Cross-border e-commerce operates under the postal and baggage supervision model: Most logistics for cross-border B2C platforms involve merchants shipping goods to individuals via commercial express and postal services. These items are cleared through customs as parcels for personal use, which falls under the postal and baggage supervision model. The tax rate for this model is significantly lower than that of general trade methods. Even after accounting for the high costs of air freight and postal services, the price of goods still retains a competitive advantage.

·Bonded Warehouse Model

Also known as the "free trade model," the bonded warehouse model involves storing imported goods from overseas in a bonded area after they enter the country. Once consumers make a purchase, the goods are cleared from the bonded area as personal postal items. The packages are then delivered to domestic consumers via domestic logistics.

·Regulatory Requirements

The integration of "three-in-one" documents is required, which includes platform orders, logistics, and payment records. Compared to the scattered customs clearance of individual parcels and emails, the bonded warehouse model offers a relatively higher level of convenience in terms of regulation. It is currently considered the best choice for cross-border e-commerce.
