Celebrating the first anniversary! The pilot reform of B2B export supervision will be promoted nationwide

According to the announcement of the General Administration of Customs, starting from July 1 this year , based on the existing pilot customs, the cross-border e-commerce B2B export supervision pilot will be replicated and promoted in customs across the country.

What is cross-border e-commerce B2B export ? One of the key words is "overseas warehouse".

Logistics delivery has always been a pain point for cross-border e-commerce sellers, especially small and micro enterprises. Different from cross-border e-commerce B2C exports, cross-border e-commerce B2B exports refer to a cross-border e-commerce export model in which domestic enterprises deliver goods to overseas enterprises or overseas warehouses through cross-border logistics and complete transactions through cross-border e-commerce platforms.

What are the reform measures for cross-border e-commerce B2B export supervision? One of the key words is "convenience".

According to a relevant person in charge from the Port Supervision Department of the General Administration of Customs, the B2B export supervision pilot program has added a special supervision method for cross-border e-commerce B2B exports and matched customs clearance facilitation measures, creating a national unified supervision information platform to compare transaction, payment, and logistics information, implement facilitation supervision measures such as list declaration and release, simplified export declaration, and innovative return supervision, to achieve full-process information-based supervision.

Before the reform was implemented, cross-border e-commerce B2B export companies could only declare customs clearance according to traditional trade methods. After the reform was implemented, cross-border e-commerce B2B exports had a special customs clearance method and enjoyed customs clearance convenience.

Hangzhou Customs is one of the first batch of pilot customs. As of July 1 this year , the pilot has been successfully carried out for one year. Over the past year, Hangzhou Customs has actively supported enterprises in its jurisdiction to expand cross-border e-commerce B2B export business and promoted new development of new foreign trade formats.

The relevant person in charge of the Port Supervision Department of Hangzhou Customs said that since the first year of the cross-border B2B export pilot, the development trend has been good, and more and more e-commerce companies are developing this new business. The expansion of the B2B export pilot this time highlights the characteristics of the new business format, such as high degree of informatization and traceability of platform transaction data. Customs further releases the dividends of reform and adopts targeted supervision and innovation measures such as one-time registration, one-stop connection, simplified declaration, convenient customs clearance, and priority inspection.

During the epidemic, in order to promote the development of new forms of cross-border e-commerce, help cross-border e-commerce export enterprises actively cope with the impact of the epidemic, promote the stability and quality of foreign trade, and provide support for employment and market entities, the General Administration of Customs launched a cross-border e-commerce B2B export supervision pilot in many places from July 1, 2020. In addition to Hangzhou, the first batch of pilot areas also include 22 directly affiliated customs in Beijing, Tianjin, Nanjing, Hangzhou, Ningbo, Xiamen, Zhengzhou, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Huangpu , etc.

The new model of cross-border e-commerce B2B export supervision conforms to the needs of cross-border e-commerce companies for batch exports, provides a more convenient choice for cross-border e-commerce export companies, and also provides "Chinese wisdom" and "Chinese solutions" for the development of the cross-border e-commerce market .
