Cross-border e-commerce can allow European SMEs to introduce their products faster to the Chinese market, with lower costs, and potentially to sell products otherwise not allowed for import via general trade, such as certain F&B categories that require government protocols. Furthermore, goods imported into China via CBEC enjoy preferential tax rates.
For the first episode of our E-Commerce Webinar Series, we invited European SMEs to explore the inner workings of TMall Global, the CBEC platform owned by e-commerce giant Alibaba. The keynote presentation, delivered by Lapo Tanzj, Co-CEO at Adiacent China, explains how to open a flagship store on TMall Global, how to manage logistics and marketing for your products. The presentation also delves into a model business plan and a case study of a dietary supplement brand.
