In today’s online shopping era, more and more consumers choose to conduct global shopping through cross-border e-commerce, especially “overseas shopping” has become a daily choice for many people. In order to meet consumers’ needs for a fast and reliable shopping experience, Changsha Huanghua Airport officially opened its first cross-border e-commerce export all-cargo charter flight on February 26 this year. This move marks an important step in the construction of international logistics channels for the China (Changsha) Cross-border E-Commerce Comprehensive Pilot Zone. It not only increases convenience for consumers, but also provides new assistance for Hunan brands to explore the global market.
Cross-border e-commerce, as a typical application of “Internet +”, is leading a new trend in global trade.

With the help of the bonded online shopping model, the time for cross-border direct purchase can be shortened from the original 3 to 7 days to only 1 to 2 days, and the purchased goods The quality is also more guaranteed. This series of measures not only promotes the development of cross-border e-commerce, but also provides strong support for the transformation and upgrading of Hunan’s foreign trade companies.
