Has the era of huge profits in import and export trade ended?

Mr. Zhang is frowning at the overstocked goods in the warehouse, while Ms. Li's cross - border e - commerce orders have had a third explosive order this week. In the same international environment, why are some people struggling while others are thriving? The answer lies in the digital wave of the international import and export trade platform - this is no longer a game exclusive to giants, but a compulsory course for all foreign trade practitioners.

When the traditional foreign trade model encounters soaring logistics costs and fluctuating tariff policies, intelligent platforms such as Zhongshitong shorten the average customs clearance time by 62% through real - time customs big data and dynamic logistics optimization. A Zhejiang clothing factory successfully avoided the compliance risks of third - country transshipment trade through the platform's AI tariff calculation function, and its quarterly profit increased by 17% against the trend.

• Intelligent matching system: Automatically associate the latest quality inspection standards of the target country according to the HS code
• Risk control cockpit: Visually monitor 12 - dimensional indicators such as exchange rates and political risks
• Credit blockchain: Credit data of multinational enterprises is stored on the blockchain for certification

The story of a mushroom cooperative in Shandong is quite representative. By accessing the platform's fragmented logistics aggregation service, they sold their products directly to German community supermarkets for the first time, with a profit margin 3 times higher than that of traditional wholesale. These platforms are reconstructing the trade chain:

• Purchasing link: The response speed of RFQ (Request for Quotation) is compressed from 72 hours to 4 hours
• Payment link: Support automatic exchange rate lock - in options for 37 currencies
• After - sales link: The processing efficiency of the AI dispute mediation system is increased by 80%

While you are reading this text, at least 2000 transactions around the world are being automatically completed through the digital trade middle platform. This transformation will give birth to new species:

• "Trade influencers": Individual SOHOs complete import and export worth millions through the platform in a compliant manner
• "Virtual freight forwarders": Unmanned services with AI fully managing logistics
• "Carbon tariff hunters": New service providers specializing in optimizing ESG compliance paths
