The entrepot trade mainly has the following types. First is the re - export trade. Foreign goods are imported into the country, and without substantially processing to change the state of the goods, they are re - exported to other countries. For example, China imports a batch of electronic products from the United States and then exports them to South Korea after simple packaging. This belongs to the re - export trade.
Secondly, there is documentary processing trade. In this type of trade, goods are directly transported from the producing country to the consuming country, but the entrepot trader participates in the transaction process, mainly responsible for handling trade documents and earning a price difference. For instance, goods produced in country A are shipped to country B, and the entrepot trader C, by virtue of mastering market information, makes a profit by reselling through document operation.
There is also processing entrepot trade. Goods are processed to a certain extent in the entrepot country to increase their added value and then exported. For example, in some clothing entrepot trades, simple cutting, printing and dyeing are carried out in the entrepot country, and then the goods are sold to other countries.
