Strong growth in cross-border e-commerce imports and exports in Zhejiang Province in the first half of the year

According to statistics from Hangzhou Customs, the import and export of cross-border e-commerce in Zhejiang has maintained a strong growth trend. In the first half of this year, the customs has supervised a total of 51.06 billion yuan in cross-border e-commerce imports and exports, a year-on-year increase of 8.7%.

In the production workshop of Lingban Technology (Hangzhou) Co., Ltd., a batch of AI smart glasses are being packaged and loaded onto trucks, and these goods will soon be sold overseas through cross-border e-commerce. Through cross-border e-commerce platforms, we can showcase the latest products to overseas consumers, quickly understand consumer needs and suggestions, and better promote new product research and development, "said Ji Mengmeng, the cross-border logistics manager of the company. With the help of cross-border e-commerce models, the company has successfully expanded into international markets such as South Korea and Singapore this year. In the first half of the year, the export of smart glasses increased fourfold year-on-year.

In order to facilitate the export logistics channels of cross-border e-commerce, Hangzhou Customs has innovatively constructed the "TIR+Cross border E-commerce" model. Under this model, cross-border e-commerce goods can be transported with full process convenience, including "one declaration, one vehicle direct delivery, and one box to the end". TIR international road transportation has the characteristics of flexibility, easy loading and unloading, and low dependence on infrastructure, making it very suitable for cross-border e-commerce small package exports. ”Ke Jianqiang, Customs Manager of Yula (Hangzhou) International Supply Chain Co., Ltd., said.

While helping domestic products go global, cross-border e-commerce also facilitates domestic consumers. In the Hangzhou Cross border E-commerce Pilot Zone, e-commerce companies have moved their live streaming rooms to imported goods warehouses. While the host enthusiastically explains various imported goods, warehouse staff quickly complete sorting, packaging, and labeling operations. Real time information such as product orders and logistics is transmitted to the customs clearance system, and after automatic comparison, it achieves "instant inspection and release".

Behind efficient customs clearance is the full chain intelligent supervision explored and implemented by Hangzhou Customs. We are equipped with '5G intelligent individual soldiers' on site, which can scan the barcode of imported goods to obtain information such as the origin and ingredient content of the goods, providing efficient assistance for on-site inspection. ”Introduction by Wang Hao, Director of Qianjiang Customs Office in Xiasha under Hangzhou Customs. At present, Hangzhou Customs has initially built a database containing more than 30000 basic barcodes and 55 negative list product barcodes, and has expanded the application of product barcodes to fields such as security access and quality monitoring.

Next, Hangzhou Customs will continue to rely on the advantages of the Cross border E-commerce Comprehensive Pilot Zone platform to further smooth the import and export trade links of cross-border e-commerce, and provide precise and efficient customs supervision services to help promote the high-quality development of new forms of cross-border e-commerce.
