For general normal entrepot trade, it is sufficient to receive and pay through the bank, and there is no need to go to the State Administration of Foreign Exchange. As long as your trade materials are complete and pass the bank's review, there will be no problem. However, if the bank has doubts, it may ask you to provide more materials or even involve the State Administration of Foreign Exchange.

Entrepot trade involves the transfer of goods ownership and cross-border capital flow. The bank will control risks. As long as you truthfully declare the transaction and have complete materials, you basically don't need to go to the State Administration of Foreign Exchange. However, once the State Administration of Foreign Exchange requires cooperation in the investigation, you must actively provide materials.
