The functions of entrepot trade are mainly reflected in the following aspects. First, evading trade barriers. For example, if country A imposes high - additional tariffs on a certain product from country B, enterprises in country B can first export the product to country C, which has no restrictions on this product. After simple processing or warehousing, it is then exported to country A, thus reducing trade costs.
Second, expanding markets. Through entrepot trade, enterprises can utilize the geographical location and trade policies of the transit country to reach more customers in different markets and expand the sales scope.
Third, optimizing resource allocation. It can integrate the advantageous resources of different countries, such as raw materials and labor, to improve production efficiency.
In addition, it can also reduce logistics costs. Reasonably choosing the transit port can optimize the transportation route and save logistics expenses.
