Cross Border Electricity Providers And Customs Supervision System Docking To Save Logistics Costs

Although the blue ocean of foreign trade B2C has surfaced, the pain point of payment problem still remains. In the situation of more and more complicated and demanding foreign trade environment, the road of cross-border trade in Zhongshan's foreign trade is still uneven.

For export cross-border electricity providers, payment is performed as a foreign card acquirer business, that is, domestic businesses sell goods to overseas consumers through foreign trade platforms. After payment by consumers, payment agencies collect foreign currency for domestic businesses and settle foreign exchange by proxy. This process has lasted for quite a long time.

Take Qinhui's company as an example, it takes 25 days from delivery to payment.

"In view of the current volume of business, the company can still afford it. Once the volume of business grows substantially, facing the backlog of funds for a long time, it will easily lead to the breakup of the capital chain. Therefore, we are also considering this problem carefully when we lay out the overseas retail market."
