What does cross border import direct mail, bonded warehouse direct mail mean?

Cross-border import direct mail refers to the BC model, where customers place orders abroad and send them back to China for express delivery.

Customs supervision mode ** "9610", the full name of "cross-border ** e-commerce", referred to as "e-commerce", called import direct mail, is applicable to domestic individuals or e-commerce enterprises through the e-commerce trading platform to achieve transactions, and the use of the "list of checks, summary declaration" mode for customs clearance procedures of e-commerce retail import and export commodities (except for e-commerce retail import and export commodities through special customs supervision areas or bonded supervision places).

Customs supervision method ** "1210", the full name is "bonded cross-border ** e-commerce", referred to as "bonded e-commerce", called bonded warehouse direct mail. It is applicable to domestic individuals or e-commerce enterprises to achieve cross-border transactions on e-commerce platforms recognized by the Customs, and to enter and exit e-commerce retail inbound and outbound goods through special customs supervision areas or bonded supervision places (retail import and export goods traded through e-commerce platforms between special customs supervision areas, bonded supervision places and outside the domestic area (outside the premises) are not subject to this supervision method).

The "1210" supervision method is used for imports, and is limited to special customs supervision areas and bonded logistics centers (Type B) that have been approved to carry out cross-border ** e-commerce import pilots.

The bonded warehouse shipment is domestic. Bonded warehouse delivery is also from the domestic bonded warehouse delivery, these goods are imported in bulk from overseas, stored and arranged for delivery. If the goods are shipped from the bonded warehouse, I don't know how long the product has been hoarded, and to a certain extent, there may be defective products.

However, it is cheaper than overseas direct mail.

Advantages and disadvantages of bonded warehouse issuanceAdvantages: The bonded warehouse is a warehouse approved by the customs in China to store bonded goods and other goods that have not completed customs procedures. Personally, the bonded warehouse is actually similar to the overseas warehouse of cross-border export e-commerce, which is also a warehouse established in the local area of the consumer to store overseas products and sell them to local consumers, which greatly improves the effectiveness of logistics and reduces the cost of logistics and transportation.

Disadvantages: But at the same time, it also has a defect that the category of goods is single, and it is easy to cause inventory backlog if there are many products. Moreover, domestic bonded warehouses are greatly affected by the policy, which can lead to the closure of cross-border import e-commerce platforms.

As one of the main modes of import cross-border e-commerce, bonded import is popular because of its own advantages:

1. The bonded import mode adopts the pilot temporary storage mode of goods, after the consumer places an order on the platform, the goods are sent directly from the bonded warehouse, which avoids the time on the international transportation line, can get the goods quickly, and can have a better consumption experience for consumers.

2. The bonded import model greatly reduces the preferential tax policies of import tax, and centralized procurement can greatly reduce the procurement cost and logistics cost of goods, and the above factors can bring higher profits and more competitiveness to imported products.

3. The full name of the bonded import goods in the import customs clearance is strictly monitored, and the information of each process is transparent and transparent, which can better ensure the quality of the goods themselves and the interests of consumers.

Based on the above points, the bonded stocking model has always been one of the indispensable models for import e-commerce, but at the same time, the bonded stocking model also has the following shortcomings:

1. Because it is a stocking inventory model, and the market control of each platform is not very accurate, it has always been a headache for each platform in the amount of imported goods.

2. Because of its large requirements for the quantity of products, the bonded stocking mode cannot flexibly make detailed adjustments according to market dynamics, and the coverage rate of emerging and small goods is low.

Direct mail import is a form of consumption in which consumers directly ship goods from overseas through express delivery, customs clearance, and entry after purchasing overseas goods. Direct mail import is directly shipped from overseas, consumers can buy on the domestic cross-border e-commerce platform or directly in foreign countries, can also be **, so for other import methods, its characteristics are: the product variety is rich and diverse, consumers can directly buy scarce, high-quality, novel global goods, but the shipping cost may be relatively high, the transportation time is relatively long.

Direct mail import is the use of postal clearance, in the name of the individual to the customs declaration, for personal postal items, must meet the conditions first of all, the principle of self-use reasonable, so the applicable objects are: individuals, **, overseas shopping sellers, domestic and foreign cross-border e-commerce, forwarders, etc. The recipient's ID information needs to be provided overseas for customs clearance.

