The reasons why entrepot trade is favored by enterprises are mainly as follows. Firstly, evading trade barriers. For example, some countries set high tariffs on specific products. Through entrepot trade, the goods are first shipped to a third country and then exported to the target country, which can reduce the tariff cost. Secondly, optimizing the supply chain. Enterprises can integrate resources through entrepot trade, improve the flexibility of goods allocation, and shorten the delivery time. Thirdly, expanding the market. Entrepot trade can help enterprises reach more buyers in different regions, thus opening up new markets. Fourthly, diversifying risks. It can avoid significant impacts on enterprises caused by fluctuations in a single market. In general, entrepot trade provides enterprises with more trade strategy options and helps enterprises develop in the complex and changeable international trade environment.

Entrepot trade can take advantage of the differences in tax policies in different regions to reduce tax costs and achieve reasonable tax avoidance. For example, some regions have preferential tax policies. When goods are transshipped through these places, they can enjoy a low tax rate, reducing the tax burden on enterprises.
