Cainiao Group, the logistics arm of Chinese tech heavyweight Alibaba Group, on Tuesday announced the launch of a cross-border “green channel” designed to help the country’s exporters expand their footprint in overseas markets in response to new rounds of United States’ tariff hikes.
Leveraging its network of over 40 overseas warehouses in Europe, the US, Southeast Asia and Australia, the company aims to not only assist foreign trade merchants in diversifying their business operations globally, but also build flexible and agile supply chain models by utilizing its warehouses in Vietnam and Mexico.
Cainiao said exporters selling large furniture, 3D printers and auto parts will enjoy preferential prices, and can store their goods in the overseas warehouses free of charge for a maximum of 60 days.
Additionally, it will also provide cross-border merchants with a range of AI-powered intelligent tools, including inventory monitoring and analysis, intelligent warehouse allocation and sales forecasting, to help them achieve intelligent inventory management.
In terms of transportation capacity and logistics resources, Cainiao will offer merchants a string of supportive measures, such as freight subsidies, warehousing guarantee and last-mile delivery.
