A Sino-Russian cross-border e-commerce platform is now officially open in Northeast China's Heilongjiang province.
The platform aims to promote cross-border trade between China and Russia and covers e-commerce businesses, logistics firms and customs authorities.
The platform is expected to accelerate customs clearance, cross-border payments and tax returns on both sides of the border. The new platform allows Chinese shops operating on the border to sell their goods online.
Trade between Heilongjiang and Russia exceeded US$23 billion last year, accounting for about a quarter of the total trade turnover between Russia and China.
