The international entrepot trade in Hangzhou mainly has the following types. Firstly, there is the entrepot trade in the form of commodities. For example, a trading company in Hangzhou purchases a batch of electronic products from abroad and then resells them to other countries. The goods may not pass through Hangzhou but be directly shipped from the country of origin to the destination country. In this process, the trading company in Hangzhou is only responsible for the trading links.
Secondly, there is the entrepot trade in the form of services. For example, some enterprises in Hangzhou provide logistics planning, trade consultation and other services for multinational companies to assist them in completing the circulation of goods between different countries and obtain service fees therefrom.
There is also the processing entrepot trade. Enterprises in Hangzhou import raw materials from abroad, process them and then export them to other countries. For example, textile enterprises in Hangzhou import high-quality cotton, process it into cloth and then resell it to European countries. These types of entrepot trade enrich the forms of international trade in Hangzhou.

The entrepot trade also includes pure entrepot, where the goods do not enter Hangzhou locally but only the document processing and so on are carried out in Hangzhou. For example, some enterprises, after receiving orders, directly ask the suppliers to send the goods to the third-party customers.
