# Is outbound entrepot trade permitted under China's current 2026 customs and foreign exchange policies?

## Question

 I am the person in charge of a foreign trade enterprise in Shanghai focusing on the export of ceramic building materials to Southeast Asia. I am under extreme pressure recently: we have a batch of anti-slip ceramic tiles worth 1.2 million yuan to be shipped to Brazil, but the anti-dumping duty on Chinese ceramic tiles imposed by Brazil is as high as 80%. Peers told me that outbound entrepot trade can help avoid this high tax, but I have never been exposed to this type of business before and I am very uneasy. Is outbound entrepot trade allowed under China's current policies in 2026? I heard from the industry before that some enterprises had their goods detained at the entrepot port and their accounts frozen by the foreign exchange administration due to non-compliant operations. I am afraid of stepping into pitfalls and suffering losses. Moreover, this batch of goods has been stored at Shanghai Waigaoqiao Container Yard for 3 days, and the cargo cut-off time of the scheduled shipping schedule is the day after tomorrow. If we cannot adopt the entrepot route, we have to pay 15% liquidated damages to the customer. Please clarify this for me! 

## Answers
                            
### Answer 1 — Best Answer

First of all，it should be clear that China's current 2026 customs and foreign exchange policies **explicitly allow compliant outbound entrepot trade**. A common misunderstanding in the industry is confusing "compliant entrepot trade" with "fraudulent entrepot trade"，and the latter is the category prohibited by policies.

If you touch the red line of fraudulent entrepot trade，such as using forged certificates of origin or false bills of lading to avoid anti-dumping duties，it will trigger a chain of negative consequences: goods may be detained and held at the local customs of the entrepot port，resulting in high storage fees and detention fees，when verified by the domestic foreign exchange administration，it will be identified as false trade，leading to the freezing of the enterprise's foreign exchange account，and even the enterprise being included in the foreign trade credit blacklist，affecting all subsequent cross-border business operations.

Two points should be noted for physical risk isolation measures: first，choose entrepot ports with mature supervision such as **Singapore and Port Klang，Malaysia**，and avoid small ports with loose control but high risks，second，require the entrepot freight forwarder to provide independent storage certificates of the entrepot warehouse to ensure that the entrepot goods are physically isolated from other goods，and avoid the risk of origin traceability caused by mixed loading.

Exclusive loss mitigation tips: File the entrepot trade business with the **local foreign exchange administration** in advance，and keep all documents (including entrepot contracts，freight forwarder bills of lading，storage certificates) for at least 5 years，if the goods have been shipped，immediately ask the agent to provide the real-time status of the goods at the entrepot port. Once there is an inspection warning，replace the formal certificate of origin template and supplement real entrepot vouchers as soon as possible.

### Answer 2

The core of customs declaration for outbound entrepot trade follows the declaration logic of "no actual import and export". In 2026, the customs requires enterprises to submit the *Entrepot Trade Goods Declaration Form* when declaring, clearly indicating the entrepot destination, entrepot freight forwarder information and final flow of goods. If the final consignee information is not filled in truthfully during declaration, or the vague expression of "third-party trader" is used, the customs will launch a price review and verification, requiring supplementary documents such as entrepot contracts and copies of freight forwarder bills of lading. If the documents cannot be provided, it will be deemed as false declaration, facing penalties of deleting and re-submitting the declaration form or even fines. In addition, if the entrepot goods are customs-supervised commodities, it is necessary to apply for the *Entrepot Goods Supervision Filing* in advance to avoid customs detention caused by failure to file.

### Answer 3

The core of logistics for outbound entrepot trade is cargo right control and path connection. In 2026, priority should be given to first-class freight forwarders with entrepot trade operation qualifications, and avoid using unqualified small freight forwarders which may lead to loss of cargo right control. In the operation at the entrepot port, the freight forwarder should be required to provide "direct transfer alongside the ship" service to reduce the停留 time of goods at the entrepot port and reduce the risk of port detention; at the same time, it is necessary to ensure the compliance of bill of lading endorsement.

The House Bill of Lading (HBL) issued by the entrepot freight forwarder should clearly mark "FOR TRANSIT TO [final destination]" to avoid cargo detention at the final destination port due to unclear bill of lading description. In case of space shortage at the entrepot port, it is necessary to adjust the transit shipping schedule 72 hours in advance, and apply to the domestic customs for an extension of the goods storage period at the same time to avoid overdue storage fees.

