The center was also awarded as the Chongqing Cross-border E-commerce Demonstration Zone, aiming to attract more e-commerce platforms to settle there and gather the upstream and downstream industrial chains of cross-border e-commerce.

According to the person in charge, the cross-border center will provide supportive services for the whole industrial chain, including carrier resources, supply chain management, tax refund, and industrial talents. 

The center will also serve as a core platform for the Cuntan International Business Center to introduce cross-border e-commerce platforms and develop new trade modes such as digital trade, entertainment, and technology services. 

Specifically, the center will introduce 50 enterprises in the cross-border trade industry chain and gather incremental trade value of over 10 billion yuan (approx. 1.45 billion USD) within three years, realizing the digital upgrade of cross-border trade industry services in comprehensive bonded zones. 

Cultivating 1,500 qualified cross-border trade talents, the center aims to drive 15 local traditional production and foreign trade enterprises to create independent brands abroad. 

It is worth mentioning that the first one-stop comprehensive service platform for cross-border trade in Southwest China will be created at the center, providing settled enterprises with a series of services from policy consulting and taxation to cross-border settlement and supply chain management. 

Located in Cuntan International Business Center, the cross-border trade center will plan to build a business exhibition hall, leisure area, and corporate office area, providing standard and efficient one-stop comprehensive services to enterprises.
