"Recently, the Shenzhen Municipal Bureau of Commerce announced the list of designated trade-oriented headquarters enterprises for the year 2023, with 16 companies including SF Express being selected in the second batch this year. Since its establishment in 2004, SF Express has evolved into a global comprehensive service provider in cross-border e-commerce supply chain, offering three main products including express parcel lines, overseas warehouses, and first-mile services. It is recognized as the most sound service provider in its segmented market and boasts the most extensive global network. This designation of a trade-oriented headquarters enterprise is of significant importance for the company to enhance its international operational capabilities, gradually integrate into the global supply chain, industrial chain, and value chain, and strengthen its global resource allocation capabilities."

"It is reported that trade-oriented headquarters enterprises in Shenzhen refer to headquarters institutions established by domestic and foreign enterprises in Shenzhen with single or comprehensive trade functions such as procurement, distribution, marketing, settlement, and logistics. This includes traditional trading enterprises and platform-type trading enterprises engaged in matching transactions or providing supporting services based on the Internet and other information technologies. The designated trade-oriented headquarters enterprises in this round cover categories such as domestic wholesale and retail, international trade of goods, logistics warehousing, and platform transactions. Among them, those mainly engaged in logistics warehousing or international service trade are required to have their business revenue account for over 50% of the total revenue, and their previous year's revenue should exceed 4 billion yuan.

As a leading cross-border e-commerce logistics enterprise rooted in Shenzhen, SF Express relies on digital operations and technological innovation to drive business development. It has formed three clouds, two laboratories, and a comprehensive solution platform. By utilizing Alibaba Cloud, Amazon Cloud, and SF Express's private cloud for data storage and analysis, SF Express conducts virtual simulations of overseas warehousing first, enabling the establishment of new warehouses in 28 days. Leveraging the advanced technology laboratory in Chengdu, SF Express develops ChatGPT and big data models, and builds an integrated middleware platform for hardware devices, human-computer interaction, and software applications. SF Express employs technologies such as big data, mobile Internet, smart Internet of Things, and automation, along with advanced equipment, to achieve optimal matching between people, goods, and locations. It has provided end-to-end, multi-level warehouse and distribution services for 200 countries and regions worldwide, with delivery times as fast as 3 days overseas, continuously constructing the "Chinese brand" outbound express channel."

"At present, SF Express has established a high-quality global logistics network. The company has served large platform clients such as Amazon, eBay, AliExpress, Lazada, Walmart, Joom, Ozon, and some independent site sellers. Additionally, it provides cross-border logistics services for manufacturing enterprises such as Yuanqisenlin, Midea, Gree, and Lin's Wood Industry, helping enterprise customers improve supply chain operational efficiency and providing ultimate logistics experience for customers.

In the future, SF Express will actively leverage the advantageous position of a trade-oriented headquarters enterprise to promote the integrated development of domestic and foreign trade, enhance the capability to allocate global resource elements, and play a leading role in the "dual circulation" new development pattern comprehensively."