### Answer 4

The core of taxation for outbound entrepot trade in 2026 is VAT deferment and related party transaction pricing compliance. When domestic enterprises carry out entrepot trade, if the goods do not actually enter the territory, they can apply for VAT deferment, and do not need to pay value-added tax at the import stage, but they need to submit entrepot trade contracts, freight forwarder bills of lading, overseas payment vouchers and other materials to the tax authority.

If the enterprise has an associated relationship with the overseas entrepot trader, it is necessary to ensure that the entrepot transaction pricing conforms to the arm's length principle, so as to avoid being identified as profit shifting by the tax authority due to excessively low pricing, which may trigger anti-tax avoidance investigations. In addition, the profit from entrepot trade shall be truthfully declared for enterprise income tax, and all transaction documents shall be kept for at least 10 years for tax verification.

### Answer 5

The core of foreign exchange receipt and payment compliance for outbound entrepot trade in 2026 is "three-flow consistency", that is, the matching of contract flow, fund flow and cargo flow. Enterprises should use the CIPS (Cross-border Interbank Payment System) for RMB cross-border payment, and avoid using offshore accounts for unfounded fund transfers; when receiving foreign exchange, the overseas buyer should be required to remit the payment directly into the foreign exchange settlement account of the domestic enterprise, and shall not transfer it through a third-party personal account. In case of inconsistency between the fund flow and the contract flow, it is necessary to submit the *Fund Flow Difference Explanation* to the local foreign exchange administration within 3 working days, and supplement the collection voucher of the entrepot freight forwarder, goods transit certificate and other materials to avoid being identified as illegal foreign exchange circulation.

### Answer 6

The core of legal affairs for outbound entrepot trade is cargo right transfer and risk coverage. In 2026, enterprises should clearly mark the "cargo right transfer node of entrepot trade" in the entrepot contract, that is, after the goods are loaded and unloaded at the entrepot port, the cargo right is transferred from the domestic enterprise to the final buyer, so as to avoid disputes caused by unclear cargo right nodes. At the same time, the "force majeure clause" should be added to the contract to clarify the division of responsibility for cargo delay caused by policy changes, port strikes and other reasons at the entrepot port; if it involves agency of certificate of origin, it is necessary to sign the *Certificate of Origin Authenticity Guarantee Agreement* with the entrepot service provider, stipulating that the service provider shall bear all losses caused by false certificate of origin, and apply for intellectual property customs protection filing at the same time to avoid the goods being complained of infringement at the entrepot port.

### Answer 7

The core of on-site inspection for outbound entrepot trade is cargo identification and seal management. When domestic customs inspect entrepot goods in 2026, they will focus on checking the origin identification and packaging marks of the goods. If there is an obvious "MADE IN CHINA" mark on the goods, the enterprise will be required to provide a full set of documents for entrepot trade, and even launch an origin traceability inspection.

During operation at the entrepot port, the freight forwarder should be required to replace the packaging marks of the goods, remove all Chinese origin marks, use one-time seals recognized by the customs, and keep the seal photos and seal numbers to avoid cargo right disputes caused by seal replacement. In case of on-site inspection at the entrepot port, the freight forwarder should be required to provide the inspection notice and on-site photos as soon as possible, supplement the entrepot contract and storage certificate, and cooperate with the inspection.

### Answer 8

The core of tax refund for outbound entrepot trade in 2026 is the determination of "no actual import". Entrepot trade goods do not actually enter the territory, so they cannot enjoy the export tax refund policy. Enterprises should avoid mistakenly declaring entrepot trade as general export trade, otherwise it will be identified as export tax fraud by the tax authority, facing tax repayment, fines and even criminal responsibility.

In terms of document management, entrepot trade documents should be stored separately from general export trade documents, including entrepot contracts, freight forwarder bills of lading, overseas payment vouchers, entrepot port storage certificates, etc., and kept for at least 10 years; if the tax authority initiates a verification inquiry, all documents should be submitted within 5 working days to cooperate with the tax inspection and avoid tax risks caused by incomplete documents.

### Answer 9

The core of supply chain planning for outbound entrepot trade is the balance between cost and risk. In 2026, enterprises should establish a precise cost calculation model for entrepot trade, including storage fees at the entrepot port, freight forwarder operation fees, certificate of origin fees, insurance premiums, etc., and compare with the amount of anti-dumping duty to ensure that the total cost of entrepot trade is lower than that of general export trade.

At the same time, an inventory linkage strategy should be established. If there is a delay in entrepot trade, spare goods in Southeast Asian overseas warehouses can be deployed to be sent to the final destination to avoid customer default caused by cargo delay. In addition, entrepot trade can be incorporated into the enterprise's cross-border trade structure design, complementing general export trade and cross-border e-commerce business, and reducing the risk of a single business line.
