Cross-border e-commerce ("CBEC") is an umbrella term for cross-border e-commerce retail imports and exports. Cross-border e-commerce retail import refers to the process whereby consumers in China purchase goods from abroad through a cross-border e-commerce third-party platform operator and transport them into the country using either online bonded import (Customs Supervision Mode Code 1210), online bonded import A (Customs Supervision Mode Code 1239) or direct purchase import (Customs Supervision Mode Code 9610). In recent years, China's cross-border e-commerce retail import and export has grown rapidly, due to the expansion of the 2020 cross-border e-commerce retail import pilot program to 86 cities and the Hainan Island.

Today will focus on the legal and fiscal matters involved in cross-border e-commerce retail imports under the model of online bonded import.
