Opening up a New Channel for the Transformation and Upgrading of Traditional Manufacturing Industry - Cross border E-commerce Sails "Made in China" to the Sea

Recently,under the supervision of Dongli Customs,a subsidiary of Tianjin Customs,5000 bicycles exported by Tianjin Fujida Bicycle Industry Co.,Ltd.(hereinafter referred to as Fujida Bicycles)were successfully loaded onto the ship and will soon be exported overseas,achieving a successful start to the company's cross-border e-commerce export business in 2023.

As a traditional industry,since we adopted the new trade method of cross-border e-commerce to declare exports at customs,foreign retailers and wholesalers can have direct contact with our production enterprises,reduce intermediate links,increase order volume,and save a lot of costs."said Lu Lihong,customs manager of Fushida Bicycle,which has now become the main way for enterprises to export.

According to Li Nan,the head of the Comprehensive Business Department of Dongli Customs,"Cross border e-commerce has opened up a new channel for the transformation and upgrading of traditional manufacturing industries.Completing sales and transactions online makes the export of traditional manufacturing products more convenient and efficient.More high-quality and distinctive products can be recommended to more consumers through cross-border e-commerce platforms,earning greater profits

In order to help manufacturing enterprises make good use of the new method of cross-border e-commerce,Tianjin Customs has also introduced various corresponding supporting measures.

At the beginning of the year,we usually concentrate on shipping to ensure that the annual new models are quickly launched.However,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 significant impact on the overall logistics costs,and the customs'"direct loading upon arrival"model has been a great help.

It is understood that in the"direct loading upon arrival"mode,the goods do not need to be stored in the yard.They can be loaded,pre prepared,and declared at the factory while making an appointment to gather at the port before the ship closes,and then loaded and exported directly upon arrival at the port.

This model not only improves transportation efficiency but also reduces logistics costs,giving us more confidence in using cross-border e-commerce for export."Lu Lihong said,"In 2022,the export volume of enterprises under cross-border e-commerce trade has exceeded 1.6 billion yuan.Currently,enterprises are striving to explore new markets,and the efficient customs clearance has added confidence to our better application of cross-border e-commerce for export

To further assist local manufacturing enterprises in enjoying the dividends of cross-border e-commerce exports,Tianjin Customs actively adopts multiple measures to promote trade facilitation,adheres to the"platform+industry"work philosophy,guides the deep integration of traditional industries and e-commerce platform enterprises,and"one enterprise,one policy"helps enterprises transform and upgrade.At the same time,we will leverage the role of enterprise"grid groups"to understand the bottom line of import and export enterprises,fully investigate the needs of enterprises to carry out cross-border e-commerce business,and carry out precise policy lectures tailored to industry needs.In addition,we will continue to promote the"cross-border e-commerce B2B export service platform",guide enterprises in completing registration,system integration,information declaration,and other work,and provide full process policy guidance for enterprises interested in opening overseas warehouse business.

According to statistics,the cross-border e-commerce B2B export volume at Tianjin Port in January reached 8.6 billion yuan.Next,Tianjin Customs will continue to implement various measures to promote the stability and quality improvement of foreign trade,provide full process policy guidance and assistance to enterprises,continue to promote the expansion and expansion of cross-border e-commerce,fully leverage the penetration role of cross-border e-commerce,promote the optimization and upgrading of foreign trade,and fully assist the manufacturing industry in going overseas.
