Diversity of product categories
The product categories of cross-border e-commerce are mainly divided into the following categories:
- Electronic products: Electronic equipment and 3C products were once the mainstream of cross-border e-commerce, with widespread market demand.
- Decorations: Such products as wedding dresses and home furnishing products have a high annual growth rate and are attracting the attention of more and more businesses.
- Auto parts products: Due to the popularity of automobiles, auto parts products are in great demand and are particularly suitable for localized marketing. This market has huge potential.
Cross-border logistics and policy support
Transparency in cross-border logistics prices in Southeast Asia is crucial to promoting regional economic growth. Enterprises need to reduce costs and improve efficiency through effective logistics networks. Logistics pricing tables help businesses evaluate and optimize their supply chain partners.
In addition, the zero-tariff policy within the RCEP area also provides good opportunities for companies. Specific products range from tobacco, machinery and equipment to agricultural products, etc., which helps reduce trade costs. For companies exporting to special areas, their customs declaration strategies are equally important as tariff reduction and exemption policies.
