What are the benefits of cross-border e-commerce

Cross-border electronic commerce refers to an international business activity in which transaction subjects belonging to different customs reach a deal, make payment and settlement through e-commerce platform, and deliver goods and complete the transaction through cross-border logistics. Cross-border electronic commerce has promoted the economic development, and at the same time started the transformation of world trade, which has brought benefits to many enterprises and consumers.

First of all, cross-border electronic commerce provides new opportunities for enterprises to build international brands.

In the Internet era, brand and word-of-mouth are important components of enterprise competitiveness, and are also key factors to win the favor of consumers. At present, the quality and performance of products and services of many domestic enterprises are very good, but they are not known to overseas consumers. Cross-border electronic commerce can effectively break the channel monopoly, reduce intermediate links, save transaction costs and shorten transaction time, which provides an effective way for China enterprises to create brands and enhance brand awareness, especially for some "small but beautiful" small and medium-sized enterprises, thus creating more "invisible champions" with international competitiveness. At present, 80% foreign trade enterprises in China have begun to use e-commerce to explore overseas markets.

Second, cross-border electronic commerce is a new impetus to promote the upgrading of industrial structure.

The development of cross-border electronic commerce has directly promoted the development of modern service industries such as logistics distribution, electronic payment, electronic authentication, information content service and related electronic information manufacturing industry. At present, there are more than 5,000 e-commerce platform enterprises in China, and a number of well-known e-commerce platform enterprises, logistics express delivery and third-party payment local enterprises have accelerated their rise. More prominently, cross-border electronic commerce will lead to changes in the mode of production and industrial organization. Facing the diversified, multi-level and personalized overseas consumption demand, enterprises must take consumers as the center, strengthen cooperation and innovation, build a perfect service system, strengthen R&D design and brand sales while improving product manufacturing technology and quality, reconstruct value chain and industrial chain, and maximize the optimal allocation of resources.

Third, cross-border electronic commerce has provided a new starting point for the government to improve the level of opening up.

The development of cross-border electronic commerce involves commerce, customs, inspection and quarantine, finance, taxation, quality supervision, finance and other departments, as well as international cooperation in many fields. This not only puts forward new requirements for the government's rapid response ability, innovation ability and cooperation ability, but also puts forward new challenges to the government's traditional system and mechanism. Taking cross-border electronic commerce as the starting point, promoting the resource sharing, efficient operation, unified cooperation and innovative services of various government departments will play a powerful role in promoting the level of opening up of our government.