The bonded import mode refers to the merchant's overseas purchase of goods in large quantities, transported to the bonded warehouse for storage under customs supervision, and customs clearance and delivery after the purchase order. Before the New Deal, due to the fast arrival time, the bonded warehouse model has always been the first choice for cross-border e-commerce, but after the New Deal abolished the tax exemption and strengthened the qualification supervision of imported products in the bonded area, it is equivalent to this model no longer enjoying any policy preferences, coupled with the small variety of goods stocked in advance, losing its competitive advantage.

Direct mail refers to the direct delivery of goods from abroad to consumers. It is a form of consumption in which the merchant receives the order, packs it abroad, and ships it directly from overseas by courier, customs clearance, and entry.

Direct mail refers to direct mail from the United States, Australia, Japan, etc., through official direct mail, or forwarding companies directly to the end customer.

The bonded direct mail mode of cross-border e-commerce means that cross-border e-commerce prepares goods to the bonded warehouse in advance, and after the e-commerce platform customer places an order, the goods are packaged in the bonded warehouse and the relevant order information and the recipient's ID card information are pushed to the customs for customs clearance. Then ship directly to the customer.

Advantage. Compared with overseas direct mail imports, the bonded warehouse direct mail mode saves the time of foreign sections, which is much faster in terms of timeliness and reduces the probability of damage to the goods. At the same time, because it is shipped back to China in batches, the transportation cost should be low, so the product is theoretically more favorable.

The delivery mode of bonded warehouse and overseas warehouse is bonded warehouse delivery and overseas direct mail.

1. Bonded warehouse delivery: Bonded warehouse is a multi-functional storage warehouse used to store goods that have not been paid for customs duties in the bonded area. After purchasing goods in bulk from overseas, companies with complete procedures and relevant cross-border e-commerce qualifications can place the goods in a bonded warehouse (also known as a customs supervision warehouse) that is subject to customs supervision throughout the process.

When the consumer places an order and then clears the customs and delivers the goods, the advantage is that it can save costs and achieve fast delivery.

2. Overseas direct mail: Overseas direct mail is directly from the source of goods using international express delivery, direct customs clearance, entry, without transit can reach the hands of consumers. The advantage of this method is that it can be shipped at the source to ensure the original quality, but the overall cost is high, and the arrival time may be longer due to the long distance across the country.

In the case of returns, the process can be more cumbersome. Generally speaking, the use of bonded warehouse delivery can make overseas shopping more humane, not only cost-effective, but also faster to receive express delivery. It is more popular to ensure the quality of goods to the greatest extent under the formal customs supervision channels.

What is a bonded warehouse

Bonded warehouse refers to the warehouse approved by the customs for the storage of imported goods and is not subject to the management of customs laws and import control regulations.

1. The source of goods is different.

Free Trade Zone: Free Trade Zone products are imported in bulk from overseas and stored in the Free Trade Zone.

Overseas direct mail: because of the small quantity of overseas direct mail products, the source of direct mail merchants and local manufacturers and distributors and other formal channels to obtain the source of goods.

2. The order for goods is different.

The big difference between the bonded area and overseas direct mail is that the bonded area has the goods first and then the order, and the overseas direct mail has the order first and then the goods.

3. The application is different.

The bonded area is suitable for large platforms because of the flow of funds.

Large, renting warehouses, hoarding goods, and personnel costs are all not small expenses. Overseas direct mail does not need to hoard goods, which is suitable for the situation of low capital turnover pressure, but the delivery and customs clearance time is long.

4. The backlog of goods is different.

Overseas direct mail is a form of consumption that is purchased directly from overseas on behalf of customers, through express delivery, customs clearance, and inbound, ** according to the buyer's purchase list for separate procurement, which can ensure that the goods are fresh and there is no backlog.

Direct mail in the bonded area is to store large quantities of air from overseas bonded areas first, and when the purchase occurs, it is cleared and shipped in a timely manner, and the arrival time is fast; If you do not make a purchase, you will need to stock up.

Tariffs cannot be avoided.

Direct mail is the abbreviation of direct mailing, which generally occurs across borders, and is the direct delivery of goods to consumers from enterprises without stopping by a third party. For example, overseas direct mail refers to the seller's contact with international couriers such as DHL to directly mail overseas goods to domestic consumers.

Direct mail items are divided into three categories at the customs office according to the actual situation: articles. Among them, the items are personal belongings, and the value of the goods is less than 1,000 yuan, and more than 1,000 yuan, according to the 20% import comprehensive tax.
