Henan’s Practice in Developing Cross-border E-commerce Comprehensive Pilot Zone

跨境电商综试区建设的河南探索

Cross-border e-commerce, a new business form, has no ready-made patterns to follow, but requires innovations in system, management and service to improve ecological system and empower industrial development.

China (Zhengzhou) Cross-border E-commerce Comprehensive Pilot Zone was approved by the State Council in 2016. What innovations have Henan made over the past 4 years in aspects of system and patterns? On September 18, the reporter interviewed an official from Henan Provincial Department of Commerce.

从2016年获批建设跨境电商综合试验区至今，河南在制度和模式创新上有哪些成功的探索？9月18日，记者采访了省商务厅相关负责人。

“Generally speaking, with the strategy of innovation-driven development, Henan has realized breakthroughs in supervision system, business process and business mode,” said the official.

“总的来说，我省坚持以创新驱动发展，在监管制度、业务流程和商业模式三个方面实现了突破。”该负责人说。

As for the supervision system, guided by trade facilitation, Henan has launched a customs supervision mode featuring “e-commerce+parcel supervision+bonded center” (code of customs supervision mode: 1210) and implemented “double classification” and differentiated supervision for e-commerce enterprises and products imported through cross-border e-commerce. Such a “Zhengzhou mode” has not only been promoted in other comprehensive pilot zones across China, but also offered  reference to the formulation of standard framework for global cross-border e-commerce. In the special supervision zone, multiple types of goods are allowed to be stored and commercially processed in the same place, including 4 import and export models for retail trade, namely bonded import, direct-purchase import, regional export and general export. In 2020, a pilot project of cross-border e-commerce B2B supervision mode has been launched to help facilitate their customs clearance.

据介绍，在监管制度方面，我省以贸易便利化为导向，首创“电子商务+行邮监管+保税中心”通关监管模式（即“1210”跨境保税进口模式），对跨境电子商务进口商品和电商企业实行“双分级”、差别化监管，为跨境电商发展提供了“郑州模式”，目前已在国内其他综试区复制推广，并为世界海关跨境电商标准框架的制定提供了借鉴。在特殊监管区允许多类型商品在同一个场所内进行存储和商业处理，实现网购保税进口、直购进口、区域出口、一般出口4种零售进出口模式同区作业。2020年正式启动跨境电商企业对企业监管试点，推动跨境电商B2B企业便利化通关。

As for the business process, Henan was the first to implement a policy of verifying three documents, including transaction, payment and logistics, to help promote paperless customs clearance. By deepening the construction of a “Single Window” for international trade, Henan has built a data-sharing platform for enterprises’ customs clearance and improved the efficiency in the way of “one-step declaration”online and “one-step inspection and one-step release” offline. At the same time, other measures like “simplified declaration and list-based clearance”, “double random” inspection system, 24/7 service, etc., have been carried out to realize a fast customs clearance for cross-border e-commerce products. As a result, its average daily processing capacity has reached 10 million (parcels) with a clearance speed of 500 orders per second.

在业务流程方面，率先采用交易信息、支付信息、物流信息“三单比对”，推动通关作业无纸化。我省加快建设河南国际贸易“单一窗口”，业务流程“串联”改“并联”，实现企业通关数据共享共用，线上“一次申报”，线下“一次查验、一次放行”。同时，创新实施“简化申报、清单核放”、抽查制度“双随机”、“7×24”小时无休作业等措施，对跨境电商产品“即报即备”“即查即放”，跑出了日均处理能力1000万包、通关速度500单/秒的“河南速度”。

As for the business mode, Henan has developed an O2O retail business pattern characterized by “one pavilion with multiple business modes” and “one pavilion with multiple business forms”. The locally built “global cross-border supermarket” has not only opened up a new channel for consumption, but also satisfied the diversified needs of the masses and enriched their life. Early in 2018, to innovate its development mode of industrial ecology, Henan launched the construction of EWTO core function cluster area and promoted the “1210” customs supervision mode in other countries, so as to further build its image of “Global Buying and Selling ”.

商业模式方面，河南探索发展“一馆多模式”“一馆多业态”跨境电商O2O零售商业模式，跨境商品“立等可取”，建起了市民家门口的“世界商品超市”，开辟了新的消费渠道，满足了大众个性化消费需求，丰富了人民群众生活。早在2018年，河南就创新产业生态培育模式，启动E贸易核心功能集聚区建设，并推动“1210”进口模式向境外复制，进一步叫响“买全球、卖全球”河南品牌。（中文来源/河南日报 翻译/赵汉青 审校/丁岚）
