# What is the specific amount standard of government subsidies that domestic entrepot trade enterprises can apply for in 2026?

## Question

 I am the head of a small and medium-sized foreign trade enterprise in Shanghai focusing on entrepot trade of precision electromechanical products. Last month, we just completed an entrepot order with a cargo value of USD 1.28 million, transiting from Malaysia to the EU. When dining with peers yesterday, I heard that entrepot trade can apply for government subsidies in 2026, which made me anxious immediately. I have never paid attention to relevant policies before, so I do not know how much the local Shanghai subsidy for entrepot trade is, whether it is calculated based on the proportion of cargo value, and whether there is an upper limit. I am also worried that the foreign exchange receipt and payment for this order was operated through a Hong Kong offshore account, which may not meet the declaration requirements so that we cannot get the subsidy. I am also afraid that as my peers said, incomplete declaration materials will lead to rejection and even trigger compliance risks, so I want to figure out the specific subsidy amount, declaration requirements and precautions as soon as possible. 

## Answers
                            
### Answer 1 — Best Answer

The 2026 government subsidy for entrepot trade in Shanghai adopts the "tiered calculation + qualification linkage" model，and the core subsidy standards are divided into two tiers: First，enterprises awarded the title of "Shanghai Foreign Trade Compliance Demonstration Enterprise" can apply for subsidies at 0.8% of the entrepot cargo value，with a maximum subsidy of CNY 120,000 per order，Second，ordinary compliant enterprises need to provide records of no foreign trade compliance penalties in the past 12 months，the subsidy rate is 0.5%，with a maximum of CNY 80,000 per order.

Two mandatory preconditions must be met for declaration: First，entrepot goods must be transited through Shanghai Port or Yangshan Port，and the full set of documents (including entrepot bill of lading，transit warehouse receipt，third-party proof of ownership transfer) must be kept for future reference，Second，foreign exchange receipt and payment must comply with the *Shanghai 2026 Guidelines for Cross-border Foreign Exchange Receipt and Payment Compliance*. For foreign exchange receipt and payment through offshore accounts，additional loading and unloading records of goods at the transit port must be provided to prove that the goods have not entered the domestic customs territory.

**Operation and redemption path** shall be promoted according to the following procedures: Log in to the "Shanghai Foreign Trade Public Service Platform" 10 working days in advance to complete online filing，and submit enterprise qualification certificates，order contracts，and transit pre-declaration documents，After passing the platform review，submit the formal subsidy application within 30 working days after the completion of goods transit and foreign exchange receipt and payment. The review cycle is 15 working days，and the subsidy funds will be directly transferred to the enterprise's corporate settlement account.

**Compliance red lines** shall be strictly avoided: It is strictly prohibited to pass off general trade and bonded warehouse resale as entrepot trade for subsidy declaration. Once verified by Shanghai Municipal Bureau of Commerce and the customs，all applied subsidies will be fully recovered，and the enterprise will be included in the foreign trade compliance blacklist，and shall not apply for any municipal or higher-level foreign trade support funds within 3 years. In addition，the entrepot cycle of a single order shall not exceed 90 days，otherwise it will be regarded as an invalid order and cannot apply for subsidies.

### Answer 2

The core customs declaration certificate for entrepot trade subsidy declaration is the "entrepot trade declaration form". When filling out the form, the supervision mode code "1200" for "entrepot trade" shall be strictly marked, the transportation mode shall be selected as "transit shipment", the country of origin shall be filled with the initial shipping country of the goods, the country of destination shall be filled with the final importing country, and the transit country shall be clearly marked in the remarks column.

If the declaration form is filled in incorrectly, you need to apply for deletion and re-declaration within 10 working days after the completion of goods transit. Overdue modification will not be allowed, which will directly affect the subsidy declaration qualification. In addition, during the customs valuation link, it is necessary to ensure that the deviation between the entrepot cargo value and the market price of similar goods in the transit place does not exceed 10%. If the valuation fails, a third-party price certificate from the transit place shall be provided, otherwise it will be deemed as non-compliant and cannot apply for subsidies.

### Answer 3

Entrepot trade subsidy declaration requires complete logistics trail documents. The core requirement is that goods must be transited through Shanghai Port or Yangshan Port, and the logistics path must be filed on the "Shanghai Foreign Trade Public Service Platform" in advance and shall not be changed at will.

During transit, documents such as transit warehouse receipts, bill of lading endorsement certificates, and port loading and unloading records shall be kept. The bill of lading shall be marked with "to order endorsement" to prove that the ownership of the goods is transferred at the transit port and has not entered the domestic customs territory.

If the goods are detained at the transit port for more than 7 days, a proof of the reason for detention issued by the customs shall be submitted, otherwise it will be regarded as an invalid entrepot order and cannot apply for subsidies. In addition, the logistics service provider must have the qualification for entrepot trade operation at Shanghai Port, otherwise the logistics documents issued by it will not be recognized.

### Answer 4

The 2026 government subsidy for entrepot trade is a fiscal fund, which meets the requirements of the *Announcement of the State Taxation Administration on Non-taxable Income*, so there is no need to pay enterprise income tax. However, when conducting the annual enterprise income tax final settlement, the enterprise shall submit the special purpose filing form of the subsidy fund to the competent tax authority. In addition, the income from entrepot trade shall be accounted for separately, and shall not be mixed with the income from general trade and domestic trade.

