Cross-border E-commerce Strategy Luncheon Series (1) - On Your Mark!! Start your Cross-border E-commerce Trade Now

Capturing the infinite opportunities under new China tax policy and cross-border e-commerce fulfilment rules

With increasing income and emerging trend of digitalization, Chinese shoppers are now looking for one-of-a-kind, authentic and quality products. They are shifting from purchasing low-price domestic products to foreign goods which leads to a booming demand on cross-border e-commerce. According to a recent survey released by McKinsey[1], Chinese cross-border e-commerce sales amounted up to USD 40 billion (nearly 259 billion renminbi) in 2015. To facilitate customs clearance and stem illegal gray-market imports, the China government established cross-border e-commerce comprehensive pilot zones in 12 cities last year and posted new duty tax policy on 8 April 2016. So how could foreign brands and retailers capture the new opportunities? During this luncheon, our guest speaker will share:

 

•    Channels of cross border e-commerce (Operation flow) (with price reference)
     1) B2C by Mail Channel 
     2) B2C by Courier
