With the acceleration of globalization, overseas products are gradually favored by more and more Chinese consumers. JD International, as a cross-border e-commerce platform under JD Group, provides merchants with new opportunities to enter the Chinese market. This article will analyze the entry conditions, procedures and required fees of JD International in detail to help merchants understand and successfully enter JD International.
1. Entry conditions and required information
JD International has certain requirements for merchants to enter. Merchants need to prepare the following information to meet the platform’s review standards:
Company registration documents: including business registration certificate, business license, business license, etc., to prove the merchant’s legal business identity.
Authorized representative statement and identity document: Merchants need to provide a statement and corresponding identity document of the authorized representative of the store opening entity company to ensure the legality of the entry operation.
Overseas bank account opening certificate or bank statement: Merchants need to provide an overseas bank account opening certificate or bank statement so that the platform can settle funds.
Domestic return and exchange address: Merchants need to provide a return and exchange address in China to protect consumers’ after-sales rights.
Trademark registration certificate and authorization letter: The goods sold by the merchant must have a trademark registration certificate, and non-trademark holders must provide an exclusive store opening authorization letter issued by the trademark holder/right holder.
In addition, merchants are required to provide a PPT introduction of the company and brand and a quality inspection report of the product so that the platform can better understand the brand strength and product quality of the merchant.
II. Settlement process and fees
JD International’s settlement process mainly includes qualification review, signing of agreements, and payment of fees. Merchants must submit settlement applications and related materials in accordance with the platform’s requirements. After the platform’s review and approval, the two parties sign a cooperation agreement. Merchants must pay platform usage fees and deposits, and the specific amount depends on the category of goods sold by the merchant and the type of store.
The platform usage fee is generally US$1,000 per year, and the deposit for most flagship stores is US$5,000. It should be noted that the deposit for the entertainment category is US$10,000, while other categories may be US$15,000 or more. Merchants need to carefully understand the various fee standards before settling in to ensure that their financial situation meets the requirements.
3. Settlement method selection
JD International’s settlement methods mainly include self-recommendation and agency settlement. Self-recommendation is suitable for merchants with strong strength and experience. They can prepare settlement materials and submit applications on their own. However, due to the high audit standards of the platform, the failure rate of self-recommendation is also relatively high.
For merchants who lack experience or want to increase the success rate of settlement, agency settlement is a good choice. Agency settlement service providers have rich experience and professional knowledge, which can help merchants prepare complete settlement materials and increase the success rate of settlement. When choosing an agency settlement service provider, merchants should pay attention to choosing a formal and reputable service provider to ensure the smooth progress of the settlement process.
As a cross-border e-commerce platform, JD International provides merchants with valuable opportunities to expand the Chinese market. Merchants need to carefully understand the platform’s settlement conditions, procedures and fees before settling in, and choose a suitable settlement method. Through sufficient preparation and planning, I believe that merchants can successfully settle in JD International and open a new chapter in cross-border e-commerce.
