Insiders believe that Cross-border E-commerce as a new form of business, will become one of the main channels of international trade, our enterprises should participate as soon as possible to seize more international market share. However, the development of Cross-border e-commerce is fragmented, networked and instantaneous, which is free from the current supervision system, and faces many challenges, such as settlement, customs clearance, taxation and so on, and it needs various legal systems and norms to "escort" to occupy the commanding heights of the future competition.

A new platform for the cross-border "gold rush" of small and medium-sized enterprises

Chongqing West Wing Micro-electric park has attracted Beimaster, Amoy International, such as Cross-border electric business enterprises and Cross-border electric business platform stationed in the bonded import of cross-border trade electric dealers pilot. Beimaster International Trade Chongqing Co., Ltd. General Manager Huangster introduced, consumers in the past through overseas purchasing generally need half a month or even one months to receive goods, but also often lost the case, and the use of Cross-border electric platform, consumers from the next single to receive goods, generally only 2-3 days, and the price is very advantageous. For example, a Philips razor, the domestic price of 1800 yuan, foreign prices of about 1000 yuan, through the cross-border electric business platform to buy, the price of only about 1200 yuan.

and Beimaster International Trade Chongqing Co., Ltd., a growing number of small and medium-sized foreign trade enterprises, entrepreneurs to the vision of Cross-border trade E-commerce import and export business. Hangzhou "Whole Wheat Net" by 3 university students founder, this not big website 4 years in 14 languages to the world more than 200 countries to sell clothing, bags and other goods, the current sales have more than 100 million U.S. dollars.

Statistics show that in recent years, China's import and export growth gradually slowed down, but the same period of China's Cross-border e-commerce development Strong, according to the Ministry of Commerce published Statistics, 2013, the national trans-boundary electricity trader turnover reached 3.1 trillion yuan, accounting for 12.1% of total imports and exports, 7.5% higher than 2008. Cross-border electric dealers are generally exported through the mail, the General administration of Customs announced last year, the volume of exports of 500 million parcels, more than the normal 1.2 billion packages of violent increase several times.

The rapid growth of the Cross-border electric business sector, in addition to their own research on the power generation platform, more small and medium-sized foreign trade enterprises through ebay, Alibaba, Amazon, Dunhuang network, such as large electric business platform, try to export online exports. According to incomplete statistics, China's various platform enterprises have more than 5,000, through the platform to carry out cross-border e-commerce foreign trade enterprises more than 200,000.

Zhejiang Yiwu pandorum Information Technology Co., Ltd. in 2013 to achieve sales of 250 million yuan, the realization of the global ebay jewelry category of small goods sales ranked first, this 1-May to achieve sales of 110 million yuan, growth of 70%. "If we have been doing traditional foreign trade, we can not get rid of the lowest end of the dilemma, Cross-border E-commerce is the best choice, our profits could reach the traditional foreign trade 4-5 times." "Yiwu Pandorum Information technology company responsible person said.

A number of experts believe that compared to traditional foreign trade, Cross-border E-commerce advantages are very obvious. Cross-border e-commerce not only has the partial compression of e-commerce, to resolve overcapacity, to provide SMEs with the traditional advantages of development, but also to reshape the international industrial chain, promote the development of foreign trade, enhance international competitiveness, etc., should innovate the regulatory model, increase support, occupy the commanding heights of future foreign trade.

Multiple hidden dangers behind the rise of "dark Horse"

Reporter interviewed learned that although Cross-border E-commerce in recent years ushered in the outbreak of development, but "barbaric growth" behind also exposed the relevant policies are not sound, settlement, customs clearance, taxation and other ancillary supervision and service measures and not the top hidden dangers, but also contains consumer rights and interests protection and stability and other risks.

The head of a large cross-border electricity business in the east told reporters their own business is daily necessities, the general price of dozens of U.S. dollars, most of the package directly or indirectly through the logistics company to go to the other country, with commercial parcels mixed into civilian parcels, this is the reality of the conventions, but also to avoid customs and tax, Because of the small volume of a single business, it will not attract the attention of regulators. But once the volume of business is large, it is easy to arouse the vigilance of customs and tax authorities, and once verified, it will face huge fines and even criminal liability.

