Written by Wang Jiaoni Liu Yuwei
Song Yujie, who lives in Seoul, South Korea, recently purchased a Chinese brand sweeping robot by comparing the global online shopping platform, and the goods were delivered to her doorstep on the 3rd day after placing the order. This is a microcosm of China's electronics "grabbing the beach" of the Korean consumer market.
"China's electronic products, represented by body fat scales and sweeping robots, are cost-effective and are deeply loved by foreign consumers." Xu Guanghui, general manager of Hanyi Trading (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., said that in 2021, 90% of their cross-border e-commerce exports will be electronic products, and the number and amount of exports will reach a new high for the company.
Nowadays, as the closest Chinese city to South Korea, the cross-border e-commerce business in Rongcheng City, Shandong Province, has developed rapidly, and a large number of Chinese electronic products have taken Chinese and Korean liners to the sea from here.
It is reported that due to the air transport rules, CCC live goods can not be exported through air transport, and the Use of Passenger and Cargo Ro-Ro Ships transported by China and South Korea liners provide a safe and fast export channel for electronic products.
The reporter learned from Rongcheng Customs that the local shipping service to South Korea is intensive and has sufficient capacity, which can ensure that cross-border e-commerce goods can be quickly inspected and released quickly, so as to achieve "zero delay" in e-commerce customs clearance, so that cross-border shopping has "the speed of air transport and the price of shipping".
"Our cut-off time is 12 o'clock, the afternoon is ready, customs clearance export, in the evening e-commerce goods will take a liner to South Korea, the next day around 12 o'clock can be completed in South Korea customs clearance, if the e-commerce buyers live in Incheon and Seoul, the afternoon can receive the goods." Xu Guanghui is very satisfied with the e-commerce timeliness of Rongcheng Port.

Not only the traditional e-commerce exports, in the past two years, "overseas warehouses" have become a new trend of cross-border e-commerce exports, and China's electronic product exports have also hitched a ride on the "overseas warehouses". "Using the 'overseas warehouse' model, we can 'place orders online overseas and deliver nearby warehouses', which further compresses the delivery cycle." Xu Guanghui said.
Online shopping for electronic goods, return and exchange is a common thing. In recent years, the local customs has also opened up return entry channels, simplified the return process, and eliminated the worries of cross-border e-commerce enterprises.
With the deepening of the China-South Korea Free Trade Agreement and the construction of the China-South Korea Free Trade Area, the entry into force and operation of the RECP Agreement for South Korea, and the continuous improvement of the quality and reputation of Chinese electronic products, there is still more room for improvement in the number of Chinese electronic products by South Korean consumers.
