Abstract

Cross-border e-commerce is an important channel for trade cooperation in the SCO region, and is of great importance for trade development and facilitation within the SCO. Currently a unified regional cross-border e-commerce platform has not yet been formed in the SCO region. There are certain logistical and transport shortcomings in the region, the level of industrial parks needs to be improved, the mechanism of customs supervision is still imperfect, and the lack of market regulation limits cross-border trade. Facilitation development factors impede the further development of cross-border e-commerce within the SCO. This article considers the development of cross-border e-commerce in the SCO Local Economic and Trade Cooperation Demonstration Zone as a starting point, study the development of cross-border e-commerce in the SCO region, analyze the problems that exist in this sphere, and finally relevant proposals to the SCO management to facilitate the regional cross-border e-commerce platform were developed.

Keywords: SCO, trade facilitation, Local Economic and Trade Cooperation Demonstration Zone, cross-border e-commerce.
