A few days ago, under the supervision of Dongli Customs, which is subordinate to Tianjin Customs, the 5000 bicycles exported by Tianjin Fujida Bicycle Industry Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Fujida Bicycle) were successfully shipped and will soon be exported overseas, realizing the company's "good start" in cross-border e-commerce export business in 2023. "As a traditional industry, since we adopted the new trade mode of cross-border e-commerce to declare export at the customs, foreign retailers and wholesalers can directly contact with our production enterprises, reduce the intermediate links, increase the order volume, and save a lot of costs." Lu Lihong, the customs manager of Fujida Bicycle, said that now this has become the main way for enterprises to export. According to Li Nan, the head of the comprehensive business section of Dongli Customs, "cross-border e-commerce has opened a new channel for the transformation and upgrading of traditional manufacturing industry. Online sales and transactions make the export of traditional manufacturing products more convenient and efficient, and more high-quality and distinctive products can be recommended to more consumers through the cross-border e-commerce platform to obtain greater profits." In order to help manufacturing enterprises make good use of this new way of cross-border e-commerce, Tianjin Customs also introduced a variety of corresponding supporting measures. "Generally, at the beginning of the year, we will deliver goods in a centralized manner to ensure that the new model of the year will be put on the shelves quickly. But this year's Spring Festival comes early, so our orders are also very popular during the holiday." Lu Lihong said that whether each batch of goods can be cleared and loaded on time will have a great impact on the overall logistics costs, and the customs' "direct loading at arrival" mode has helped a lot. It is understood that under the "direct loading upon arrival" mode, the goods do not need to be stored in the storage yard. They can be loaded, pre-loaded and declared at the same time when they are in the factory. They can make an appointment to gather at the port before the ship is closed, and then ship directly for export after arriving at the port. "This model not only improves the transport efficiency, but also reduces the logistics costs, which gives us more confidence in using cross-border e-commerce for export." Lu Lihong said, "In 2022, the export volume of enterprises under the cross-border e-commerce trade mode has exceeded 1.6 billion yuan. At present, enterprises are trying to open up new markets. The efficient customs clearance has added confidence to our better application of the cross-border e-commerce export mode." In order to further help local manufacturing enterprises to enjoy the cross-border e-commerce export dividend, Tianjin Customs has actively taken a number of measures to promote trade facilitation, adhering to the working idea of "platform+industry", We will guide the deep integration of traditional industries and e-commerce platform enterprises, and "one enterprise and one policy" will help enterprises transform and upgrade. At the same time, we will give full play to the role of "grid group" of enterprises, find out the base number of import and export enterprises, fully investigate the needs of enterprises to carry out cross-border e-commerce business, and carry out precise policy propaganda according to the needs of the industry. In addition, we will continue to promote the "cross-border e-commerce B2B export service platform", guide enterprises to complete filing and registration, system docking, information declaration and other work, and provide whole-process policy guidance for enterprises interested in opening overseas warehouse business. According to statistics, the export value of cross-border e-commerce B2B at Tianjin Port reached 8.6 billion yuan in January. In the next step, Tianjin Customs will continue to implement various measures to promote the stability and quality of foreign trade, provide whole-process policy guidance and assistance to enterprises, continue to promote the expansion of cross-border e-commerce, give full play to the penetration of cross-border e-commerce, promote the optimization and upgrading of foreign trade, and fully help the manufacturing industry go to sea.
