Hangzhou Cross-Border Electricity Supplier Pilot Area How To Operate Has Attracted Much Attention

As a frequent visitor to the Xiasha Park, from the answer of Hangzhou customs officers, we can see what advantages the "cross sea" electricity supplier has in the future for "Hai Tao" consumers.

From country policy At the same time, cross-border electricity providers are no longer new. As early as 2013, the government has begun to study and conduct pilot projects in 6 cities across the country. But for most ordinary consumers who want to buy overseas goods, "cross-border electricity supplier" is still a strange word.

Q: what are the cross-border e-commerce platforms stationed in the Hangzhou free trade zone and what categories of overseas products are there?

　 Customs officer: there are three parks in Hangzhou. Xiasha Lower city and Airport Park. Xiasha park is the largest one. Currently, there are Tmall international, NetEase koala shopping, suning.com and other electronic business platforms. Jingdong, Shun Feng and ocean terminal have entered the airport park. The lower city park is the only cross-border electronic industrial park with two functions of export and import at present.

Take down Sha Garden Now, 60% of overseas products are concentrated in milk powder, 15% are some dietary supplements, that is, commonly known health products, such as Vitamin Complex Tablets, fish oil, and 15% are personal care, shampoo, facial mask, cosmetics and so on. The rest 10% are miscellaneous items, such as bags, clothes, digital products and so on.

　 Q: through cross-border e-commerce platform to buy overseas goods, will show the "free trade zone" and "overseas direct mail", what is the difference between the two?

Customs officers: "delivery in the bonded area" is directly shipped from warehouses in Hangzhou, Ningbo, Guangzhou and other domestic bonded areas. These goods are made up by the electronic business platform or overseas third party merchants in advance to the bonded area, so there is no difference between the speed of shopping and the domestic online shopping. "Overseas direct mail" is sent to the mainland by the overseas warehouse of the electronic business platform. Both are overseas goods, the difference is that direct mail mode is first order, then goods, first gathered a batch of orders, and then from the United States warehouse, German warehouse and other goods ready to send together, so direct mail logistics time is longer, will be more expensive.

Many consumers like direct mail because they can see a complete foreign logistics information, which may be more foreign. But there is no difference in quality between them. Overseas direct mail mainly focuses on goods that are small in domestic demand and cannot be stored in bulk.

Q: what are the government's regulatory measures for overseas goods on cross-border e-commerce platforms? How can we ensure the quality and safety of goods?

　　 Customs officers: there are two aspects: from the customs side, we have to carry out the inspection of every box of goods entering the warehouse. There are special tally areas and tally personnel in the warehouse, mainly counting the quantity, checking whether the products of the individual goods are intact or not.

In addition, the state inspection will conduct a sample inspection of the commodities in the bonded area, and return or destroy the unqualified products. However, less qualified products are available at present.

Q: which cross-border e-commerce platforms are relatively safer to shop?

　 Customs officers: Based on the government's supervision and standardization measures, compared with the traditional Hai Tao and purchasing agents, shopping on cross-border e-commerce platforms is generally safer. In addition, there are many cross-border e-commerce platform to explore innovative models, such as NetEase's koala sea purchase, through self run straight picking, by professional purchasing team to control the quality of overseas goods, further ensuring the safety of products.

Q: how to implement the tax and fee standards for cross-border e-commerce platforms?

　 Customs officer: our side belongs to a free regulatory area. There is a concept of "bonded". It is a temporary storage place for overseas goods. It does not need to pay taxes. Based on the concept of B2C, domestic consumers purchase overseas goods through the electronic business platform. They are personal personal articles, so customs is paying taxes according to personal postal tax. And the tax should be exempted from less than 50 yuan. These measures ensure the price advantage through cross-border e-commerce shopping.

Q: can we buy overseas fruits, seafood and other fresh products on cross-border electricity suppliers?

　　 Customs officers: it is likely to be realized soon. Hangzhou's comprehensive cross-border e-commerce pilot area has been approved. Hangzhou is also actively striving to become a port for fresh fruit imports. Once landing, buying overseas food through cross-border e-commerce platform will not be a problem.

In January of this year, our Hangzhou Customs jointly purchased the koala sea of NetEase, and sold a group of cherry from Chile to the consumers of Hangzhou, and realized the "first order" purchased by domestic cross-border electricity supplier channels. At that time, it was to test the whole logistics chain of raw and fresh pieces, and the process of customs and state inspection supervision.

However, these cars were delivered directly to Shanghai after landing at the fresh port of Hangzhou. The traditional fruit fresh import ports, such as Shanghai and Ningbo, are actually very small in scope, because the fresh fruit is ground to match, and has great relationship with logistics distribution. If Hangzhou becomes a fresh port, the logistics advantage based on cross-border e-commerce platform can be radiated to the periphery of Hangzhou, and even in some inland areas. This demand is great. At present, customs, including NetEase koala Hai, are preparing facilities for cold storage to prepare for fresh port opening.

Q: how do you understand the negative list system? What products are part of the negative list system?

　 Customs officer: there is a catalogue of personal postal items in the customs area. The "negative list" on the other side of the national inspection department has included many commodities, such as living animals and plants and their products, chicken, beef and other meat, including fungi, including probiotics, which are not allowed because they are prone to problems. For example, there is no inactivated coffee, milk powder that does not meet our national standards, and food that is controlled by national security. In addition to the negative list of goods, the rest are liberalized, electronic business can try.

　 Q: what are the advantages of purchasing overseas goods through cross-border electricity suppliers compared with traditional purchasing agents and Hai Tao?

　　 Customs officers: low prices, fast logistics, and most importantly, safety. For the government's supervision, cross-border e-commerce platform is a more sunny, more standardized and more information oriented overseas shopping channel, so the government is also trying to guide this aspect. In fact, in the traditional Hai Tao, many domestic individuals and enterprises have low profit margins, all of which are transferring companies to make money. Now the rise of cross-border electricity providers, such as Tmall international, NetEase koala sea, they can earn at least money, which has little effect on avoiding vicious competition, upgrading the industry standard and threshold, including our warehousing, logistics, and the whole industry chain are benefiting. Many platforms are cheap to sell goods overseas, so they are not expensive to sell to consumers. In short, the state's support for cross-border electricity providers is a process of gradually rationalizing and standardizing an industry.

Q: will cross border electricity suppliers affect traditional trade and import?

　　 Customs officers: the impact is mainly on the personal consumer goods, because this is a major trend, online shopping is in line with the interests of consumers, including enterprises. You go to the supermarket to buy, those things are very expensive. In the middle, after many wholesalers and distributors, cross-border electric business is equivalent to transferring the general fast moving products to the Internet. Moreover, through the analysis of big data, enterprises can better grasp the market situation. The comprehensive test area in Hangzhou will also realize information management based on all kinds of data, and establish a credit system for electric business enterprises. Only when the integrity of the enterprise is high, can our supervision departments become more open, which is complementary to each other.

The Zhejiang provincial government and the Hangzhou municipal government have also held several meetings recently to study the development of related industries under "Internet +". And governor Li Qiang has specially studied the cross border electricity supplier Department of NetEase, in order to understand the development of Koala sea purchase of cross-border e-commerce platform and related internet financial field construction problems.
