Cross-border e-commerce (“CBEC”) is an umbrella term for cross-border e-commerce retail imports and exports. Cross-border e-commerce retail import refers to the process whereby consumers in China purchase goods from abroad through a cross-border e-commerce third-party platform operator and transport them into the country using either online bonded import (Customs Supervision Mode Code 1210), online bonded import A (Customs Supervision Mode Code 1239) or direct purchase import (Customs Supervision Mode Code 9610).

In recent years, China's cross-border e-commerce retail import and export has grown rapidly, due to the expansion of the 2020 cross-border e-commerce retail import pilot program to 86 cities and the Hainan Island. The program has not expanded to all Pilot Free Trade Zones (FTZs), cross-border e-commerce pilot zones, comprehensive bonded zones, import trade promotion innovation demonstration zones, and bonded logistics centers in the city and region.

Today will focus on the legal and fiscal matters involved in cross-border e-commerce retail imports under the model of online bonded import.
