1) Registered sellers on e-commerce platforms
As the main body of e-commerce activities, e-commerce companies need to register as sellers on one or more cross-border e-commerce platforms. Strong e-commerce companies can also build their own e-commerce platforms and engage in cross-border B2B business on e-commerce platforms.
2) Obtain import and export rights
Since cross-border B2B falls within the scope of international trade, e-commerce companies need to obtain import and export rights first. my country currently implements a filing and registration system. All e-commerce companies can enter the “Foreign Trade Operator Filing System” of the Ministry of Commerce and complete the foreign trade operator filing procedures in accordance with regulations. After obtaining import and export rights, you need to go to customs, taxation, banks, foreign exchange administration, electronic ports and other foreign trade-related departments to handle relevant procedures.
3) Cross-border B2B business filing
The state and local governments have introduced many measures to encourage cross-border B2B export business. If cross-border e-commerce companies want to enjoy preferential policies, they need to file cross-border B2B companies and goods at the customs. Otherwise, the e-commerce goods can only be exported in traditional foreign trade methods and cannot enjoy preferential subsidies. Exports by ordinary express or parcel post cannot enjoy export tax rebates.
