Entrepot trade can carry out various businesses. In the field of commodity trade, for example, a certain Chinese clothing enterprise, due to facing high tariffs from the United States, can conduct entrepot trade. First, transport the clothing to the warehouse in the free trade area of Malaysia, conduct simple processing such as repackaging and other value-added operations locally, and then export it to the United States in the name of a Malaysian company, thus avoiding some tariffs.
It can also do entrepot trade for electronic products. Domestic electronics manufacturers transport their products to the warehouse in Singapore, take advantage of Singapore's advanced logistics and financial services to conduct quality inspections, labeling, etc., and then resell them to Europe.
Moreover, in the field of agricultural products, for example, Southeast Asian fruits are transshipped to mainland China via Hong Kong. Hong Kong takes advantage of its trade port advantages to conduct businesses such as fresh-keeping treatment, distribution and delivery of fruits. Entrepot trade usually involves operation procedures such as commodity transportation, warehousing, value-added processing, and logistics distribution.
