Foreign-funded enterprises can conduct entrepot trade. Entrepot trade refers to the buying and selling of imported and exported goods in international trade, which is not directly carried out between the producing country and the consuming country, but through a third country.

For foreign-funded enterprises to carry out entrepot trade, first, they need to ensure that their business scope includes relevant content. If not, they need to handle the change of business scope first. Secondly, in the operation, attention should be paid to the logistics link. Although the goods do not enter the domestic customs territory, the transportation route planning should be reasonable to avoid problems such as cargo detention. In terms of capital flow, they should follow the foreign exchange management regulations, do a good job in foreign exchange receipt and payment, and ensure the compliant transfer of funds. In addition, document processing is also crucial. All kinds of trade documents such as bills of lading and invoices need to be accurate and match the trade process. In short, as long as relevant regulations and requirements are met, it is feasible for foreign-funded enterprises to carry out entrepot trade.
