In January 2016, the State Council decided to establish new cross-border e-commerce comprehensive pilot zones in 12 cities including Hefei, Chengdu, Dalian, Qingdao, and Suzhou to replicate and promote Hangzhou’s “six major systems and two major platforms” experience and practices.
The “two major platforms” in the “Hangzhou Experience” are the online “single window” and the offline “comprehensive park”. The “six systems” are also dependent on the online single window platform. Therefore, each pilot city The regulatory ideas will become consistent, and customs clearance service platforms in various regions will be upgraded to a single-window model: realizing information exchange, mutual recognition of supervision, and mutual assistance in law enforcement between government departments, and gathering supporting facilities and services such as logistics and finance to provide cross-border e-commerce.

Carrying out pilot work is to change the contribution of cross-border e-commerce to foreign trade from quantitative to qualitative change, from potential to reality. The Cross-border E-commerce Comprehensive Pilot Zone is a large-channel model of Internet + foreign trade that the government wants to create.

It also takes into account the reasonable layout of the east, middle and west, so that enterprises can Conduct foreign trade more freely and more conveniently.

After the comprehensive pilot zone is opened, Qingdao, Dalian and other places will allow companies to engage in Japanese and Korean products.
