Which areas in Shanghai are allowed to conduct entrepot trade?
Solved#Entrepot trade#
I'd like to know which places in Shanghai are actually allowed to conduct entrepot trade. Our company has plans for business expansion in this regard, but we're not quite clear about the specific regional scope. Is it possible to conduct it throughout Shanghai, or are there specific regional restrictions? If there are specific regions, what advantages do these regions have in terms of policies, transportation, supporting facilities, etc., that can support the better development of entrepot trade? I hope to get a detailed answer. Thank you.

In Shanghai, multiple areas are allowed to conduct entrepot trade. Firstly, the Shanghai Pilot Free Trade Zone is one of the important areas. The Shanghai Free Trade Zone implements special trade policies, such as trade facilitation measures. The circulation of goods within the zone is more convenient, which greatly saves time and cost. Meanwhile, the innovation of customs supervision mode simplifies the customs declaration and other procedures for entrepot trade.
The Waigaoqiao Free Trade Zone also has great advantages. It is the first free trade zone in the country, with complete logistics facilities and professional warehousing, transportation and other supporting facilities. It is close to the port, and the transportation is very convenient, which can efficiently connect with international shipping routes and is conducive to the rapid transshipment of goods.
