The Model of Block Chain Application in the Customs Clearance of Cross-Border Logistics from the Perspective of “The Belt and Road”
Abstract
“Unimpeded Trade” is the key field in the construction of “The Belt and Road”, and the customs clearance of cross-border logistics is the key link of “Unimpeded Trade”. Improving the efficiency of the customs clearance to advance trading facilitation is the key to this link. However, it is often a dilemma to strictly guard the country and improve the customs clearance efficiency to advance trade facilitation. The converged application that integrates blockchain technology and the customs clearance of “The Belt and Road” cross-border logistics can turn the “Dilemma” into “Both-side Satisfied”. This paper analyzes the coupling mechanism between the technological advantages of blockchain and the customs clearance needs of “The Belt and Road” cross-border logistics. On this basis, the framework of blockchain application model in the customs clearance of cross-border logistics and its core module—blockchain declaration form are constructed. Then, the main difficulties in the construction of application model are pointed out. Finally, the advantages of application model and practical application case are analyzed.
