of cross-border e-commerce. He pointed out that as a new type of trade format, cross-border e-commerce, with its advantages of online transactions, non-contact delivery and short transaction chains, bucked the trend and played a positive role for foreign trade companies to deal with the impact of the epidemic.
According to customs statistics, in the first half of this year, imports and exports of customs cross-border e-commerce monitoring platforms increased by 26.2%, of which exports increased by 28.7% and imports increased by 24.4%. Customs adheres to the concept of "tolerance, prudence, innovation, and coordination", continuously optimizes the supervision system, improves the cross-border e-commerce statistical system, and actively supports the orderly development of new trade formats such as cross-border e-commerce. This year, three major reform measures have been implemented:
First, comprehensively promote the supervision measures for the return of cross-border e-commerce export goods. Explore the establishment of efficient, safe, and efficient cross-border e-commerce export return channels, solve the problem of "difficult returns" for cross-border e-commerce export goods, and fully support cross-border e-commerce export companies to "sell the world".
The second is to conduct cross-border e-commerce business-to-business, that is, B2B export pilot. Additional "9710" and "9810" trade methods were established, and pilots were conducted in 10 customs such as Beijing, Tianjin, Nanjing, Hangzhou, Ningbo, Xiamen, Zhengzhou, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Huangpu Customs, which opened a large-scale "selling global" cross-border New journey of e-commerce. Enterprises adopting the new mode of customs clearance can enjoy customs clearance facilitation measures such as one-time registration, one-point docking, simplified declaration, priority inspection, permission to transfer customs, and management of return accounts. Small and medium-sized enterprises with low single-ticket value goods can also choose more convenient customs clearance channels. Goods traded in online exhibitions such as the Canton Fair can also be applied to the new regulations to enjoy customs clearance convenience.
The third is to continue to take the initiative to work with the World Customs Organization and other international organizations to study and optimize cross-border e-commerce world trade rules, and further strengthen cooperation with the UPU, customs of other countries and regions on multilateral data sharing, and jointly build high-quality global-oriented Cross-border e-commerce delivery service network.
