From 2 May to 4 May, Azoya has attended the iMedia Online Retail Summit 2016. Don made a speech at the event, which focuses on online retail innovation.

As a pioneer in China's import eCommerce market, Azoya has accumulated a wealth of in-market information and data. Don shared these valuable information and deciphered the data to let the audience have an clear and direct understanding of China's bourgeoning cross-border online shopping market. 

Azoya has established a solid business presence in China. Among our many business partners, many well performing online retailers are from Australia. Azoya helped them sell to China in a flexible way. Chinese consumers have voracious appetite for Australian products. They are spooked away by the quality and safety scandals of domestic products. Appealed by the reputation of Australian products for their safety and cleanness, Chinese consumers flock to Australia to buy.

Previously, this purchasing craze mainly take form of "agent purchasing", which is dubbed as "Daigou" in Chinese. However, as the authority tightens its grip on import surveillance, traditional "daigou" is more and more to operate in this business. Direct shipping online shopping arises to fill this consuming demand. Even though the Chinese authority has introduced new tax policy and "positive list" upon import retail eCommerce, importing through UPU and personal parcel shipping routes are still workable.

Azoya has demonstrated its ability to adapt to China's challenging market and policy environment. Azoya team is resilient and flexible to catch the opportunity while avoid various risks. That takes a profound understanding of the market and a shrewdness to devise the most viable strategies. In iMedia, Azoya shared its expertise to be successful in China through adopting cross-border eCommerce strategies.
