The state must consider all aspects when formulating policies. From a strategic perspective, the cross-border pilot and free trade zone construction between Pingtan and Fuzhou can achieve common prosperity for both sides of the Taiwan Strait. Taiwan, China, has a large number of goods that clear customs at several ports in Fujian and enter the inland every year. Moreover, its international routes and international transportation capacity are abundant. In addition to obtaining Taiwanese goods through three links, it can also transfer international goods at its base.
Pingtan is an important town for Taiwan, China, and a “new special zone” for it. It has opened multiple routes to Taichung and Taipei, and has three pilot zones for free trade zone, cross-border e-commerce and economic cooperation. The superimposed location advantages have achieved seamless integration with express logistics in Taiwan, China. The entire island of Pingtan is a special customs supervision zone, and the entire island is closed for customs operations. “Inspection and supervision when entering the area, verification and release when leaving the area”, and O2O offline experience stores have also been introduced. However, in the face of cross-border import e-commerce, Pingtan’s situation has not opened up. Most cross-border imports are non-rigidly needed products. In addition, transportation is not convenient, and the advantages are not obvious.
Fuzhou has obtained the qualification of a cross-border e-commerce pilot city. In order to effectively integrate cross-border e-commerce management services, it has established a cross-border e-commerce supervision center, bonded warehousing, law enforcement agencies and other facilities in the export processing zone. -A comprehensive cross-border e-commerce bonded logistics center that adopts the “front store and back warehouse” operating model.
Realize customs and inspection shared cross-border e-commerce warehouses at regulatory sites, establish an automated online commodity inspection system, and realize “one machine and two screens” for customs and inspection to ensure rapid customs clearance of goods. The Fuzhou Municipal Government, together with Fuzhou Customs and other port departments, developed the “Rongdatong” cross-border e-commerce customs clearance service platform, which enables one-stop customs clearance declarations for three orders and supports four types of cross-border business models.
