Generally speaking, products facing high trade barriers are suitable for entrepot trade. For instance, some European and American countries have set many quota restrictions and anti-dumping tariffs on Chinese textiles. Through entrepot trade, by using documents such as the certificate of origin of a third country, these barriers can be effectively avoided.
There are also some chemical products. In some regions, high taxes are levied on imported chemical products due to environmental protection and other requirements. Entrepot trade can change the origin attribute of the goods and reduce costs.
In addition, for some products with relatively low added value but large volume, like furniture, if directly exported, they face high tariffs. Entrepot trade can obtain more favorable trade conditions by conducting simple processing or repackaging at a suitable transit point.
