For example, the trade frictions between some regions intensified, making the goods face higher costs and more complex procedures during the entrepot process. However, challenges and opportunities always coexist. With the continuous advancement of the Belt and Road Initiative, the trade exchanges between the countries along the line have become closer, opening up new market space for the entrepot trade. Many regions that were not closely connected in trade originally have built bridges of communication through the entrepot trade, which provided new opportunities for the development of the entrepot trade in 2018.

The traditional entrepot trade mainly relied on the geographical advantages of port cities for the simple transfer of goods.

This not only improved the efficiency of the entrepot trade but also greatly reduced the operational risks. At the same time, the industrial chain of the entrepot trade is also constantly extending, no longer just limited to the transfer of goods, but also involving multiple fields such as finance and insurance. For example, during the entrepot process of goods, enterprises can solve the problem of capital turnover through the trade financing services provided by financial institutions to ensure the smooth progress of trade.

Facing the complex and changeable trade environment in 2018, entrepot trade enterprises must formulate effective risk response strategies. First of all, it is crucial to strengthen the research on policies and regulations. Changes in trade policies may directly affect the cost and feasibility of the entrepot trade. Enterprises should keep abreast of policy trends in a timely manner and adjust their business strategies in advance. Secondly, a diversified market layout is also an effective means to reduce risks.

Later, by expanding emerging markets, the enterprise successfully dispersed risks and maintained stable business development. In addition, enhancing its core competitiveness, such as optimizing logistics and distribution and improving service quality, is also the key for enterprises to gain a foothold in the entrepot trade.

Enterprises should seize opportunities, actively face challenges, and continuously innovate and improve their business models.
