The troika of economic prosperity is “investment”, “trade” and “consumption”, while cross-border e-commerce has monopolized two of them: “cross” trade and “e-commerce” consumption!
In recent years, In 2018, my country’s economy faced great downward pressure, manufacturing costs continued to rise, traditional foreign trade competitive advantages weakened, and global trade overall weakened, which significantly impacted container-based large-amount cross-border transactions. Compared with traditional foreign trade, my country’s Internet economy is leading the world, cross-border e-commerce is developing rapidly, and online retail represented by cross-border small transactions has shown obvious competitive advantages.
National policies have also continued to be favorable, supporting the development of cross-border e-commerce, using “Internet + foreign trade” to achieve optimal import and export, driving the growth of my country’s foreign trade and national economy, giving full play to my country’s advantages as a manufacturing power, and expanding overseas Marketing channels; promote domestic consumption upgrades, optimize production, manufacturing and foreign trade industrial chains, increase employment, promote mass entrepreneurship and innovation, and create new economic growth points.
The open, efficient and convenient trade environment built by cross-border e-commerce helps small and micro enterprises broaden their access to the international market, provides a convenient platform and valuable opportunities for product innovation and brand creation, and at the same time gives birth to The promulgation of new international economic and trade rules that meet the development requirements of the future data era will also be conducive to accelerating the implementation of national strategies such as the “Belt and Road” and “Internet +” and cultivating new advantages of my country’s open economy.
Cross-border e-commerce is a nationally recognized trade channel. Cross-border imports can meet the global needs of domestic consumers and are legally included in supervision and statistics. At present, cross-border e-commerce accounts for about 17% of foreign trade imports and exports, 90% of which is B2B mode, and cross-border retail only accounts for about 3% of foreign trade imports and exports. The rapid development and “fragmentation” characteristics of cross-border e-commerce have provided a good internationalization opportunity for the emerging international currency RMB. However, the virtualization of transactions has increased the difficulty of obtaining tax evidence, and the problem of international tax avoidance has become prominent. The sharp increase in smuggling and infringement problems are also some of the new situations we are currently facing.
