Compliance is the bottom line for cross-border e-commerce operations. In 2024, a Chinese cross-border e-commerce company was fined 12 million euros for not storing EU user data in compliance, resulting in a 40% drop in independent website traffic. This painful lesson serves as a warning to companies: ignoring compliance can result in even the largest investment being in vain.
The compliance of independent foreign trade websites involves multiple dimensions such as data privacy, taxation, payment, and products: EU GDPR, US CCPA data protection requirements, EU OSS value-added tax declaration, US state sales tax regulations, as well as product certification for different categories (such as CE, FDA, CPC certification), etc. Any missing item may pose risks.

Southern Internet will integrate compliance concepts throughout the entire process of website construction, creating a "compliant and risk-free" independent website for enterprises. We provide a complete compliance solution: built-in privacy policy templates, enabling encrypted transmission and compliant storage of user data; Integrate tax automation tools such as Avalara and TaxJar to automatically calculate global taxes and fees, supporting declaration needs such as EU OSS and UK VAT MOSS; Strictly review product display content to avoid intellectual property infringement risks.
