When converting entrepot trade to domestic trade, first of all, it is necessary to confirm the status of the goods. If the goods are overseas, transportation to the designated domestic ports needs to be arranged. Import customs clearance procedures need to be handled, and necessary documents such as contracts, invoices, packing lists, and bills of lading need to be prepared. Declare to the customs and pay the corresponding tariffs and value-added taxes.
The enterprise needs to possess the qualifications for domestic trade. For example, if the business scope of the business license covers relevant businesses, if not, it is necessary to apply for modification to the industrial and commercial department in a timely manner. It is also necessary to establish domestic sales channels, which can be done through e-commerce platforms, participating in exhibitions, developing distributors, etc. In addition, it is necessary to consider the characteristics and demands of the domestic market and adjust product strategies. For example, the packaging, specifications, etc. of the products may need to conform to the habits of domestic consumers. At the same time, an after-sales service system also needs to be built up to protect the rights and interests of consumers and enhance the brand reputation.

The warehousing aspect cannot be ignored either. When the goods arrive in the domestic market, there should be a suitable place to store them. Find a reliable warehouse to ensure the safety of the goods. If the goods have special requirements for the warehousing environment, more attention should be paid.
