The domestic sales business after Hong Kong's entrepot trade means that goods are first transported to Hong Kong, resold to other regions through Hong Kong, and then sold back to the domestic market.
Generally, the process is that domestic suppliers ship goods to Hong Kong. The goods can undergo value - added operations such as warehousing, sorting, and packaging in Hong Kong. Then, Hong Kong traders resell the goods to foreign buyers. If, for various reasons, these goods are later sold back to the domestic market, it forms the domestic sales after entrepot trade.
Compared with general trade, entrepot trade has an additional transit link in Hong Kong, through which the trade advantages of Hong Kong can be utilized, such as the free port policy and financial advantages. In addition, entrepot trade can, to a certain extent, circumvent trade barriers and optimize tax planning. However, it should be noted that operations must comply with relevant regulations and policies to ensure business compliance.
