Overseas warehouses are important nodes in cross-border e-commerce, belonging to a new type of foreign trade infrastructure and an important component of new foreign trade formats.

1、 Basic concepts of overseas warehouses
The cross-border e-commerce export overseas warehouse model (customs supervision code "9810") is actually a storage facility established outside the country and a product of the development of cross-border e-commerce. Cross border e-commerce enterprises export goods in bulk to overseas warehouses according to general trade methods. After the e-commerce platform completes the sales, the goods are delivered to overseas consumers, which has the core advantages of reducing logistics costs, improving delivery efficiency, and providing one-stop solutions. During this process, the enterprise needs to transmit relevant electronic data to the customs.
