Quzhou's cross-border e-commerce shows great potential in global trade

In July this year, the South Korea-China Entrepreneurs Exchange Association signed a cooperation framework agreement with the Quzhou Intelligent Manufacturing New City Cross-Border E-Commerce Public Service Center, proposing to establish a Quzhou overseas warehouse and exhibition hall in South Korea.

Since the establishment of the China (Quzhou) Cross-Border E-Commerce Comprehensive Pilot Zone in 2020, Quzhou has set up 27 overseas warehouses for cross-border e-commerce, serving nearly 440 clients.

According to Quzhou Customs, from January to September this year, the export value of goods through the cross-border e-commerce management platform reached 3.01 billion yuan ($415.48 million), a year-on-year increase of 37.7 percent.

Quzhou has supported enterprises in expanding their overseas online channels, promoted cross-border e-commerce service season activities, and provided new support platforms for foreign trade enterprises including comprehensive bonded zones and water transportation customs supervision sites.

"Additionally, through overseas social media and in-person exhibitions, the city aims to increase exposure to targeted customers for local cross-border e-commerce enterprises," said Zhou Mei, director of Quzhou's cross-border e-commerce public service center.

Quzhou will continue to improve the cross-border e-commerce talent system, building a talent pool to upgrade the city's foreign trade.
