In 2020, the epidemic is raging around the world, and the huge demand for housing economy makes China's export of cross-border e-commerce develop rapidly. Foreign trade enterprises, especially cross-border e-commerce businesses, have a booming demand for overseas warehouses, and some international e-commerce platforms, in a disguised way, "obstruct" the entry of large furniture into overseas warehouses and other phenomena have become the hot phenomena of the year.Facing the huge demand of overseas warehouses, the state and local governments have relevant preferential policies. In August this year, the Opinions of The General Office of the State Council on Further Stabilizing Foreign Trade and Foreign Investment mentioned that "All kinds of financial institutions, such as export-Import Bank and China Export and Credit Insurance Company, are encouraged to actively support the construction of overseas warehouses under the premise that risks are under control." At the local policy level, Shandong awarded "Public overseas warehouses of Cross-border e-commerce enterprises in Shandong province", and some regions in Shandong also gave 2 million yuan subsidies to relevant enterprises building overseas warehouses.At the same time, we should also see that it is necessary to carry out a detailed analysis of overseas warehouse supply and demand. From the perspective of demand, the final demand side for overseas warehouses is overseas consumers. It is their demand for online shopping and their increasingly high requirements for logistics speed and service quality that make overseas warehouses more and more necessary. Large and medium-sized foreign trade enterprises, small and micro foreign trade enterprises and cross-border e-commerce platforms are the intermediate demanders of overseas warehouses. Their strong demand for overseas warehouses is to meet the shopping experience of terminal overseas consumers. From the perspective of supply, cross-border e-commerce platforms such as Amazon, large and medium-sized foreign trade enterprises and powerful third-party logistics enterprises are the main builders and suppliers of overseas warehouses. Due to the large investment of overseas warehouse funds and other aspects, which is a heavy asset investment, small and micro foreign trade enterprises have no ability to invest in the construction of overseas warehouse; Even if the medium-sized foreign trade enterprises build their own overseas warehouses, they also belong to the category of clenched teeth. Therefore, the construction of overseas warehouse is basically the "patent" of large and medium-sized enterprises. The large demand of many small and micro enterprises for overseas warehouses can objectively promote cross-border e-commerce platforms, large and medium-sized enterprises and third-party logistics enterprises to further expand overseas warehouses and improve relevant services. Therefore, the elaboration and clear guidance of policies can not only give full play to the role of national and local supportive policies, but also reduce unnecessary waste and enable all parties to enjoy more accurate services.That is to say, although companies are eager to get better comprehensive support services for cross-border logistics, they have different priorities. For small and micro enterprises, such enterprises simply do not have the capital, technology and talents to build and operate overseas warehouses. Their cross-border logistics and overseas warehousing needs are mainly solved by outsourcing. Therefore, even if they receive subsidy funds, they cannot solve a series of problems of building overseas warehouses. But preferential policy if can be aimed at their characteristic subsidy part of overseas warehouse use fee, it is more substantial to small and micro enterprises. On the contrary, large and medium-sized enterprises have the ability to build and operate overseas warehouses, but sometimes they will face more or less financial pressure, and the construction subsidy of overseas warehouses is a timely help to them. At the same time, it is also necessary to reduce the overall cost of cross-border logistics and warehousing for these large, medium-sized and micro enterprises and improve the level of cross-border logistics and warehousing facilitation.Thus it can be seen that the national and local policies supporting the development of overseas warehouses can provide more comprehensive protection for foreign trade while exploring more scenarios of refined implementation in the context of the booming overseas warehouses. From the perspective of strengthening the comprehensive support capacity of foreign trade and improving the comprehensive support service level of cross-border logistics, the norms and constraints on large cross-border e-commerce platforms can also be included. For example, during the epidemic earlier this year, some international cross-border e-commerce platforms failed to timely adjust the grace period for delayed delivery when Chinese e-commerce merchants could not timely deliver goods. In China's furniture export boom in disguised forms the "block" big furniture into overseas warehouse "shop QiKe" phenomenon, such as China to further perfect the relevant codes and standards, with the help of the international electric business platform in the Chinese market has a big share of the business, in national laws and regulations, policies, standards, and their dialogue, game, for the Chinese electric cross-border logistics businesses strive for more legitimate rights and interests."
