Cross-border e-commerce, in the broad sense, means selling to customers via online channels across national borders. In China, the term has a specific sense: it is used to describe the activity of selling products to Chinese consumers via online stores, shipping products across borders through international couriers. The products do not enter China before the order is submitted, and they are delivered one by one to each customer. Warehouses and inventory can physically be in the retailer’s own country, in Hong Kong SAR, or in one of China’s free trade zones.
