First of all, sign a purchase contract with the supplier to purchase goods in the name of the offshore company. The supplier ships the goods to the transit port, and at the same time, the offshore company signs a sales contract with the destination port customer. After the goods arrive at the transit port, the freight forwarder arranges operations such as container exchange and repackaging, and re - makes documents such as bills of lading, packing lists, and invoices. The shipper shows the offshore company, and the consignee shows the destination port customer. Then arrange the goods to be shipped to the destination port.
When operating, note that the document preparation should be accurate to avoid customs clearance problems due to discrepancies with the actual goods. When choosing a transit port, consider its geographical location, port facilities, and policies. In terms of capital flow, the destination port customer pays to the offshore company's account, and the offshore company then pays the supplier. Pay attention to exchange rate fluctuations. At the same time, comply with the trade regulations of various countries to avoid risks caused by violations. Through standardized operations, the entrepot trade of an offshore company can effectively reduce costs and increase profits.
