Entrepot trade usually requires two customs declarations. The first customs declaration occurs when the goods are exported from the country of origin to the transit country. The exporter needs to prepare relevant documents such as commercial invoices, packing lists, and bills of lading according to the customs declaration requirements of the country of origin and declare the export information of the goods to the customs of the country of origin. This customs declaration is mainly to complete the legal exit of the goods from the country of origin.
The second customs declaration is when the goods are re-exported from the transit country to the final destination country. The transit merchant declares to the customs of the transit country and also needs to prepare various export documents. It should be noted that the information of the goods in the two customs declarations should be consistent to avoid errors. Meanwhile, the transit country may have different trade policies and customs declaration regulations, which should be clearly understood in advance, such as the special supervision requirements for certain goods. In addition, the authenticity and integrity of the documents are crucial in both customs declarations to avoid affecting the smooth flow of the goods.
