In entrepot trade, quota calculation depends on the specific situation. If Countries A and B have signed relevant agreements, it may be calculated according to the special provisions of the agreements. If there is no agreement, generally speaking, for exports from Country A, it is necessary to comply with the export quota restrictions of Country A; when entering Country B, it is necessary to meet the import quota standards of Country B. This is not a simple accumulation. For example, Country A stipulates that the annual export quota of a certain product is 500 tons, and Country B stipulates that the annual import quota is 800 tons. If Country A has already exported 400 tons and you purchase this product from Country A for transshipment to Country B, you can only purchase a maximum of 100 tons, even if there is still a large margin in the import quota of Country B, because the export quota restrictions of Country A must be satisfied first. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to the relevant regulations and procedures in our country during the process of entrepot trade to ensure compliance of the trade.
In short, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the regulations of the three countries and trade agreements, and consult professional trade consultants or professional institutions like Zhongshitong when necessary.

Usually, it is necessary to first check whether there is a trade agreement between the two countries. There may be special clauses on quota calculation in the agreement, and the content of the agreement must be carefully studied. If there is no agreement, the quota rules for imports and exports of each country will be implemented respectively.
