On February 18, the first day of the Year of the Dragon, Alibaba International officially launched semi-hosting in six countries: the United States, Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, Germany, and France. At present, on these country pages, the participating semi-custodial products are prominently labeled with "Alibaba Guaranteed", and are clearly marked with accurate delivery timeliness, fixed prices, and after-sales guarantees, etc., to attract more spot buyers.
Alibaba's international station officially launched semi-hosting.
It is reported that on the first day of launch, a large number of semi-custodial merchants have begun to issue orders. Industry insiders expect that in the upcoming foreign trade season in March, semi-custody will become an important way for foreign trade merchants to explode orders and domestic trade merchants to go to sea quickly. The reporter learned from Ali International Station that the "New Trade Festival" held in the peak foreign trade season in March will set up an exclusive venue for semi-custodial goods.
Since the beginning of 2024, semi-hosting has become the latest hot spot of cross-border e-commerce, and Ali International Station has also taken the lead in launching a semi-hosting model in the B2B field. As long as the merchant has stock and can meet the 3 7-day delivery, they can join, and they can entrust complex links such as logistics fulfillment to Ali International Station while ensuring independent operation.
