Can goods in entrepot trade enter the territory? Come and find out!
I've been researching knowledge related to entrepot trade recently, and I've had a confusion that I haven't figured out. Can't goods in entrepot trade enter the territory? I know that in entrepot trade, the country of production and the country of consumption do not directly trade goods, but conduct transactions through a third country. But during the transfer process of the goods, is it possible for them to enter the territory? If they can enter, what conditions need to be met? If they can't enter, what's the reason? I hope friends who know the ropes can help answer these questions.
