according to yunqing data,in the first eight months of this year, nearly 5 billion declarations were made at ports across the country, with an average of more than 600 million declarations per month and more than 20 million declarations per day, nearly two orders of magnitude more than the declarations made during the same period. especially during the "618" promotion this year, the maximum processing speed of the external network import and export volume system reached 85,000 declarations per minute.

as a typical representative of digital trade, cross-border e-commerce has the characteristics of "informationization, instantaneousness, massiveness, fragmentation, and anonymity", among which the massive characteristic is particularly prominent.

massive amounts of data have brought tremendous pressure on customs clearance, and as the industry continues to develop, the pressure will increase. how to ensure the smooth operation and circulation of data and systems is the basis for high-quality development of foreign trade and an important part of customs supervision and business reform.

in recent years, customs across the country have promoted digital transformation and intelligent upgrading, and accelerated the construction of smart customs. at present, the general administration of customs has completed the overall plan and promotion plan for the construction of smart customs, and has initially built the "four beams and eight pillars" of smart customs, forming an overall framework of "four fulls", "six transformations", "five platforms" and "three mechanisms". among them, the "five platforms" include infrastructure platform, application support platform, big data analysis platform, business collaboration platform and monitoring and command platform.

"customs across the country are gradually applying these achievements to the upgrade of cross-border e-commerce systems." a relevant person in charge of the general administration of customs said at a seminar on "technology assisting cross-border customs clearance and cross-border e-commerce customs clearance technical support stress testing" held in jiujiang city, jiangxi province recently.

it is reported that the customs science and technology department has established an integrated monitoring and analysis platform for delivery channels using the big data analysis platform to strengthen real-time monitoring and timely remind the disposal of abnormal documents. through the application support platform, an identity information verification module has been developed to confirm the authenticity of transactions. in the next step, the customs science and technology department will use the infrastructure platform to further upgrade the cross-border system hardware environment and enhance the system's processing capabilities and stability.

in the field of cross-border e-commerce, the customs science and technology department has made many innovative attempts, such as payment information verification, identity information verification, logistics information verification, and electronic payment and electronic printing of tax bills. it is expected that by the end of this year, the customs science and technology department will launch the automatic docking function between the cross-border e-commerce export system and the manifest system, realize the linkage between document release and manifest verification and cancellation, reduce the number of errands for enterprises, and facilitate on-site customs officers.

taking the construction of smart customs as an opportunity, and making full use of the achievements of scientific and technological innovation, relevant departments work together to carry out stress testing and technical support during the promotion period. the customs science and technology department further upgraded and optimized the cross-border e-commerce customs clearance system, improved the technical operation and maintenance guarantee system, strengthened risk control, and made every effort to ensure the smooth and orderly customs clearance of cross-border e-commerce during the "618" and other promotions.

"for many years, we have insisted on conducting full-link stress testing of cross-border e-commerce before every major promotion to ensure the stability and reliability of cross-border e-commerce business under high concurrency and large traffic conditions." zeng cong, deputy section chief of the science and technology department of guangzhou customs, said that conducting stress testing is an effective tool to test the stability and resilience of the system, and can make adequate preparations for dealing with emergencies.

"before every big promotion, the customs technology department will take the initiative to connect with large e-commerce companies, understand the companies' promotional arrangements, estimate the total business volume, and learn in detail about the number and concentrated push time of lists during the promotion period, and study and predict the peak trends of cross-border business traffic." said yu pengcheng, customs director of cainiao group's global import supply chain.

in response to the business peak during the cross-border e-commerce promotion period, the customs science and technology department has formed a key technical support team, focusing on monitoring and inspection of key system process links such as data declaration and data exchange, strengthening 7×24-hour on-duty and operation monitoring, strengthening monitoring and early warning of system operation status, and connecting with business departments and e-commerce platform companies in real time to ensure smooth and efficient operation of the system throughout the entire process.
