The operation process of entrepot trade is roughly as follows: First, find reliable suppliers and buyers to ensure a stable trade relationship. Then, arrange the transportation of goods. The goods are first transported to the warehouse in the transit country or region. Here, Zhongshitong will assist in handling operations such as container replacement and packaging of the goods to avoid the exposure of product origin country information. At the same time, process relevant documents, such as certificates of origin, bills of lading, etc., and new documents will be issued by the transit point to show that the goods are exported from the transit point. After completing these, transport the goods to the final destination.
During the operation, pay special attention that the goods packaging should not have the logo of the origin country; document processing should be rigorous to ensure authenticity and effectiveness; also, choose a good transit point, considering factors such as its geographical location, policies and regulations, etc., to ensure the smooth progress of the trade.