"I have been in business for more than three years, and it's getting more and more sleepless at night," he said. Our company has been listed as the main concern of the national tax, it is feared that the day is checked, it is not just a matter of fines. The head of the business said.

In addition, postal, settlement and other supporting measures lag far behind the development of cross-border electricity dealers, affecting the effectiveness of trade policy. It is understood that the number of small parcels of cross-border electricity growth, frequent closures on holidays often occurred. At the same time the other countries due to a large influx of parcels, the efficiency is worse. More importantly, these parcels for the other countries of the Government, especially the tax system and the retail system, is extremely damaging, showing that countries began to develop a postman some of the policies, anti-Chinese parcels into large quantities. such as Brazil, Argentina, Russia and other emerging countries reacted quickly, has begun to tighten the mail parcel entry management policy.

Reporter to understand that, in addition to mail, the way of settlement is also free from supervision, many times the use of the "river-Lake approach." Lin Wen-shou, general manager of a foreign trade company in Hangzhou, said that the current Cross-border electricity dealers in the settlement due to irregular customs, most can only be logistics companies, private banks, individual settlement of foreign exchange to solve the issue of currency transfer.

At the same time, there exists the risk that the consumers ' rights and interests are not protected. A customs expert said that due to the large number of imported electric dealers abroad, not subject to domestic legal norms and restrictions, consumer rights and interests are violated, domestic laws are difficult to implement effective protection. Due to the particularity of Cross-border e-commerce transaction mode, the pluralism of the subject, the asymmetry of information, the drugs, the prohibited print, and even the nuclear biochemical explosion are the items of great hidden danger to the social security, it is easy to import by the way of separating hiding, evade the regulation, and the supervision departments such as customs are more difficult to carry out effective attack, which poses

Dominant business needs government service and regulation to "keep up"

Relevant experts believe that although Cross-border E-commerce has been a breakthrough development, but the fragmentation, immediacy characteristics of Cross-border E-commerce is challenging the traditional supervision, but also has multiple hidden dangers. We should make clear the positioning of Cross-border electric power suppliers, establish a regulatory and supporting system to adapt to the development of cross-border electricity dealers, and promote the development of cross-border electrical business standards.

A senior customs expert says defining the trade attributes of Cross-border E-commerce is the basis for cracking down on problems. After defining the trade position of the Trans-boundary electric commerce, we should study and formulate a regulatory policy suitable for the development of Cross-border E-business, develop a unified Cross-border E-commerce platform, realize customs and electronic commerce, third party payment, and logistics business, and integrate Cross-border e-business into the scope of customs supervision.

"With the supervision of the development of cross-boundary electricity dealers, services should be followed." To achieve Cross-border E-commerce in accordance with the regular channel knot to pay sinks to promote e-commerce enterprises to the regularization, large-scale development. At the same time, we should gradually apply which tariff policy and how to establish a clear collection and management system for the goods imported from Cross-border E-commerce. "he said.

Tai Lung Network China Limited Long Research Institute researchers said that because of Cross-border electricity trader trade fragmentation characteristics, also decided that some small parcels will exist for a long time. Therefore, this part of the regularization of the procedures must be very simple and quick, in accordance with the general export of Customs, inspection procedures are not likely to be achieved, this small parcel area only need to carry out fast, efficient customs statistics can be. Small foreign trade, small orders but need to sunshine, the most concerned about their interests are: tax rebate, customs clearance convenient efficiency, international collection cost, small order supply chain financial services.

Reporter learned that in the development of cross-border electrical business, export commodities logistics bottlenecks in the increasingly obvious constraints, resulting in high cost of small goods logistics, customs clearance package transit time long. Some people in the industry have suggested that this would force Cross-border electricity dealers to make positions overseas. The extensive use of "overseas warehouses" will change the logistics ecology of the Cross-border electric dealer's retail export industry, achieve local delivery, speed up the delivery of goods, increase the click-through rate of the shops and promote the sales speed of the goods.
