Three National Departments Extend Tax Incentives for Cross-Border E-commerce Returned Goods, Easing Export Burdens Until 2027

The Ministry of Finance, the General Administration of Customs, and the State Administration of Taxation have jointly issued Announcement No. 16 of 2026, extending preferential tax policies for cross-border e-commerce returned export goods through to December 31, 2027. The policy grants exemption from import duties and import-linked VAT and consumption taxes on goods exported under customs supervision codes 1210, 9610, 9710, and 9810 that are returned in original condition within six months due to poor sales or customer returns, with food products excluded. This continuation of support mechanisms first introduced in 2023 significantly reduces return-related costs for cross-border sellers and addresses long-standing operational pain points, signaling sustained governmental commitment to foreign trade digital economy development.

Today's Logistics Outlook: Reconstructing Supply Chain "Certainty" Amid Multiple Crises

Today's global logistics landscape is undergoing a difficult reshaping at the convergence of multiple pressures. From the coordinated strike across over 21 Mediterranean ports to the ongoing European cold waves and congestion, and further to operational bottlenecks at major Asian ports, a series of seemingly isolated incidents are triggering a deadly "butterfly effect" through the complex supply chain network. Together, they point to a central proposition: the assumptions of "just-in-time" and "optimal routes" on which traditional logistics models rely are becoming exceptionally fragile under the impact of high uncertainty. For all logistics and freight forwarding enterprises, the true challenge is no longer managing a single delay, but how to build "supply chain certainty" for clients—a predictable and trustworthy resilience that transcends short-term fluctuations. This article will analyze the deeper connections within the current chaos and chart a strategic path for companies to transform crises into core competitiveness and reshape their customer value proposition.
