Recently, under the supervision of Quanzhou Customs, 11 containers carrying 6,100 pieces of cross-border e-commerce "9610" retail export goods, including clothing, footwear, headwear, and daily necessities, departed from the Quanzhou Shihu Port Bonded Logistics Center (Type B) (hereinafter referred to as "Quanzhou B Bonded") bound for the Quanzhou Weitou Port Area, where they were loaded onto the cross-border e-commerce export dedicated liner "Yexin" for overseas shipment.

The cross-border e-commerce "9610" trade method, officially known as "Cross-Border Trade E-Commerce," operates under an export model commonly referred to as "direct mail export." It applies to domestic e-commerce enterprises conducting transactions through e-commerce trading platforms, using a customs clearance model of list-based release and consolidated declaration. This model is suited to small-batch, multi-batch small-item orders and offers advantages such as convenient customs clearance and short logistics chains, making it an important channel for China's footwear, apparel, and daily necessities to go global.

On September 29 of last year, Quanzhou B Bonded became the first site nationwide to implement the comprehensive reform measure known as the "Pioneering Cross-Border E-Commerce Export" pilot. Over the past year, Quanzhou has fully leveraged the conveniences of "zone-port linkage," opening four cross-border e-commerce routes, attracting e-commerce platforms to settle in, with the number of resident enterprises growing from 9 at opening to 19.

Over the past year, Quanzhou Customs supervised the export of 2.4 million cross-border e-commerce parcels, covering more than 400 product categories including clothing, footwear, headwear, and household goods. Average daily business volume rose from 2,000 items in the pilot's first month to 8,000 items in September of this year.
