Entrepot trade can achieve value addition. Firstly, the most common way of value addition is to buy low and sell high by taking advantage of price differences in different markets. For example, if the price of a certain commodity is low in country A, while the demand for this commodity is strong and the price is high in country B, an enterprise purchases the commodity from country A, transships it to country B and sells it, earning the price difference.

Secondly, during the entrepot trade process, value-added services such as processing and packaging can also be provided to increase the value of the commodity. For example, simple processing of the purchased primary products, or changing the packaging to be more in line with the preferences of the target market, so as to sell at a higher price.

In addition, with their own trade channels and information advantages, entrepot traders can match supply and demand more efficiently and save transaction costs. This part of the saved costs can also be regarded as value addition.
