What are the cross-border e-commerce customs supervision codes 9610, 9710, and 9810 respectively? Understand the differences in export models in one article.
Created on Today
With the compliant development of the cross-border e-commerce industry, traditional 'bill of lading customs declaration' or gray customs clearance models are gradually exiting the stage. More and more sellers are paying attention to formal export channels in order to achieve transparent foreign exchange settlement, legal tax rebates, and reduce operating risks. Among China Customs' supervision methods, '9610', '9710', and '9810' are three codes that appear with extremely high frequency.
Many sellers easily confuse the differences between these three. As a professional international logistics service provider, Kang Sheng Yun Tong International Logistics will provide you with an in-depth analysis of the definitions, differences, and applicable scenarios of these three codes today, helping you choose the most suitable export mode.

IV. Summary of Core Differences Between the Three
For ease of memory, we can quickly distinguish them through the following table:
Supervision Code | 9610 | 9710 | 9810 |
Transaction Object | Overseas Individual Consumers (C-end) | Overseas Enterprises (B-end) | Overseas Enterprises/Consumers (via Overseas Warehouse) |
Logistics Form | Small Package Direct Mail | Bulk Export, Direct Delivery | Bulk Export, Shipped to Overseas Warehouse |
Sales Timing | Sold (Exported upon Sale) | Sold (Exported upon Sale) | Not Sold (Export First, Then Sell) |
Typical Scenarios | Independent Websites, Self-Shipped, Small Packages | B2B Online Wholesale, Bulk Orders | Amazon FBA, Third-Party Overseas Warehousing |
V. How to Achieve Compliance and Cost Reduction Using These Codes?
For the vast majority of cross-border sellers, especially Amazon FBA sellers, correctly using the 9810 mode is key to compliant transformation. Through formal customs declaration and export, enterprises can not only solve tax compliance issues but also enjoy export tax rebates, offsetting rising logistics costs.

Frequently Asked Questions
I'm an Amazon FBA seller, do I have to use 9810?
Answer: Although not mandatory, it is strongly recommended. Previously, FBA goods were often declared under 'General Trade' (0110), which easily led to the risk of 'discrepancy between single and goods'. 9810 is specifically designed for the overseas warehousing model, offering higher compliance and solving the problems of foreign exchange settlement and tax rebates.
Is it troublesome to get tax rebates through 9710 or 9810?
Answer: As long as the documents are complete, the process is not complicated. Kang Sheng Yun Tong can provide professional customs declaration and inspection services, assisting you in organizing packing lists, invoices, and other materials, and cooperating with the customs' 'tax exemption without invoice' or 'export tax rebate' policies.
I'm new to cross-border e-commerce and have a small volume of goods, which one is suitable?
Answer: If you are a direct small parcel shipping customer, 9610 is suitable; if you are sending a small amount of goods to FBA for trial, although you can use 9810, it is recommended to find professional logistics consultants (such as Kang Sheng Yun Tong) to plan LCL solutions in the early stage to balance compliance costs and logistics expenses.
