"Bonded Warehouse" As The Starting Point, Delivery Time Shortened By 2~3 Days.

In China, consumers have passed recently.

The purchase of goods from overseas has increased significantly.

The background is that with the relaxation of restrictions, even individuals can easily import goods from abroad.

In China, milk powder, diapers, healthy food and

The demand for imported goods is growing as products focus.

It is estimated that consumption of overseas imports through the network will reach 1 trillion yuan by 2018.

Bonded warehouse has become the starting point.

In the suburb of Hangzhou, Zhejiang, there is no customs clearance procedure to temporarily store import and export products.

The warehouse is filled with imported milk products, such as milk powder, diapers and weight loss supplements, from Australia and the United States.

In the warehouse of the bonded area, the staff of the courier company subdivide the goods and distribute them to the Chinese subscribers after packaging.

Starting from the warehouse, imported goods were sent to China from north to south of Heilongjiang province to Guangdong province.

The person in charge said confidently: "the order can be delivered to the consumer in a few days".

In the past, it was not easy to buy overseas products online in China.

According to the past process, every order from overseas customers from Chinese consumers will be exported to China by air freight and so on.

Even in China, commodities need a long time to go through customs formalities.

A Chinese online shopper said, "it will take 1 months to get the goods."

Nowadays, the use of bonded warehouses can greatly save time and cost.

Overseas businesses use container ships to centrally pport commodities to China at low cost, and goods can be stored in bonded warehouses in China without the need for customs clearance.

After receiving the order from Chinese consumers, they can deliver goods directly from the bonded warehouse.

As a result, the delivery time can be reduced to 2~3 days.

Customs clearance procedures only need to be processed when goods are out of stock, which can greatly reduce the tax burden of businesses.

Since it is regarded as a personal import product, it will not be subject to import tariffs in most cases except personal computers and other electrical products and food products.

Previously, when goods were imported, they had to go through customs formalities, which was equivalent to the tariff paid before sales.

"The price of goods shipped through bonded warehouses can be reduced by about 2, compared with ordinary imports," the Japanese electricity supplier said.

The electricity business of bonded warehouse is still in its infancy.

In addition to the "China (Shanghai) free trade pilot zone" set up in Shanghai in September last year, the bonded areas of Hangzhou and Ningbo, Guangdong and Guangzhou in Zhejiang province are also experimenting with the bonded warehouse for the electricity market.

Overseas electric business enterprises have not let the Chinese government relax the restrictions.

In the Shanghai Free Trade Zone, besides the US Amazon, Thailand's largest chaebol group (CP) will join hands with Itou Chuya.

The online sale of overseas goods will be launched and preparations are being made.

In terms of Chinese enterprises, Alibaba group will join hands with customs departments such as Hangzhou, Ningbo and Guangzhou to make positive use of bonded warehouses to expand sales of imported goods.

According to Nelson, an American research firm, in 2013, 18 million people in China bought overseas goods through the Internet, amounting to 216 billion yuan.

The reason why Chinese consumers buy imported goods from overseas is that China lacks domestic consumers' imports and counterfeits.

According to Nelson, by 2018, the number of consumers who purchase overseas goods will increase to 35 million 600 thousand, and the consumption will exceed 1 trillion yuan.

The government will also benefit from bonded warehouses.

The mechanism of importing overseas goods through bonded warehouses will also benefit the Chinese government.

All along, many Chinese online shoppers have bought overseas goods through overseas purchasing agents.

These buyers send their products as personal belongings to China through international express delivery (EMS), so the customs can not check all parcels.

According to the China Electronic Commerce Research Center, the volume of online shopping through overseas purchasing agents in 2014 will increase to 2 times that of last year, reaching 154 billion 900 million yuan.

Purchasing agents sometimes bring their merchandise back to China by themselves.

Most of the goods will not go through customs.

Therefore, from the point of view of customs authorities, the risk of illicit products flowing into China is increasing.

The use of bonded warehouses will help reduce these risks.

Using bonded warehouses, goods can be inspected strictly when goods are put into storage, and shall be taxed according to regulations when leaving the warehouse.

Although bonded warehouses are only available in some parts of Shanghai free trade area and Hangzhou bonded area, the Chinese authorities plan to build a bonded warehouse mechanism across the country.
