CCTV News: Recently, the United States has significantly increased tariffs on Chinese goods imported to the United States, and foreign trade companies are facing challenges. In response to this, the Ministry of Commerce has increased its efforts to promote the integration of domestic and foreign trade. The domestic sales "direct train" opened by key supermarkets and e-commerce platforms for foreign trade enterprises allows export-hindered products to meet consumers as quickly as possible.

In an offline supermarket in Beijing, at the entrance and exit with the largest flow of people, the logo of the China Business Network for the best foreign trade was posted, and three foreign trade zones were set up, which were filled with products that both domestic and foreign trade. There is a standing sign in the special area, with a letter to China's high-quality supply chain. The open letter was published on April 7, proposing to open a "green channel" to companies with exports that are blocked: it will be launched quickly in 15 days. The supermarket manager said that as of now, the supermarket has a special email address, and has received nearly 500 emails, and 300 companies have been negotiating nationwide.

On April 22, the first batch of foreign trade products exported to domestic sales were listed on the supermarket. This company mainly produces toothbrushes, floss and other products, and has long supplied European and American supermarkets such as Walmart. Currently, cooperation with the US market has almost stagnated. After seeing the open letter, they immediately sent an email and received a reply the next day. In the communication group between the enterprise and supermarket, the reporter saw that there were procurement specialists who matched the product type and the full process of matching the product type. It only took 8 days from the establishment of the group to the express delivery of the product to the store.

Export to domestic sales also comes from the transformation needs of foreign trade companies themselves. The main business of this company is to export canned tuna and other products overseas. After 2018, it gradually reduced its export scale to the US market and turned to the European and Central and South American markets. Considering the uncertainty caused by rising tariffs and freight rates, they are actively expanding domestic sales.

Now, many retail companies extend "olive branches" to foreign trade companies. Helping "exports to domestic sales" is not just to overcome difficulties together, but to achieve "win-win" for suppliers, physical retail and consumers. Fu Longcheng, vice president of the China Federation of Commerce, said that the Chinese market is a vast ocean, and manufacturing enterprises and suppliers will provide more colorful goods to the domestic market, allowing Chinese consumers to enjoy more affordable services and better products.
