And Shanghai information investment Limited by Share Ltd yesterday signed a memorandum with the US Amazon Co on cross-border e-commerce cooperation, marking the second largest e-commerce business in the world officially settled in the FTA.

Cross border e-commerce, as a new type of trade that affects the world, has shown strong momentum in recent years.

Shanghai is listed by the NDRC and the General Administration of customs as the first batch of pilot cities for cross border trade e-commerce services. It has good cross-border e-commerce development conditions and policy environment.

Since the establishment of the Shanghai free trade pilot zone, relying on the comprehensive advantages of institutional innovation, we have vigorously promoted the development of cross-border e-commerce, and gradually optimized pactions, customs clearance, etc.

And cross border e-commerce has achieved rapid development in the region.

Since the end of last year, the Shanghai cross border e-commerce pilot platform has been put into operation since the end of last year. The number of online and online businesses has reached 32, which come from Japan, Korea, Australia, the United States, Italy, France and Hongkong, China.

The Amazon Group signed a series of cross-border trade businesses in the FTA, including the construction of cross-border e-commerce platform, the construction of logistics and warehousing platform, the use of the financial innovation policy of the FTA, the optimization of Amazon Co financing structure, the cooperation in cross-border electronic payment services, and the advantage of the pilot system in the pilot area.

Amazon Co officials said that once China's cross-border e-commerce platform was built, domestic consumers could directly log on to Amazon headquarters website and purchase goods.

Amazon will also open a "through China" channel on the global website, set up a Chinese shopping guide page, and guarantee that all products will be executed at the same price.

In addition, through cross-border e-commerce platform, domestic sellers can also be

American websites offer online stores to do business and sell Chinese products to the whole world.

According to the insiders, there are two modes of operation of cross-border platforms: one is "direct mail", that is, consumers place orders directly from foreign websites, from the US warehouse logistics to the domestic market, generally from the order to the receipt, which takes 7 to 10 days; the other is the "self trading" mode, namely, building their own logistics warehouses in the pilot Free Trade Zone, importing parts of the goods to Shanghai in advance, and carrying out bonded warehousing. After ordering the consumer, the goods will be distributed directly from the free trade area, so the cost will be lower and the delivery time will be greatly reduced.

Amazon intends to build a logistics and storage platform in the free trade area, and the future "free trade" mode should be the key direction of its development.

Zhu Min, deputy director of the Management Committee of the FTA, believes that as the world's leading provider of e-commerce, e-reading and cloud computing service providers, Amazon Co will enter the FTA pilot area to fully develop cross-border e-commerce business. This will not only help improve the level of cross-border e-commerce in Shanghai, but will also play an important exemplary role in the opening up of the FTA.

At present, in addition to Amazon, Hongkong Dachang hang, Korean modern department store, China Insurance Group and other large domestic and foreign electricity providers have already been running on the p platform platform in Shanghai. A large number of well-known businesses such as "shop No. 1" and Taiwan unified supermarket are also on the line. Shanghai's cross-border electronic commerce will usher in the development of spring.

Ai Baojun, vice mayor of the municipal Party committee, attended the signing ceremony and met with Diego Parson Parson, senior vice president of international retailing.
