The common types of glove entrepot trade mainly include the following. First is traditional entrepot trade. Goods are exported from the producing country to the transit country, and in the transit country, without processing, only simple treatments such as warehousing and repackaging are carried out before being transshipped to the consuming country. This type has a relatively simple process and lower risks. Second is processing entrepot trade. After the goods arrive in the transit country, a certain degree of processing is carried out locally, such as embroidering on gloves, adding decorations, etc., to increase the added value of the product before exporting. However, this requires in - depth understanding of the processing capacity and policies of the transit country. There is also offshore entrepot trade. Traders set up an offshore company in the transit country and conduct glove trade operations through the offshore company, taking advantage of preferential policies such as tax in offshore areas to reduce costs.
In addition, from the perspective of trade entities, there is entrepot trade led by middlemen. Middlemen use their own channel advantages to facilitate transactions; there is also entrepot trade directly participated by manufacturing enterprises, where manufacturing enterprises directly connect with the terminal market, reducing intermediate links.
