What support does Jiangsu give cross-border e-commerce exporters, and which cities are pilot zones? in detail
All 13 prefecture-level cities in Jiangsu are national cross-border e-commerce pilot zones. The current provincial plan is 苏政办发〔2026〕26号 (dated 2026-05-19, published 2026-06-02, covers 2026-2028): targets only, no amounts. Cash rewards mostly come from city rules. Suzhou's rules (苏府规字〔2025〕4号, valid to 2026-12-31) subsidise public overseas warehouses at 20% of storage and in-warehouse service fees, up to RMB 200,000 per year, with a cap of RMB 8 million in total per company. The previous provincial 2023-2025 plan (苏政办发〔2023〕39号) also had no amounts.

Dear friend,
Welcome! This letter sets out what you need to know, plainly and in order.
The short version
Jiangsu's province-level plan sets targets (for example, 100+ key public overseas warehouses by 2025) and eases customs filing. Money is paid by cities. Suzhou has clear numbers. For Nanjing and Wuxi we found only direction-setting measures.

Logistics support
- 2026-2028 plan (current): deepen integrated customs clearance, promote convenient transfer, build a multimodal supervision model; airport cargo pilots at Nanjing and Wuxi. No amounts.
- 2023-2025 plan (expired, for comparison): build the Wuxi international mail exchange office and the Nanjing international cargo and mail port project; "跨境电商＋中欧班列" (China-Europe trains) with more departures and new routes.
Where it is published
- Jiangsu Department of Commerce:
notices.
- City governments and commerce bureaus (Suzhou, Nanjing, Wuxi) publish rules and application notices. Suzhou's text says detailed conditions for some items are set separately by the city commerce bureau.
- A single provincial "policy cashing" portal was not found.
What it means for buyers
- Subsidies support sellers. They do not change your contract, price or quality terms.
- A supplier in a pilot zone can export by 9610, 9710 or 9810 channels; ask which one your order uses and where the goods ship from.
- A subsidy is not proof of quality. Check the supplier's licence and records.
Still uncertain
- Whether provincial implementing rules or fund measures for the 2026-2028 plan exist.
- An earlier note of this page gave the provincial page path as dated 2026-06-17; the published date of 苏政办发〔2026〕26号 is 2026-06-02. Whether these are the same document is not checked; the 2026-06-02 page is the one cited.
- Current Nanjing and Wuxi reward amounts.
- Implementing rules and timing of Suzhou's separate application notices.
- A provincial application portal.
