Dilemma faced by cross-border eCommerence
Cross border eCom vs ordinary trade from eCom platform service provider’s perspectives: Many to many, wide variety with small qty/one pc at small amount B2B2C/B2C, instead of B2B, more complex in terms of logistics and
delivery, in need of fast tracking customs declaration Existing required documents for ordinary trade too heavy for eCom Existing required process for import inspection and quarantine too
complex and time consuming for eCom No simplified documents or data exchang messages accepted across
countries or economies Hard to collect import duty from eCom goods by direct mail or express
delivery Hard to collect value added tax from overseas eCom service providers Asking foreign eCom players to register at the destination countries for
local value add tax and consumption tax Obstacle resulted from foreign exchange control, payment process not
integrated with logistics and order fulfillment processes
