- Overseas buyers and sourcing agents who want to understand the policy background of Sichuan suppliers; Chinese sellers can also use it as a pointer.
Dear friend,
Welcome! This letter sets out what you need to know, plainly and in order.
The short version
Sichuan's provincial plan sets goals and convenience measures, not cash amounts. Cities such as Chengdu and Deyang decide amounts in their own yearly rules.
Policy list
| Policy | Key points (original wording kept where short) | Document no. and date | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Action Plan 2024-2027 (推动跨境电商高质量发展助力外贸稳规模优结构行动方案) | Goal: 年均15%的增速，到2027年底交易规模达到2000亿元 (15% a year; 200 billion yuan by end-2027). 9610: income tax on a deemed-profit basis in pilot zones. 9810: 属地备案、全国通用 (record in home region, valid nationwide) for overseas-warehouse exports; use the existing export tax refund. Customs: 先查验后装运 (inspect first, load later) pilot for LCL cargo; clearance by credit rating. Funds: include cross-border e-commerce when special funds are set; 原文未列具体金额. | 川商贸创〔2024〕18号, 2024-10-11; issued by Sichuan Dept. of Commerce, Development and Reform Commission, Chengdu Customs, SAFE Sichuan branch; plan period to 2027 | Grade A. Full-text copy on Deyang Credit  China site |
No official explainer from the provincial commerce department was found, so no Grade B row is listed.
Pilot zones (State Council replies): Chengdu (国函〔2016〕17号); Luzhou (
国函〔2019〕137号); Deyang, Mianyang (
国函〔2020〕47号); Nanchong, Meishan (
国函〔2022〕8号); Yibin, Dazhou (
国函〔2022〕126号); Guang'an (
国函〔2025〕40号).
Logistics clause: 鼓励开行“跨境电商+”中欧班列、空运专线 (encourage "cross-border e-commerce+" China-Europe trains and air freight lines; support third-party platforms to gather and ship goods inside Sichuan). Chengdu is a China-Europe train assembly hub, but this document lists no train subsidy amount.
Where it is published
The plan was issued by four bodies (see table). This page read a full-text copy on a Deyang government site. Amounts come from city notices; no verified provincial claim portal was found.
What it means for buyers
- These are supports for Chinese exporters. They are not a quality guarantee for any supplier.
- A supplier saying it is "subsidised" tells you nothing about price or reliability. Check the company itself.
- Never pay a "subsidy processing fee" to anyone; it is a risk signal.
Still uncertain
- Special-fund amounts: not in the text.
- Official explainer: not found.
- Train subsidy amounts and mail supervision centre clause: not found.
- Provincial claim portal link: not found.
