As one of the new forms of foreign trade, the market procurement trade mode has expanded the main scope of foreign trade participation, stimulated market vitality, and helped many small, medium-sized and micro enterprises to do foreign trade at home. According to the Huacheng Import and Export Data Observation Report, Jiangsu has two national market procurement trade mode pilots, Haimen International Home Textile City and Changshu Garment City. There are about 5000 registered entities in the two cities, and the cumulative export exceeds 15 billion dollars. The market procurement trade mode explored by Jiangsu is attracting national attention.

The new business is unstoppable

The market procurement trade mode is a new trade mode suitable for small and micro enterprises. It is stipulated that the value of goods in a single customs declaration is less than 150000 dollars. If the conditions are met, you can enjoy the policy convenience of simplified declaration, exemption and non refund. This has built a low-cost and efficient export channel for small businesses with "foreign trade dreams", and solved their problems of "small single, miscellaneous goods, many varieties" and no VAT invoice. According to the import and export data, from January to August, the province's market procurement trade received 24167 export customs declarations and the value of goods was RMB 14.329 billion, up 25.2% and 22.6% year on year respectively.

On September 14, a batch of goods from Erik Textile Business Department in Mocheng Street, Changshu City were successfully exported to Greece. "We know that the 'SMT' platform can provide compliance export channels for small, medium-sized and micro enterprises, and can provide one-stop foreign trade comprehensive services for export business, so we actively maintain communication with the platform and file in 'SMT'." Zhang Zhenjie of the Business Department said, "In August, we received this batch of home textile quilts orders from Greek customers. On September 7, we packed 2000 chemical fiber quilts worth of US $23431 and supervised the whole process according to the requirements of the" SMT "platform. After being loaded, they were transported to Ningbo Port (601018), declared to Changshu Customs in the form of integrated declaration and released, and successfully left the country on September 14."

Originating from Changshu, "Shicaitong" is the first enterprise integrated service platform for national market procurement trade pilot. According to the import and export data, from January to August of this year, the "SMT" platform exported more than 20000 pieces of goods, totaling more than 1.8 billion US dollars, with an increase of more than 47% year on year. "The platform has built a complete cross-border export service chain, so the number of enterprises settled in the platform continues to increase, and the total export volume continues to grow. As the first enterprise oriented platform in the national pilot program, we have successfully exported this model to two pilot programs, Pingxiang in Guangxi and Ruili in Yunnan, and assisted in creating a market procurement and trade port pilot model according to local conditions, which has attracted the attention of pilot markets across the country. This year, many enterprises learned about it They all came to visit us. " Said Jiang Wei, general manager of the company.

As of August 31, the "Shicaitong" platform has served more than 6600 small, medium-sized and micro enterprises in China, and achieved regular customs clearance at 73 ports nationwide by using the integrated customs clearance model. Goods have reached 153 countries and regions, exports have exceeded 30 billion yuan, and merchants' independent collection and settlement of foreign exchange have exceeded 10 billion yuan. Jiang Wei introduced that the provincial linkage work has been launched since the second half of 2021, which has fully covered the docking of 13 district and city level commercial bureaus, 14 county and district level commercial bureaus. The docking of professional markets and industrial belts includes 6 parks, 10 professional markets and industrial belts, including Lianyungang Donghai Crystal City, Xuzhou Glass Products Industrial Belt, Yancheng Comprehensive Protection Zone, Wuxi "the Belt and Road" E-commerce Industrial Park, and Nanjing Cross border E-commerce Industrial Park. "The development of this new business form of foreign trade is the trend. For example, the East China Sea Crystal City, before the epidemic, basically focused on domestic trade. After the epidemic came, it expanded its business through cross-border e-commerce live broadcast. Now we have provided merchants in this market with a compliant and convenient export channel, and small merchants can also do foreign trade sitting at home."

On September 7, the foreign exchange collection and settlement platform on the procurement trade line of Haimen Dieshiqiao Market was launched, which will provide all-round, high-quality, convenient and efficient security services for all kinds of trade entities entering the market. It is reported that since this year, the market has encouraged home textile foreign trade enterprises and trading companies in the cluster area to actively export home textile textiles through market procurement trade.

Zhang Rui, director of the Port Supervision Office of Nanjing Customs, said that currently, the goods purchased in the customs area market have reached 156 countries and regions around the world. For qualified specialized markets, small and medium-sized enterprises and self-employed businesses in the province, support them to export through the market procurement platform and expand export channels, so as to achieve the coordinated development of procurement and trade in Jiangsu market and enhance the agglomeration and driving effect of procurement in Jiangsu market.

Make exports of small, medium and micro enterprises more compliant

"In addition to cost reduction and convenience, the most important thing is that under the fragmented trade, we have provided SMEs with a compliance and convenient export channel." Jiang Wei said, "Before the emergence of the" Shicaitong "platform, small and micro enterprises could only export in general trade. Most of the goods exported were products of small value. It was common for sellers to export without tickets."