If it is not accounted for separately, it will be deemed as non-compliant by the tax authority, and cannot enjoy the non-taxable treatment of subsidies, which will also affect the qualification for subsequent subsidy applications. At the same time, entrepot trade is exempt from value-added tax, and special VAT invoices shall not be issued. If invoices are issued in violation of regulations, tax inspection will be triggered and the subsidy application qualification will be directly cancelled.

### Answer 5

The compliance requirements for foreign exchange receipt and payment for entrepot trade subsidy declaration shall strictly follow the *Shanghai 2026 Guidelines for Cross-border Foreign Exchange Receipt and Payment Compliance*. Foreign exchange receipt and payment shall be handled through banking institutions in Shanghai, or additional proof of ownership transfer at the transit port and goods loading and unloading records shall be provided when handling through offshore accounts. Foreign exchange receipt and payment shall be completed within 30 days after the completion of goods transit.

If foreign exchange is received or paid more than 15 days in advance, a proof of the authenticity of the trade background shall be submitted, otherwise it will be deemed as false entrepot trade and cannot apply for subsidies. In addition, the remarks column of the SWIFT message or CIPS system shall be clearly marked with "entrepot trade foreign exchange receipt and payment". If there is no such mark, the bank will not be able to issue a compliant foreign exchange receipt and payment certificate, which will affect the subsidy declaration.

### Answer 6

Standard entrepot trade contracts shall be provided for entrepot trade subsidy declaration. The contract shall clearly mark the nature of "entrepot trade", and clearly stipulate the initial shipping country of the goods, transit port, final destination country, and the specific time node for the transfer of goods ownership at the transit port. If the contract does not specify the transit port or ownership transfer clauses, it will be deemed that the trade background is unclear and the subsidy cannot be applied for.

In addition, if the entrepot cycle exceeds 90 days due to force majeure, a force majeure certificate issued by a third-party institution (such as port strike, epidemic port closure notice) shall be provided when applying for subsidies, otherwise it will be regarded as an invalid order. The contract shall be kept for at least 5 years for subsequent inspection by Shanghai Municipal Bureau of Commerce, customs and other departments.

### Answer 7

When entrepot trade goods are transited at Shanghai Port or Yangshan Port, they shall be inspected on site in the transit inspection area, and shall not enter the domestic ordinary inspection area. During inspection, the full set of entrepot trade documents (bill of lading, warehouse receipt, contract, proof of ownership transfer) shall be provided. The customs will focus on checking whether the quantity, specification and packaging of the goods are consistent with the documents, and whether the seal is a valid seal issued by the customs of the transit port.

If the goods are found to be inconsistent with the documents during inspection, a correction certificate issued by the supplier shall be provided within 3 working days, otherwise it will be deemed that the trade background is untrue and the subsidy cannot be applied for. In addition, if the goods are sampled for inspection during transit, the inspection record sheet issued by the customs shall be kept as an auxiliary certificate for subsidy declaration.

### Answer 8

Entrepot trade and export tax rebate belong to completely different trade supervision categories. Entrepot trade goods have not entered the domestic customs territory, so they cannot apply for export tax rebate. If an enterprise applies for entrepot trade subsidy and export tax rebate at the same time, it will be deemed as illegal, the subsidy funds will be fully recovered and the enterprise will face tax penalties.

Documents for subsidy declaration shall be completely separated from export tax rebate documents, kept separately and shall not be mixed. In addition, Shanghai Municipal Bureau of Commerce will conduct compliance audits together with the tax authorities within 12 months after the subsidy is disbursed.

If the enterprise is found to have illegal export tax rebate records (such as falsely issuing tax refund documents, fund backflow), its qualification for subsidy application in the subsequent 3 years will be cancelled. The subsidy funds shall be specially used for operation costs such as logistics, documents and compliance of entrepot trade, and shall not be misappropriated for other purposes.

### Answer 9

From the perspective of supply chain planning, entrepot trade enterprises can maximize government subsidy income by optimizing order structure: First, give priority to Shanghai Port or Yangshan Port as the transit port to enjoy the exclusive subsidy policy of Shanghai; Second, reasonably split or merge the order value to make a single order as close as possible to the subsidy upper limit (CNY 120,000 for compliance demonstration enterprises, CNY 80,000 for ordinary enterprises), so as to avoid wasting subsidy quota due to too low or too high cargo value.

In addition, it is necessary to establish a special supply chain management system for entrepot trade, completely isolate document management, logistics path, foreign exchange receipt and payment processes from general trade, so as to avoid compliance risks caused by mixing. At the same time, it is necessary to evaluate the congestion risk of the transit port in advance, and select logistics service providers with alternative transit ports to ensure that the entrepot cycle does not exceed 90 days and meets the time requirements for subsidy application.

            "text": "From the perspective of supply chain planning, entrepot trade enterprises can maximize government subsidy income by optimizing order structure: First, give priority to Shanghai Port or Yangshan Port as the transit port to enjoy the exclusive subsidy policy of Shanghai; Second, reasonably split or merge the order value to make a single order as close as possible to the subsidy upper limit (CNY 120,000 for compliance demonstration enterprises, CNY 80,000 for ordinary enterprises), so as to avoid wasting subsidy quota due to too low or too high cargo value. In addition, it is necessary to establish a special supply chain management system for entrepot trade, completely isolate document management, logistics path, foreign exchange receipt and payment processes from general trade, so as to avoid compliance risks caused by mixing. At the same time, it is necessary to evaluate the congestion risk of the transit port in advance, and select logistics service providers with alternative transit ports to ensure that the entrepot cycle does not exceed 90 days and meets the time requirements for subsidy application.",
