Yesterday (September 18), the construction of the cross-border e-commerce public service platform in Lanzhou, Gansu Province was completed, which means that the city’s cross-border e-commerce services have taken a step forward. For many people, the concept of cross-border e-commerce public service platform may still be unfamiliar. The following editor will explain to you what a cross-border e-commerce public service platform is.
The concept of cross-border e-commerce public service platform
The meaning of “public service” has two aspects. On the one hand, it is to build a public information platform between the functional departments of local governments, and on the other hand, it is to serve the public.
There are many transparent foreign trade links, involving government functional departments such as inspection and quarantine, tax refunds, payment settlement, enterprise filing, data statistics, and bank settlement, etc. Traditional foreign trade enterprises need to connect one by one.
Due to the particularity of fragmented orders in the cross-border e-commerce industry, it will be extremely arduous to repeatedly connect with functional departments for each order.
In addition, government functional departments also need a public area to share the data uploaded by enterprises, and conduct data collection, exchange comparison, supervision and other work.
Therefore, the cross-border e-commerce public service platform, a public service platform invested and built by the government, has become the fundamental means to solve these problems.
At present, cross-border e-commerce public service platforms are all built by local governments themselves. There is no national unification, the service content varies, and the interface operation is also different.
The role and significance of the cross-border e-commerce public service platform
The role of the cross-border e-commerce public service platform is mainly to communicate with government functional departments and connect with the customs clearance service platform (this is not necessarily available).
The public service platform not only allows various functional departments of the government to form a cross-border circle, but also a convenient communication channel between the government and foreign trade. It is a service window opened by various functional departments of the government for foreign trade enterprises.
