Cross-Border E-commerce

The 8th 616 Global Cross-Border E-commerce Festival in Shenzhen concluded, drawing 89,000 attendees. FlyPay, a leading payment service provider, showcased its global payment solutions, including one-stop integration and global receivables management. FlyPay received the “Sunshine Protection Award” for its comprehensive services and commitment to simplifying cross-border business for SMEs. The company plans continued innovation to enhance global payment experiences.

The U.S. adjusted small parcel duty rules, imposing a 54% tariff on Chinese shipments under $800 while retaining $100 duty exemptions, following initial proposed 120% supertariffs. Platforms like Temu and Shein rapidly adapted fulfillment strategies—phasing out full-management models, expanding semi-management frameworks, and deploying Y2 direct-ship systems—to mitigate compliance challenges. Merchants grapple with eroded margins and logistical pressures amid policy volatility, yet industry analysts suggest evolving trade dynamics may drive supply chain innovation, separating resilient operators from those relying on regulatory loopholes as cross-border e-commerce enters a new competitive phase.
