There are certain risks in the entrepot trade at Wusong Port. Firstly, in terms of policies and regulations, the state's policies on entrepot trade may be adjusted. If not monitored in a timely manner, it may lead to restrictions on trade activities. For example, the requirements for the import and export qualifications of certain commodities may change.
Secondly, there are also risks in the goods transportation link. The throughput of goods at Wusong Port is large. During the peak transportation period, the loading, unloading, and storage of goods may be delayed, affecting the on-time delivery of goods.
Furthermore, market risks cannot be ignored. Entrepot trade involves different national markets, and it is difficult to accurately control market demands and price fluctuations. If there is a misjudgment of market trends, it is easy to cause an overstock of goods. However, as long as policy research is done in advance, reliable logistics partners are chosen, and the market is thoroughly researched, the risks can be minimized.

Information asymmetry is also a risk. If the information about the upstream and downstream markets and policies is not fully grasped, it is easy to be in a passive position in the trade.
