Hangzhou Will Apply For Online FTA Cross-Border Electricity Supplier Facilitation

The era of real liberalization and facilitation may soon be coming.

At the 2014 China Electronic Commerce Fair in Hangzhou, Tong Guili, member of the Standing Committee of Hangzhou Municipal Committee of Zhejiang, said that Hangzhou will declare to the country the China Hangzhou free trade area, and truly promote the development of liberalization, facilitation and planning of cross-border e-commerce.

Yang Guoxun, deputy director of the state informatization expert advisory committee and chief engineer of the former State General Administration of customs, said that this idea is of great significance for expanding the pilot project of deepening the reform of cross border electricity suppliers, and hopes to report it as soon as possible and strive for early implementation.

2014 China e - commerce Expo lasted from October 30th to November 2nd.

Hangzhou's various types of e-commerce activities, Tong Guili frequency is very high, for the various types of data is also familiar with the electricity supplier.

Global, she said.

The population has accounted for 1/3 of the world's population, nearly 1 billion people are shopping online, while China's cross-border e-commerce retail is also growing at a high speed. Last year it reached 21 billion 400 million dollars, up 33.3% over the same period last year.

Under this situation, Hangzhou is trying to seize the commanding heights of the development of e-commerce. In addition to taking the lead in the establishment of new customs clearance modes such as cross-border e-commerce industrial parks and online shopping tax, Hangzhou is also actively declaring the Hangzhou free trade area to China.

In December 2012, the General Administration of Customs approved 5 cities, including Hangzhou, as one of the cross border e-commerce pilot sites, and then established a cross-border e-commerce Industrial Park in Hangzhou.

Tong Guili believes that the current pilot work is adaptive, remedial and localized initiatives. "Cross-border E-business has not yet been taken as a new form of trade to make a comprehensive and comprehensive institutional arrangement.

The problem of inconsistency between traditional business models and cross-border e-commerce has not been well resolved.

After the pilot free trade pilot area in Shanghai, Hangzhou is also actively planning to declare the "China Hangzhou free trade zone".

Tong Guili said that Hangzhou hopes to promote the development of cross-border e-commerce liberalization, facilitation and planning through institutional innovation, management innovation and service innovation. It will provide a replicable and popularized experience for Hangzhou to deepen reform, expand development, promote foreign trade, steady growth and promote pformation.

For this assumption in Hangzhou, Yang Guo Shun, the deputy director of the State Information Technology Advisory Committee and the chief engineer of the former State General Administration of customs, said that this is of great significance for expanding the road of deepening the reform of cross-border electricity supplier pilot projects.

Yang Guoxun said that cross-border cooperation in the field of foreign trade is unique at the present stage, but there are many problems and urgent need for corresponding regulatory changes.

Cross border online shopping is affected by the management of postal items, which affects tax revenue. The old rules such as "self use and reasonable quantity" of colleagues' mail not only restrict the development of cross-border online shopping, but also lead to a large number of grey areas such as "breaking up the whole into parts" or "buying on behalf of others".

Consumer rights, business data, personal privacy protection and other aspects of "cross border" law application problems may affect exports more.

It is understood that the Shanghai free trade pilot area has explored the opening and supervision of financial services, communications, education, health care, design, creation and other services trade and investment, and its management mode is basically a first line release and a second line control.

However, because the scope is limited within the park, the selection and scale of the pilot and investment subjects are limited. Therefore, the pilot area needs to be expanded in two directions.

In Yang Guoxun's view, there are now two ways to expand the pilot scheme in Shanghai, one is to continue copying according to the original mode, and the other second is the online free trade pilot area.

"It can solve the test problems that must be carried out at a very large scale or everywhere.

Two, there must be a large number of people's participation in the medical, educational, cultural and other service industries.

The three is financial and all kinds of literature and animation, animation and other online businesses and virtual products. There is no physical logistics, and no relationship with regional bayonets, unable to "second line control" problem, especially the current financial reform.

The four is to solve the problems that need to be tested in the test area.

Yang Guoxun cited the advantages of a bunch of free trade pilot zones on the Internet.

He also put forward his own proposals for the pilot scheme of the online free trade area. First, we need to set up a negative list of the national service trade and virtual industry investment. Two, we should pilot the reform and innovation of the online financial business system, and the three is to pilot the public participation in education, medical treatment, literature and art, etc.

"Whether expanding the FTA or developing cross-border e-commerce, there is an urgent need to achieve tangible results.

Therefore, we should make full use of the current forceful practice to carry out the overall train of thought and plan design of Zhejiang (Hangzhou) online free trade pilot area, report it as soon as possible, and strive for early implementation.

Yang Guoxun said.
