With the development of the economy, the transaction scale of China’s cross-border e-commerce is continuously expanding, and the proportion of export transaction volume is growing rapidly, prompting domestic e-commerce enterprises to intensify their layout in overseas markets. To assist cross-border e-commerce in mitigating risks and smoothly “going overseas,” we hereby propose the top ten essentials for safe overseas expansion. These cover policies and regulations, platform selection, logistics and warehousing, intellectual property, data security, brand building, customs clearance and tax refunds, and compliant operations, aiming to provide comprehensive guidance and advice for enterprises.

I. Understand What Cross-Border E-Commerce Is

Cross-border E-commerce refers to an international commercial activity where transaction entities belonging to different customs territories reach a transaction, conduct payment and settlement through an e-commerce platform, and deliver goods to complete the transaction via cross-border logistics. It needs to be distinguished from traditional foreign trade here. Traditional foreign trade refers to the process in which enterprises sell goods or services to foreign markets through traditional international trade methods.

Although both are methods of international transaction, they differ significantly in transaction models, logistics methods, payment methods, policy environments, and the challenges they face:

(I) Transaction Model

Cross-border E-commerce:

Directly connects with consumers through e-commerce platforms; transactions are completed online, simplifying the process.

Traditional Foreign Trade:

Relies on offline channels; transactions go through multiple links such as agents and wholesalers, making the process complex.

(II) Logistics Methods

Cross-border E-commerce:

Mostly uses small parcels/express delivery, overseas warehouses, etc., resulting in fast delivery speeds.

Traditional Foreign Trade:

Typically uses bulk transportation such as sea freight or air freight, which has a longer cycle.

(III) Payment Methods

Cross-border E-commerce:

Supports various online payment methods like credit cards, PayPal, Alipay, etc.

Traditional Foreign Trade:

Mainly relies on traditional payment methods like letters of credit (L/C) and telegraphic transfers (T/T).

(IV) Policy Environment

Cross-border E-commerce:

Influenced by the e-commerce policies of various countries, such as tariffs, data protection, etc.

Traditional Foreign Trade:

Influenced by international trade agreements, tariff policies, etc.

(V) Risks and Challenges

Cross-border E-commerce:

Main challenges include differences in trade policies and legal norms among countries, the security and efficiency of cross-border payments and logistics, building consumer trust, etc. For example, different countries’ tariff policies, import restrictions, and payment security issues will all affect cross-border e-commerce enterprises.

Traditional Foreign Trade:

Needs to cope with trade barriers, contract disputes, transportation risks, etc.

II. Opportunities in Transitioning to Cross-Border E-Commerce

According to data from eMarketer, global e-commerce sales are expected to reach $6.3 trillion in 2024, a year-on-year increase of 8.76%. From 2024 to 2027, global e-commerce sales will continue to climb at a compound annual growth rate of 7.8%, expected to reach $8 trillion by 2027.

Furthermore, according to preliminary statistics from the General Administration of Customs of China, in 2024, China’s cross-border e-commerce imports and exports reached 2.63 trillion yuan, an increase of 10.8%. Over the past five years, the scale of China’s cross-border e-commerce trade has grown more than tenfold. Currently, the number of cross-border e-commerce enterprises in China exceeds 120,000, and these enterprises have registered over 30,000 trademarks overseas. Therefore, for the Chinese market, cross-border e-commerce has become one of the important channels for Chinese enterprises to “go overseas.” Expanding overseas through cross-border e-commerce channels is also seen by many enterprises as the “spring” when all things awaken.

III. Choose the Right Cross-Border E-Commerce Platform for You

Choosing the right cross-border platform is a crucial first step to kickstarting your global e-commerce journey. By clarifying your own needs, understanding mainstream platforms, paying attention to key factors, and putting them into practice, you will be able to find the cross-border platform that best suits you, achieving global market expansion and business growth. (In the new spring when all things awaken, wishing all e-commerce enterprises booming sales in 2025).

1. Identify Your Target Market

Before starting an e-commerce business, enterprises should conduct market research. Market research can help enterprises understand the needs, competitive environment, culture and consumption habits, as well as laws and regulations of the target market. Through research and analysis, determine a target market suitable for your development. For instance, markets like Europe/US, Southeast Asia, and Japan/South Korea are all different, and various platforms have different penetration rates and influence in different markets.

2. Clarify Your Needs and Positioning

First, clarify your product type: is it FMCG (fast-moving consumer goods), electronics, clothing, or something else? Different platforms have different focuses on product types, so choosing a platform that highly matches your product is essential. Second, assess your budget and resources, including funds, team, logistics, etc. Some platforms may require a higher investment, while others are more suitable for small and medium-sized sellers.

VII. Customs Clearance Stages in Cross-Border E-Commerce

Cross-border e-commerce involves transnational transactions conducted on e-commerce platforms, encompassing four customs clearance stages: declaration, payment, logistics, and clearance. Merchants must strictly follow customs regulations in each stage to smoothly complete the customs clearance procedures.

1. Declaration Stage

Merchants need to register on the website of the General Administration of Customs of China to obtain operation rights and a registration number, and then input product information into the E-Port system. During this process, merchants must provide basic product information, price, brand, origin, specifications, etc., and upload relevant materials such as product images and videos into the system.

2. Payment Stage

After completing the entry of product information, merchants need to pay the relevant taxes and tariffs. Generally, taxes for cross-border e-commerce include value-added tax, consumption tax, and tariffs. Merchants must make payments according to customs regulations.

3. Logistics Stage

Merchants need to choose a reliable logistics company to transport the goods overseas. During this process, merchants must provide relevant materials such as the packing list and commercial invoice for customs verification and auditing.

4. Clearance Stage

After the goods arrive at destination customs, customs will inspect and verify the goods. If the goods meet the requirements, customs will release them and complete the clearance procedures. If there are issues with the goods, customs will require the merchant to make corresponding corrections and improvements.

VIII. Procedures for Taxpayers Exporting Goods via Overseas Warehouses to Declare and Process Export Tax Rebates (Exemptions)

For taxpayers exporting goods via the overseas warehouse model, after the goods have been declared to customs and departed, they can apply for export tax rebates (exemptions) using the export goods customs declaration form and other relevant material information. During actual operation, taxpayers should determine the specific declaration and processing method based on the sales status of the goods: When declaring the export tax rebate (exemption), if the goods have already been sold, apply for the rebate (exemption) according to current regulations; if the goods have not yet been sold, apply under the “tax rebate upon departure, accounting upon sale” method. That is, pre-declare and process the export tax rebate (exemption) based on materials like the export goods customs declaration form (hereinafter referred to as export pre-rebate), and subsequently conduct tax accounting based on the actual sales of the goods.
