In China, transshipment trade is allowed. Transshipment trade refers to the buying and selling of imported and exported goods in international trade. It is not directly carried out between the producing country and the consuming country, but is a trade conducted through a third country.
In terms of the operation process, first of all, reliable suppliers and buyers should be found and relevant contracts should be signed. Regarding the transportation of goods, the goods can be directly shipped from the producing country to the consuming country, but the documents need to be processed by the transshipment trader. For example, the names on documents such as bills of lading should reflect the transshipment trader.
The main restrictions are that relevant laws and regulations should be complied with, trade information should be truthfully declared, and illegal activities such as tax evasion and money laundering through transshipment trade should be avoided. Meanwhile, different goods may have special regulatory requirements, which should be clearly understood in advance to ensure that the trade is carried out in compliance.
