The common types of Taizhou international entrepot trade are as follows. First, traditional entrepot trade. Goods are transported from the producing country to Taizhou and then transshipped to the consuming country. Taizhou acts as a transit point for the goods. Its advantage lies in using Taizhou's geographical location and port advantages to reduce logistics costs.
Second, processing entrepot trade. Goods are subjected to simple processing, packaging, and other value-added operations in Taizhou before being re-exported, which can increase the product's value-added and profit margins.
There is also offshore entrepot trade. Both trading parties are outside the country. Goods do not actually enter or leave Taizhou. The transaction is completed through document transfer, and policies such as tax incentives can be enjoyed to improve the efficiency of capital operation.
In addition, entrepot trade can also be divided into direct entrepot and indirect entrepot according to the flow direction of goods. For direct entrepot, goods are directly transshipped without staying in Taizhou, which is fast; for indirect entrepot, goods are stored in Taizhou for a period of time, which allows for more flexible transportation arrangements.
