On June 22, the Shenzhen Bureau of Commerce, in collaboration with Amazon Global Selling, hosted a public livestream. The livestream sent a very clear message: the 9810 policy represents the ”innovative direction” for cross-border e-commerce exports, and Shenzhen is moving forward with the development of a 9810 tax refund support system, which is scheduled to be completed within this year.

However, the completion of system development does not mean it’s immediately ready for use. Once development is complete, there are still interdepartmental integration testing, internal testing, and rollout—a process that takes at least half a year. Until then, for most small and medium-sized sellers, the 9810 tax refund process remains a path that is ”theoretically feasible but fraught with practical hurdles.”

So here’s the question: Since the 9810 tax refund process isn’t an option for now, does that mean we have to keep paying for exports and wait to be audited?

It's not.

In addition to tax refunds, 9810 offers another tax-exempt option—no tax refund, but fully compliant; no need to wait for the system to go live—you can start right now.
