What kind of cross-border supply chain should we choose?

Choosing a good cross-border supply chain refers to providing a one-stop solution for a company's cross-border trade from the performance settlement, including a series of supply chain service solutions such as logistics, financing, customs clearance, tax refund and foreign exchange settlement, and providing corresponding services for every link in international trade.

Cross-border supply chain is:

Cross-border supply chain is a supply chain in which the acquisition of means of production, the organization of product production, the flow and sale of goods and the acquisition of information are carried out and realized on a global scale. Cross-border supply chain is a functional network chain structure around core enterprises, which connects suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, retailers and end users into a whole by controlling information flow, logistics and capital flow. Starting from purchasing raw materials, it manufactures intermediate products and final products, and finally delivers products to consumers through sales networks. Cross-border supply chain is not only the logistics chain, information chain and capital chain connecting suppliers and users, but also the value-added chain. Materials in the supply chain increase in value due to processing, packaging and transportation, which brings benefits to related enterprises.

The role of cross-border supply chain in the process of foreign trade;

At present, all cross-border supply chain models are basically the same. Let's take the cross-border supply chain of Alibaba International Station as an example to talk about the role of cross-border supply chain in foreign trade.

Alibaba's cross-border supply chain service lowers the threshold of foreign trade export by providing full-link services for merchants. The cross-border supply chain service of Alibaba International Station provides one-stop solutions for payment, settlement, customs, logistics, taxation, finance and other cross-border trade of small and medium-sized enterprises around the world. Secondly, the cross-border supply chain of Alibaba International Station provides fast and low-cost customs clearance, foreign exchange collection, tax refund and supporting tax refund financing and international logistics services for foreign trade enterprises with the help of Internet technology, and solves the service problems in the circulation of foreign trade enterprises with the help of e-commerce.

Take the procurement festival in September this year as an example. The cross-border supply chain of Alibaba International Station indicated that it would reduce the performance cost to the lowest level in the whole year, and the services provided such as customs clearance, logistics, payment and remittance would save businesses up to 50% of the cost. The handling fee paid by the new buyer to the bank is paid by the platform. It is really cost-effective to think about it carefully, and if necessary, you can consider making full use of this policy advantage.
