Definitely not without customs declaration. Although the goods in entrepot trade do not actually enter or leave the domestic customs territory, in the trade chain, customs declaration is an important means to record the information of the flow of goods. If customs declaration is not done, once disputes occur in the subsequent trade process, such as issues regarding the quality of goods, delivery time, etc., it will be very difficult to clarify responsibilities without customs declaration records as evidence.
