The main indicators of China's entrepot trade are mainly in the following categories. Firstly, there are trade scale indicators. Among them, the volume of entrepot trade is the data that intuitively reflects the size of the entrepot trade scale, which is measured by counting the monetary value of the entrepot goods within a specific period. Secondly, there are trade flow direction indicators, including the distribution of the sources and destinations of the entrepot trade goods, which can reflect China's position and connections in the global entrepot trade network. Moreover, the trade commodity structure indicator is also very important. The proportion of different types of goods in the entrepot trade can help analyze the product focus of the entrepot trade. In addition, trade enterprise indicators, such as the number and scale of enterprises engaged in entrepot trade, reflect the situation of the industry's main bodies. Finally, the trade profit margin indicator, by calculating the ratio of the profit of the entrepot trade to the cost, evaluates the profitability of the entrepot trade business. These indicators show the situation of China's entrepot trade from different dimensions.

The trade time cycle can also be regarded as an indicator. If the time from the arrival, handling of the goods in the entrepot trade to the re-export is short, it indicates that the trade efficiency is high; otherwise, there may be problems in logistics, customs clearance, etc. This is very helpful for grasping the rhythm of the entrepot trade.

The port throughput indicator can also reflect the situation of the entrepot trade. For important ports such as Shanghai Port and Shenzhen Port, if the proportion of the goods used for entrepot trade in their throughput is relatively large, it indicates that the port is important in the entrepot trade and reflects the activity level of China's entrepot trade from the side.