The export without tickets has led to the loss of a large number of compliant export data and made it more difficult for merchants to collect and settle foreign exchange. "Even more serious is the problem of tax fraud by allocating bills and foreign exchange. Because there is a market demand for paying for exports, some illegal enterprises use these export documents to find some more foreign exchange bills to make export tax rebates. This situation has brought a lot of trouble to tax authorities and regulatory authorities." Jiang Wei said, "With the" Shicaitong "platform, enterprises can legally settle taxes without worries. At the same time, it will also bring about a reduction in logistics costs. Take the East China Sea Crystal City as an example, its logistics costs have been saved by more than 20% in the first half of the year. Why? If merchants find international logistics companies to send packages one by one, the price is very high. And we integrate this fragmented logistics needs, packaging, so that the The logistics cost has been significantly reduced. "

On September 13, a batch of polyester embroidered cloth and other clothing fabrics with a value of US $51000 from Chuyuzhi Daily Department Store in Mocheng Street, Changshu City also successfully exported to Almaty, Kazakhstan by way of market procurement trade. "I have been doing foreign trade in garment accessories in Changshu for more than ten years. I used to sell goods to foreign trade companies for export. I not only had to pay the agency fee, but also assumed various export risks. This year, I learned that I could export in compliance with the regulations in the form of market procurement trade. With the help of Changshu Customs, I successfully completed the filing and carried out business." Merchant Chen Jin said, "After receiving this batch of orders from customers in Kazakhstan at the beginning of August, Changshu Customs told me that now it has expanded new logistics channels. My goods can be exported by Xuzhou China Europe Express, which is very convenient and saves about 6000 yuan in logistics costs."

Green customs clearance through market procurement trade also brings great convenience to enterprises. Recently, Nantong Jiesida International Trade Co., Ltd. purchased a batch of 11.5 tons of footwear and socks with a value of nearly 80000 dollars from merchants in Haimen International Home Textile City, and declared them for export to Chile through market procurement trade. When declaring the goods, they were controlled to complete on-site inspection. "It was already Friday afternoon when we received the inspection notice. If we could not complete the inspection on that day, it would affect the normal arrival of the goods and delay the export time. We need to modify the shipping schedule and re book the shipping space, which would increase a lot of logistics costs." Weng Shiqi, head of Nantong Jiesida International Trade Co., Ltd. said. After receiving the inspection instruction, the on-site customs officers of Nantong Customs, affiliated to Nanjing Customs, opened a green channel for the inspection of goods purchased in the market for enterprises, quickly sent personnel to the site for inspection, and finished the release after the inspection was normal. The goods were transported to Shanghai Yangshan Port in the dark as scheduled for smooth export, effectively ensuring the efficient customs clearance of goods purchased in the market.

The integration of new business types is an inevitable trend

Haimen International Home Textile City is exploring the integration of market procurement trade, cross-border e-commerce and overseas warehouse. "You should know that the new form of market procurement trade was originally tailored for Yiwu. The market procurement trade means" LCL ", that is, small batch and multiple varieties. Yiwu's market is characterized by a large number of small commodity categories, and dozens of varieties can be put together in one cabinet. However, in a specialized market like ours, you can put together home textile products. Now there are 31 pilot projects nationwide, which are different from Yiwu's Yes, most of them are specialized markets. Then, how to develop the market procurement trade mode of specialized market? Then we should take the road of integration of the three, and this road can be replicated in the national specialized market. " Gong Jian, deputy director of the Commerce Bureau of Haimen District, Nantong, said that they are inviting professional teams to do the integration of the three, and are also planning to build overseas warehouses. Three will be built by the end of this year, and 10 will be built in three years.

According to the observation report of Huacheng's import and export data, the integration and development of the new business types of the "CityCaitong" platform has achieved remarkable results. The platform has opened up cross-border logistics lines such as China South Korea Express Line, China Laos Railway Line, China Europe (Central Asia) Express Line, and further expanded cross-border logistics service channels. At the same time, we actively explored the integration and development of cross-border e-commerce and market procurement trade, completed the declaration of the platform's first ticket of market procurement trade+cross-border e-commerce B2B integration customs transition, and now the cross-border e-commerce goods exported by market procurement trade have totaled 660 million yuan.

"This integration is inevitable. Cross border e-commerce business is developing rapidly everywhere. It is precisely because cross-border e-commerce has a large number of undocumented exports. The export supervision methods related to cross-border e-commerce are not applicable, and are more suitable for export through market procurement trade. Therefore, the integration of the two is inevitable. Without integration, cross-border e-commerce is difficult to develop in compliance." Jiang Wei said, "We have been to some places recently, and some people said that they do not have a traditional big market, so there is no need to do market procurement trade. I asked them whether to do cross-border e-commerce? Just do cross-border e-commerce instead of market procurement trade, which is equivalent to limiting the compliance export of a large number of cross-border e-commerce goods without tickets, and there is a risk of loss of cross-border e-commerce export data."

According to the observation report of Huacheng's import and export data, in the Measures on Promoting the Stability and Quality of Foreign Trade issued by Sichuan Province in July this year, it was proposed to promote the integration and development of new business types and models such as cross-border e-commerce, market procurement trade, overseas warehouses, and help traditional foreign trade enterprises to achieve digital transformation. At the same time, it is proposed to refine the provincial linkage export mechanism of the "SMT" platform to drive more small and micro enterprises to apply the "SMT" platform for compliance export. It is reported that since last year, focusing on six new modes of foreign trade, including cross-border e-commerce, market procurement, comprehensive foreign trade service enterprises, bonded maintenance, offshore trade, and overseas warehouses, our province has set up a special class for cross-border e-commerce development composed of 12 provincial departments, established a standing book for difficulties in the development of new foreign trade formats, and a key contact enterprise system in the cross-border e-commerce comprehensive pilot zone, A policy framework and working mechanism to adapt to the development of new forms and models of foreign trade have been initially established.

Chen Tao, Director of the Provincial Department of Commerce, said that, in the next step, greater efforts will be made to consolidate the construction of carrier platforms and promote the rapid development of cross-border e-commerce; Make greater efforts to improve the layout of overseas warehouses and promote the construction of new foreign trade infrastructure; We will make greater efforts to build a model of "Citypay" and improve the service level for small, medium and micro enterprises; We will make greater efforts to promote institutional opening, and create a better "institutional environment" for the development of new types of business such as new offshore trade and bonded maintenance.
