Firstly, regarding the nature of the goods, generally, the goods are required to be easy to store and transport and not prone to deterioration or damage during the transit process, such as electronic products, textiles, etc. Secondly, the relevant documentation must be complete. For example, the commercial invoice should accurately display the description, value, etc. of the goods; the bill of lading needs to clearly indicate the port of shipment, the port of transshipment and the port of destination of the goods. Thirdly, the packaging of the goods should meet international transportation standards, with functions such as moisture-proof and shock-proof to ensure transportation safety. Meanwhile, the goods also need to meet the relevant standards of the destination country such as quality, environmental protection, and certification. For example, the European Union has CE certification requirements for imported products. In addition, entrepot trade involves multiple parties, and the goods information should be consistent in each link to avoid differences that may lead to problems such as customs clearance.
