Entrepot trade usually cannot enjoy export tax rebates. Export tax rebates are measures taken by the state to enhance the competitiveness of domestic goods in the international market by refunding the value-added tax and consumption tax actually paid in the domestic production and circulation links for export goods. However, entrepot trade goods are not produced and processed in the country and have not paid the corresponding taxes in the country, so they do not meet the basic conditions for export tax rebates.
Entrepot trade is just that during the process of transporting goods from the producing country to the consuming country, they are transshipped in a third country, and the ownership of the goods changes during the transshipment process. For example, goods are produced in Country A, and a company in Country B buys them and resells them to Country C. The goods are directly transported from Country A to Country C, and the company in Country B is only responsible for the trade operations. In this case, the company in Country B cannot apply for export tax rebates. So generally speaking, entrepot trade cannot enjoy the export tax rebate policy.

Entrepot trade cannot get tax rebates because export tax rebates mainly target products that are produced and manufactured in the country and exported. Entrepot trade goods are not produced in the country and do not involve tax payments in the domestic production process, so naturally they cannot get tax rebates.

It cannot be enjoyed. There are strict regulations on export tax rebates, emphasizing that goods should be processed and value-added in the country and relevant taxes should be paid. Entrepot trade does not meet these requirements, so it cannot obtain tax rebates.

It cannot enjoy export tax rebates. The source of entrepot trade goods is not from the country. Export tax rebates are based on the export of domestic products, which is the basic policy logic.
