(I) Overseas warehouse
The overseas warehouse model refers to the one-stop control and management services such as warehousing, sorting, packaging, delivery, and return of goods provided independently or jointly by cross-border e-commerce trading platforms and logistics service providers to sellers at the sales target location. Sellers prepare goods in advance to the warehouse at the sales location based on sales forecasts. When an order is generated, the local warehouse will respond quickly and sort, pack and deliver the goods in a timely manner. Overseas warehouse process.
(II) Cross-border direct mail
Compared to the overseas warehouse stocking model, the cross-border direct mail model refers to the logistics method of sorting, packaging, and cross-border delivery of goods in the seller’s country (region) after the order is generated.
Under the overseas warehouse stocking method, the customer experience is better in terms of timeliness, while under the cross-border direct mail model, the time for enterprises to prepare goods is relatively short. Both have their comparative advantages and disadvantages. In response to the global compliance requirements of the cross-border e-commerce industry, China’s cross-border e-commerce logistics model is mainly based on the coexistence of direct shipments from China and overseas warehouse stocking, with the core goal of achieving flexible global inventory allocation.
Under the advocacy and promotion of the General Administration of Customs of China, cross-border e-commerce logistics companies have launched a global central warehouse operation model. China Customs has innovated the classification supervision of cross-border goods in special supervision areas, giving full play to the logistics and distribution functions of the global central warehouse in the customs special supervision area, and taking advantage of the special supervision area, allowing non-bonded goods to complete the assembly and distribution of bonded goods in the central warehouse in the special supervision area, fully connecting the two markets abroad and domestically.
