According to People's Daily, Yiwu's cross-border e-commerce import value reached 23.779 billion yuan in the first three quarters of 2026, up 28.18% year on year, while bonded-import order volumes surpassed 100 million, ranking first in the country.
Hundreds of cross-border e-commerce firms cluster in the Yiwu Comprehensive Bonded Zone, importing more than 70,000 product categories. Customs has piloted a combined-declaration model for same-tariff cross-border retail imports to better fit platform needs.
Yiwu is also taking cross-border live-commerce vocational exams overseas — through its Morocco Silk Road Institute it has trained more than 5,000 people in North Africa, helping local youth become cross-border trade practitioners.
