As a new form and model of e-commerce, cross-border e-commerce (CBEC) has been developing rapidly in recent years, becoming a new engine and a new bright spot for global economic development.
In 2023, World Internet Conference (WIC) established the Working Group on Cross-Border E-commerce, released the Report on Developments of International Normative Systems on Cross-Border E-Commerce, and put forward the proposition of promoting the development of cross-border e-commerce and creating an enabling business environment. To put our proposition in practice, the working group has launched a call to collect practice cases from relevant government departments, international organizations, industry associations and enterprises in all links of the CBEC industry chain.
Since the call was launched in January 2024, we have received more than 60 cases from government departments, comprehensive CBEC service platforms, trading platforms, logistics enterprises, financial, institutions, sellers, dispute resolution bodies, enterprises and organizations providing supporting services and other interested parties.
Through categorization and organization, we have formed the WIC Collection of Cross-Border E-Commerce Practice Cases (2024) and put forward four action plans, hoping to build a platform for sharing and exchanging CBEC practice cases, promote the relevant entities around the world to learn from each other and achieve mutual complementarity, thus forming a business environment conductive to the healthy development of cross-border e-commerce.
The collection has been released on World Internet Conference Digital Silk Road Development Forum on April in Xi’an, Shaanxi province.
