01 Assumption: For a single product, monthly revenue is 500,000 RMB<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
For the sake of a fair comparison, let\u2019s assume you\u2019re selling the same product at the same price and with the same monthly sales volume. Since the baseline data is the same for both sides, we\u2019ll focus solely on comparing cost structures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n
Cost Structure of Cross-Border Stores<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Cost Items<\/th>
Cross-border Store (Monthly Sales: 500,000)<\/th>

Tax Costs (No RFC)<\/td>
Approximately 180,000 (36%)<\/td>
Deducted by the platform; no credit applied<\/td><\/tr>
For a cross-border store with monthly sales of around 500,000, if it does not register for an RFC tax number, tax expenses alone account for 36%. Combined with a high reliance on advertising, the net profit is virtually negative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The three most critical profit margins on both sides:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Tax Cost Difference<\/strong>: 36% vs. 10.5%\u2014with a monthly turnover of 500,000, the difference is approximately 127,500\u2014this is the largest hidden profit gap<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Difference in logistics costs<\/strong>: Local Warehousing vs. Cross-Border Logistics\u2014A Difference of About 20,000<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Advertising Cost Variance<\/strong>: Organic traffic on Full vs. traffic driven solely by ads\u2014the difference is about 25,000<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Combined, these three generate monthly sales of around 500,000,Domestic stores have approximately 170,000 more in net profit margin than cross-border stores.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

04 When to Switch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s not that you have to reach 500,000 in monthly sales to open a domestic store\u2014it\u2019s that once your monthly sales have picked up, continuing to operate a cross-border store is a waste of profit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here\u2019s a simple rule of thumb: If your monthly turnover consistently exceeds 100,000, the one-time costs associated with setting up a local store (company registration, tax ID, and store setup) can typically be recouped within 3 to 6 months through tax savings and increased traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The key isn\u2019t \u201cwhether it can be done,\u201d but \u201cwhen to make the move.\u201d Doing your own numbers is more important than listening to others say that \u201clocal stores are better.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
