The difference between cross-border electronic commerce and domestic e-commerce

Cross-border electronic commerce's business links are more complicated. Need to go through customs clearance, inspection and quarantine, foreign exchange settlement, export tax rebate, import tax collection and other links. In the transportation of goods, cross-border e-commerce leaves the country by express delivery, and it takes longer for goods to be sold to foreign consumers. Because of the long distance, the goods are easy to be damaged, the express delivery capacity of various countries is relatively limited, and the growing number of parcels is also easy to cause trade friction. Domestic e-commerce takes place in China, and goods are delivered to consumers by express delivery, with short journey, fast arrival speed and low probability of damage to goods.

2. Differences in transaction subjects

The subjects of e-commerce transactions are generally in China, domestic enterprises to enterprises, domestic enterprises to individuals or domestic individuals to individuals. The theme of cross-border electronic commerce transaction must be the transaction between customs. It may be domestic enterprises to overseas enterprises, domestic enterprises to overseas individuals, or domestic individuals to overseas individuals. Trading subjects are all over the world and have different consumption habits, cultural psychology and living habits, which requires cross-border e-commerce to have a deeper understanding of the introduction of traffic from various countries, the promotion and marketing of various countries, the behavior of foreign consumers and the construction of international brands, and the complexity is far greater than that of domestic e-commerce.

3. Differences in transaction risks

Domestic enterprises only have a weak awareness of property rights, and a large number of low-quality goods without brands and counterfeit goods flood the cross-border electronic commerce market, infringing on intellectual property rights, and so on. In countries with perfect business environment and legal system, it is easy to cause intellectual property disputes. Domestic e-commerce behavior takes place in the same country, and both sides have a unified understanding of intellectual property rights such as trademarks and brands. There are fewer disputes caused by infringement, and it is more convenient for disputes to arise in a short time.

In addition to domestic platforms, cross-border e-commerce business platforms may also conduct transactions on foreign platforms, and the operating rules of each platform are different.
