How does the export of used cars become a new highlight in foreign trade?（part four）

Zhang Xu, Senior Manager of Used Car Management at the Market Operations Department of Beijing Auto International Development Co., Ltd., candidly stated that in the past two years, the popularity of parallel exports has, on one hand, opened up blank markets and warmed up foreign markets, but on the other hand, it has also brought certain negative impacts on export companies with manufacturer backgrounds, causing an impact on manufacturers' overseas markets. Some used car export companies have brought the "involution" trend abroad, disrupting local market price systems and leading to increasingly fierce competition in Central Asia, the Middle East, and Russia.

 

Regarding the current difficulties in used car exports, Zhang Xu believes they are mainly manifested in different policies in various countries overseas, low matching degree of car sources, and companies are car hunting per order, making it very difficult to find cars. In terms of export tax rebates, public account vehicles can get a 13% tax refund, while personal vehicles cannot get a tax refund, resulting in a 13% price difference and causing profit loss. In terms of vehicle certification, the qualification certificate that comes with a new car is kept by the vehicle management office for two years after the license plate is handled and then destroyed, causing sellers to be unable to provide it to dealers or buyers who need it when exporting.

 

In addition, overseas customers are more accustomed to selecting products through Alibaba International Station and leaving their contact information. Japan has an international platform where they can find cars online, make payments, and track shipping and logistics progress. Therefore, there is a hope that our country can also establish such an online platform that is more suitable for used car exports.

 

Yang Zetao, the founder of HuiMao Tianxia (Beijing) Technology Co., Ltd., pointed out that many domestic used car trading platforms' export businesses have not yet formed a service loop. Although some companies have established used car export marketing/service platforms relying on industry resource advantages, they mainly focus on online display and communication docking, and have not truly achieved full-process services such as online car selection and online transactions.

 

To solve the above problems, the Beijing Used Car Export Service Center is under construction. The China (Beijing) International Trade "Single Window" can provide used car export companies with a full range of standard business services from enterprise qualification, origin, license documents to customs declaration, export tax rebate, and tax payment. Based on the integrated model of "HuiMao 0S + XinMao Chain + Service Matrix", it aggregates various high-quality services from more than 100 trading companies, including marketing, logistics, payment settlement, inspection and preparation, law, finance, and taxation.

 

Now, HuiMao Tianxia is building the Beijing Digital Used Car Export Service Center based on the "Single Window + XinMao Chain", aggregating marketing, inspection, logistics, customs, and settlement services both online and offline, providing one-stop full-chain comprehensive services for used car exports, letting data travel more and businesses travel less.

 

XinMao Chain can not only reduce the trust cost of international transactions but also ensure information security (end-to-end, blockchain system evidence, traceability). In addition, it can automatically match supply and demand through smart contracts, automate data procedures, automatically acquire customers, eliminate intermediaries, and reduce costs. Moreover, the system can track global orders, achieve a transparent supply chain, and provide carbon footprint inquiries. The data custody box can automatically recognize and file various data, forming data assets, supporting subsequent inquiries, applications, and enterprises applying for credit loans.
