Generally speaking, products greatly affected by trade barriers are suitable for entrepot trade. For example, some textiles are subject to high tariffs and quota restrictions set by European and American countries. Through entrepot trade, transiting through a third country can effectively avoid these barriers and reduce costs.
High - value - added and easy - to - transport electronic products are also suitable. Such products are small in size and high in value, and the proportion of transportation costs in the entrepot process is relatively low. Products like mobile phone chips have a large global demand and a large room for entrepot operation.
There are also chemical products. Different countries have large policy differences in environmental protection standards for chemical products. Profits can be obtained through entrepot trade by taking advantage of these policy differences. In short, products greatly affected by policy and market differences usually have great potential for entrepot trade.
