When doing cross-border e-commerce, you must plan well. Whether it is choosing a platform or forming a team, merchants need to consider it carefully. After all, choosing a direction is more important than hard work. So what qualifications and certifications are required for cross-border e-commerce? The following is an introduction for everyone.

What qualifications and certifications are required for cross-border e-commerce?

1. You need to register a company in China to conduct sales business in China and to file with the customs. Each cross-border pilot city has its own cross-border e-commerce public service platform for merchants to register and file.

2. A cross-border mall is needed for online sales of cross-border goods and customs filing, such as WeChat Mall, third-party platform supermarkets, Laidianyi Mall, store-in-store touch-screen mall, etc.

3. The foreign products and brands you operate need to be registered with the local inspection and quarantine agency. For specific registration methods, you can register an account and fill in information on the local national inspection official website.

What to prepare?

1. Choose a good cross-border e-commerce platform

Before doing cross-border e-commerce, I think you should first understand the various platforms, including Amazon, AliExpress, Wish, eBay, Lazada, Shopee, Qoo10, Cdiscount and other cross-border e-commerce platforms. First, consider which platform you want to do. Consider the market you want to do, the United States, Europe, or Southeast Asia? For Europe and the United States, you can consider Amazon, eBay, and Wish. For Russia and Spain, you can consider AliExpress, for Europe, you can consider Amazon European Site, for the Southeast Asian market, you can consider Lazada, Shopee, for Singapore, you can consider Qoo10, for the French market, you can consider Cdiscount/FNAC. And a series of platforms.

2. Do a good job in product selection

Product selection is very important for a newly opened store, or for any store. Because if a store chooses the right product, it is easy for it to create a hit product, and the profit of such a store will rise rapidly. However, product selection is so difficult, so it is recommended that novices operate the Amazon no-source model in the early stage. In this way, they can distribute the goods in the early stage, and after the orders are placed, let the market help them test the models, select the products, and then create hit products. In the later stage, they can operate the boutique model, which can save a lot of money in the early stage.

3. Team

It is also very important to organize a high-quality team, and it takes a certain amount of time for the teams to cooperate and run in. Once the process starts to operate and you gain experience, it will not be difficult to proceed.

In order to expand their sales channels, merchants will engage in cross-border e-commerce. However, in order to successfully open a store on a cross-border e-commerce platform, they must first have relevant qualifications, otherwise they will not be eligible to settle in. I hope the above content can solve everyone’s problems.
