For conducting entrepot trade, usually the right of import and export is required. Entrepot trade involves the circulation of goods among different countries. Goods are purchased from overseas and then sold to a third country. Although the goods may not enter the customs territory of the home country, a series of procedures related to import and export such as customs declaration and clearance are involved in the operation process.
Only with the right of import and export can an enterprise sign contracts with foreign suppliers and customers in its own name, handle goods transportation, insurance and related documents such as commercial invoices and bills of lading. If an enterprise doesn't have the right of import and export, it doesn't mean that it can't conduct entrepot trade at all. It can be operated through an agency company with the right of import and export. The agency company assists in handling matters such as customs declaration and foreign exchange collection, but this may increase the cost. And in the cooperation, it is necessary to clearly define the rights and obligations of both parties to protect one's own interests. In conclusion, having the right of import and export enables one to conduct the entrepot trade business more independently and conveniently.
