Processing entrepot trade does require going through customs. Processing entrepot trade means that goods are first transported to one's own country, processed, and then exported to other countries. Since it involves the cross - border movement of goods, going through customs is an essential link.
Its customs clearance process has its unique features compared with general trade. First of all, when the goods enter the country, detailed information such as the processing purpose of the goods and the expected re - export situation after processing need to be declared to the customs. The customs will supervise the goods according to the declared content.
When the goods are processed and ready for export, it is necessary to declare to the customs again, providing information such as the list of processed goods and the export contract. The customs will release the goods only after verifying that the goods are in line with the declaration. Compared with general trade, the key point of customs supervision in processing entrepot trade is to ensure that the processed goods are re - exported as required and prevent situations such as unauthorized domestic sales of goods.
