To determine the volume of entrepot trade, first of all, attention should be paid to the flow of goods. The transfer path of goods between different countries or regions can be tracked, and with the help of logistics information, the actual quantity of goods passing through the transit place can be made clear. Secondly, relevant trade documents are important bases, such as bills of lading, commercial invoices, etc., which record detailed information about the quantity and value of goods. Moreover, customs declaration data cannot be ignored. The import and export customs declaration records of the transit place customs can provide accurate data on entrepot goods. In addition, maintaining close communication with trade partners to obtain transaction details in a timely manner is also an effective method. Professional trade data platforms can also be utilized, such as the Zhongshitong Platform, which integrates data from multiple sources and is convenient for querying and analyzing. By comprehensively applying these methods, the volume of entrepot trade can be determined more accurately.
