The United States mainly takes the following measures to prevent entrepot trade. Firstly, there are strict rules of origin, which specify in detail the criteria for determining the origin of products eligible for preferential treatment for imports into the United States, controlling the true source of goods from the source. If the goods do not meet the criteria, they cannot enjoy the corresponding tariff preferences. Secondly, customs supervision is strengthened. The customs uses advanced technical equipment and data analysis means to conduct strict inspections on imported goods to verify whether the declared information of the goods matches the actual situation and not let any suspicious clues slip. Thirdly, a trade data monitoring system is constructed to closely track the dynamics of trade data and timely detect abnormal trade flows through comparative analysis so as to take prompt actions. In addition, active cooperation is carried out with other countries to exchange trade information and jointly combat improper entrepot trade behaviors. Through a multi-pronged approach, the risks brought by entrepot trade are reduced to the greatest extent.
