Whenever we mention Cross-border Electronic Commerce, what comes to our mind is more of that Chinese sellers set up shops on the platform, such as amazon, eBay, Ali-Express, directly to global buyers (individual consumers) in the form of small parcels for foreign retail. According to the manager of Double Egret Thermal Insulation, Ltd., however, traditional small parcels’ gray Customs clearance time has past, the future of cross-border electronic commerce is filled with small orders and paperless clearance will continue to promote the export of small orders as their main sales.

     

     We are told that small parcels account for a particularly tiny proportion in the whole exportation market with a turnover of $ 15 billion, compared with overall foreign trade exports of $ 4 trillion. While small orders of CCEWOOL ceramic fiber products and CCEFIRE refractory insulation materials are thriving, which are in line with Chinese factory production characteristics and Chinese brand features, accounting for more than ten times of small parcels sales. Small orders may become the subject of cross-border electronic commerce in the future and government policies have begun to shift to small business orders. Small orders have achieved paperless clearance and the availability of tax subsidies. In contrast, traditional small parcel business development is facing the ceiling.
