Recently, the General Administration of Customs has issued an announcement on further promoting the development of cross-border e-commerce exports, involving four important policies such as canceling the filing of overseas warehouse enterprises for cross-border e-commerce exports. The introduction of this series of policies has undoubtedly pressed the “acceleration button” for the cross-border e-commerce industry.

Today, we will provide a detailed interpretation of the specific content of the implementation of these four policies in Guangdong Province and their impact on cross-border e-commerce sellers.

Interpretation of the Four Policies
Cancellation of Filing: Canceling the filing of overseas warehouse enterprises for cross-border e-commerce exports. This measure has greatly reduced the administrative procedures for enterprises, enabling them to carry out their businesses more efficiently.
Simplified Declaration: Simplifying the declaration procedures for documents related to cross-border e-commerce exports. Enterprises no longer need to transmit the electronic information of payment receipts, which has alleviated a certain burden on them.
New Regulatory Model: Promoting the regulatory model of “inspection before shipment” for export consolidated cargo. This model can effectively improve customs clearance efficiency, allowing goods to enter the market faster.
Cross-customs-region Return: Promoting the regulatory model for returns of cross-border e-commerce retail exports across customs regions, which simplifies the return process and provides convenience for both enterprises and consumers.

How Can Cross-border E-commerce Sellers Adapt to the New Regulatory Model
Facing the new regulatory model, sellers need to focus on aspects such as process optimization, compliance management, and resource integration. Specifically, they can respond in the following ways:

Simplified Filing Process
Now, sellers can carry out overseas warehouse businesses by completing the basic filing as a customs declaration entity and the filing as a cross-border e-commerce enterprise, without the need for additional model filing.
Action Suggestions: Sellers should sort out their internal filing processes and ensure the accuracy of basic information to avoid affecting subsequent businesses due to missing information.

Optimized Document Declaration
The requirement for transmitting the electronic information of payment receipts has been cancelled, but sellers need to ensure the integrity of transaction and logistics information.
Action Suggestions: Sellers should update their internal systems, remove the redundant data collection link of payment receipts, and strengthen the authenticity review of transaction and logistics information.

The “Inspection before Shipment” Model
Goods enter the regulatory 场所 in the form of loose cargo, and flexible consolidation can be carried out after inspection.
Action Suggestions: Sellers should cooperate with logistics service providers to adjust their transportation plans, reserve time windows for inspection. At the same time, they should optimize the warehouse layout to ensure quick consolidation after inspection and reduce the detention cost.

Convenience of Cross-customs-region Returns
Goods in the 9610 model are allowed to be returned across customs regions through pilot customs such as Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Huangpu.
Action Suggestions: Sellers can set up return processing centers in the pilot customs regions to shorten the return cycle. At the same time, they should establish a quality inspection and classification mechanism for returned goods to enable the quick resale or disposal of eligible goods.

Enterprises and sellers engaged in cross-border e-commerce exports need to be guided by policies. Through process simplification, technological empowerment, and resource coordination, they can achieve the optimization of the entire chain from filing, declaration to logistics and returns. Under the premise of compliance, they can maximize the policy dividends and enhance the competitiveness of cross-border e-commerce exports.
