When converting foreign exchange in entrepot trade, attention should be paid to exchange rate fluctuations. Try to lock the exchange rate when signing contracts. Otherwise, changes in the exchange rate during settlement may lead to losses in earnings. Moreover, a good entrepot port should be selected. Some ports have stable policies and convenient operations, which can reduce troubles such as goods detention.
