The common types of liquor re-export trade are as follows. Firstly, there is the direct re-export trade, where the goods are directly shipped from the producing country to the consuming country, but pass through a third country during transportation. For example, liquor produced in France is directly shipped to the US, with transshipment at a UK port.
Secondly, there is the indirect re-export trade. The goods are first shipped from the producing country to the re-exporting country, and after being stored, processed, etc., they are then shipped to the consuming country. For example, Scotch whisky is first shipped to Singapore, where it undergoes repackaging and other treatments before being sent to Australia.
There is also the offshore re-export trade, where the re-exporter does not actually handle the goods but completes the transaction through document handling. For example, a Chinese trader purchases liquor from Ireland and sells it to a Brazilian customer. The goods are directly shipped from Ireland to Brazil, and the Chinese trader only handles the relevant trade documents. In addition, the bonded zone re-export trade is also quite common. The goods are stored in the bonded zone, waiting for the right opportunity to be transshipped. For example, in the bonded zone where Zhongshitong is located, liquor can be temporarily stored and undergo simple processing before being exported.
