Tariff Cuts For Cross-Border E-Commerce Providers

Tax cuts and cross-border benefits

Cross border electricity providers welcome the policy again.

Premier Li Keqiang chaired a State Council executive meeting to improve the import and export policy of consumer goods.

The meeting pointed out that for foreign consumer goods with large domestic consumption demand, we should carry out pilot projects to lower import tariffs before the end of June this year, and gradually expand the scope of tax reduction products.

At the same time, combined with the tax reform, we should improve the consumption tax policy of consumer goods such as clothing and cosmetics, and adjust the scope of Taxation, tax rate and collection link.

In addition, the duty free shops at the port will be added and restored to expand the duty free varieties reasonably.

CEO, Ji Wen Hong, said that after the implementation of the policy, a more equitable import and export environment will be created for the market, which will help more companies to participate, and at the same time, improve the efficiency of import operation and reduce the cost.

According to Ji Wen Hong, expanding duty-free varieties will help cross-border companies go deeper into the world and tap a more comprehensive supply.

If imported goods become cheap and fine, they will have strong attraction.

Fifth Avenue luxury goods network CEO Sun Yafei said that if the implementation of the tax reduction policy will directly lead to lower commodity prices, thereby promoting the cross-border electricity providers.

"For a large number of public goods, consumers will benefit directly.

But for some "high cold" luxury brands, they are related to business strategies.

In Sun Yafei's view, in addition to the fact that some brands want to maintain their brand image and do not make too much concession in terms of price reduction, the industry as a whole will have room for reduction.

It is understood that the current domestic

In order to obtain overseas goods, many people buy through cross-border electricity providers, offshore websites such as "Hai Tao", personal purchasing, or even directly to overseas, resulting in a large number of domestic consumption outflows.

In the industry view, reducing tariffs and expanding the scope of tax reduction products can not only enrich domestic consumers' shopping choices, but also facilitate consumption reflow and expand domestic demand.

Imported goods fever has spawned a huge cross-border electricity supplier market.

Statistics show that in the first half of last year, China's cross-border e-commerce pactions totaled about 3 trillion yuan, and the domestic cross-border e-commerce platform has more than 5000, with more than 20 registered companies.

It is estimated that by 2018, the "Hai Tao nationality" in the mainland of China will increase to 35 million 600 thousand, with an annual consumption of 1 trillion yuan.

Loss of spread advantage

Although reducing taxes and expanding the scope of tax reduction commodities will boost market demand, it also directly subverts the advantage of price difference for cross-border electricity providers to survive, and tests the survival mode of cross-border electricity providers.

The difference between Postal tax and trade tariff is the basis for cross-border electricity providers to survive.

Insiders told the Beijing Commercial Daily reporter an account.

Take a high-end nail polish as an example. According to the current general trade import mode, customs duty is 15%, value-added tax is 17%, and consumption tax is 30%.

If the cross-border electricity supplier imports, only postal tax 50%.

In this case, obviously cross-border electricity supplier imports have advantages.

If the state lowers tariffs and excise taxes, the general trade import tax on the high-end cosmetics may be lower than that of cross-border electricity suppliers, so that cross-border electricity providers will no longer have the price advantage.

In the view of Jiang Dahai, general manager of suning.com overseas business department, the consumption tax on clothing and cosmetics mentioned in the new policy is good news for general trade imports, but it may reduce the import volume of cross-border electricity suppliers.

But the general trade import and cross-border electricity supplier import costs are different.

For cosmetics, the general trade import needs to carry out the tedious process of pre approval and so on, while the cross-border e-commerce process is relatively simple.

Sun Yafei said the cross-border electricity supplier is a pitional product to some extent, and the international price difference is the driving force for its survival.

With the global "price leveling", China's market development is further pparent and fair, and more and more foreign brands expand the domestic market, the space for cross-border electricity providers will be smaller and smaller, especially those small cross-border electric providers.

Clearance pain point to be solved

The State Council also made guidance in the import and export inspection and Quarantine of cross-border electricity suppliers, saying that it is necessary to formulate policies to support the import and export of cross-border electricity suppliers, and to clean up unreasonable charges in the import links.

In the industry, the clearance process is already one of the pain points for cross-border e-commerce development. The industry still faces many problems in clearance.

Insiders told the Beijing daily news that at present, there are two main problems in cross-border e-commerce: one is the speed of goods circulation, the other is the ability to optimize customs clearance.

The completion of cross border logistics links by pport companies can easily lead to the breakup of the supply chain in three streams, which will have a significant negative impact on the speed of goods circulation.

The optimization capability of customs clearance is reflected in customs clearance and tariff control, and the lack of customs clearance and expected management capability will directly reduce consumer experience.

Foreign port CEO Zeng Bi Bo said that due to the complexity of the import and export of docking and running in, the cross border business logistics experience is not very good at present.

In the view of Xiao Xin, founder of fresh life, there are great differences in the implementation standards of customs policies in different places.

The different customs clearance procedures directly bring difficulty to the standardized production of enterprises.

In addition, in order to deal with the difficult problem of cross-border commodity distribution, cross-border electricity providers have shifted from light assets to heavy assets and started building their own overseas warehouses, but the high cost has become a barrier for cross-border e-commerce companies.

Forced to return to retail

Cross border electricity providers are still at the stage of market exploration. It is not clear what kind of business mode can attract consumers' hearts.

Analysts in the industry believe that the price of some cross-border electricity suppliers has hit bottom, even lower than the price of the country of origin.

Among them, the selling behavior of individual enterprises has an impact on the healthy development of the industry.

Cross border electricity providers will eventually return to the essence of retail.

Jiang Dahai said that with the end of the era of tax arbitrage, cross-border electricity providers should focus on the essence of retailing, namely, service, supply chain and commodity quality.

Xie Wenbin, CEO, said that the biggest pain point in the global purchase stage is not in logistics, tariffs, policies, but in the actual links of location, user, operation and marketing.

In Hunan cloud monkey network CEO Yang Jun seems that this tax reduction policy is also a reshuffle of the traditional supply chain, and policy improvement will push the industry supply chain optimization and upgrading.

It is understood that at present, the traditional supply chain management mechanism is adopted in the traditional retail business in China.

There is a grey area in customs clearance, and "relationship households" become an important means of customs clearance.
