Entrepot trade does require customs declaration. Although the goods in entrepot trade do not enter the domestic market, they still need to be declared to the local customs at the transit port.
The general process is as follows: First, before the goods arrive at the transit port, the freight forwarder or customs broker should prepare relevant documents in advance, such as commercial invoices, packing lists, bills of lading, etc. After the goods arrive at the port, the customs broker submits the declaration information to the customs. The customs reviews the documents and the goods information and inspects the goods (possibly by random inspection). If the documents are complete, the information is correct, and the inspection is qualified, the customs releases the goods, and they can be further transshipped to the final destination port.
During the customs declaration process, pay attention to the authenticity and accuracy of the documents, ensuring that the information on the invoice, bill of lading, etc., is consistent with the actual situation of the goods. At the same time, be familiar with the local customs policies and regulations of the transit port. Regulations may vary from port to port, so avoid delays or compliance risks due to lack of understanding.

Entrepot trade definitely requires customs declaration. It is similar to general trade customs declaration, except that the goods are not consumed in the country. The customs declaration materials should be prepared completely, such as contracts, invoices, etc., and declared truthfully as required. Otherwise, it will be troublesome if the customs finds problems.
