As one of the new forms of international trade development, cross-border e-commerce is showing great vitality. Nowadays, more and more products made in China enter the international consumer goods market through cross-border e-commerce.

 

Different from traditional trade, cross-border e-commerce presents the characteristics of fragmentation, mass production and informatization. The data shows that the number of import lists of cross-border e-commerce is 5-6 times the number of goods declarations in the same period, and the average value of each order is less than three ten thousandths of the goods declarations. "During the supervision process, we seized controlled psychotropic substances, intellectual property infringement items, 'exotic pets' and other contraband. It should be said that these new situations have posed challenges to the customs supervision work." Sun Yu, deputy director of the General Administration of Customs Ning said.

Sun Yuning said that the General Administration of Customs has introduced a customs clearance management system different from traditional trade, and has created a customs supervision model suitable for the characteristics of cross-border e-commerce through classified management and "tailor-made".

"At the same time, we have comprehensively promoted the paperless registration of cross-border e-commerce export overseas warehouses, and realized 'one-site filing, nationwide use'. As of the end of February, the number of cross-border e-commerce overseas warehouse companies that have registered with the customs has reached 1,713." Sun Yuning explain.

 

Confidence in promoting stability and improving quality

 

At present, global inflation is high and the growth of major economies is sluggish, which poses a continuous impact on global trade. The WTO recently predicted that the global trade in goods was weak in the first quarter of this year and is expected to grow by only 1% for the whole year. The recent fluctuations in the financial markets of some Western countries have had an impact on the global trade environment, which is also an external challenge for China to promote stability and improve the quality of foreign trade.

 

"The challenges China's foreign trade faces are short-term, cyclical, and global; while the opportunities for foreign trade development are long-term, structural, and regional." Cheng Shi, Chief Economist of ICBC International , driven by economic growth and scientific and technological progress, global aggregate demand is expected to increase in a trend, and the wave of globalization of trade in services may become a breakthrough point in the development of China's foreign trade.

 

Yu Jianhua introduced that in the first two months, more companies entered the field of foreign trade, and 46,000 foreign trade operators were newly registered by the customs, indicating that market confidence is accumulating and recovering. "In terms of orders, the proportion of enterprises with new export orders has continued to increase. In terms of new kinetic energy, the total export of electric vehicles, lithium batteries, and solar cells has increased by 60%. In terms of trade diversification, China's "Belt and Road The import and export of the countries along the "Road" increased by more than 10%, and the total import and export of other RCEP members increased by more than 3%." Yu Jianhua said.

 

"On the whole, the foreign trade situation is still severe and complicated, but it also contains many opportunities." Yu Jianhua said that in comparison, China's competitive advantage is still obvious. With the overall improvement of China's economic situation, the momentum of foreign trade's steady start in the first two months is expected to be maintained. This year, China is confident in realizing the goal of promoting stability and improving quality of foreign trade.
