# Is Entrepot Trade Part of the Export-Oriented Economy Category? What Are the Specific Core Judgment Criteria?

## Question

 I am the head of a small and micro enterprise mainly engaged in entrepot trade with Southeast Asia, based in Shanghai. Recently, I am applying for the logistics subsidy for export-oriented enterprises issued by the municipal government. When submitting the materials, I was informed by the counter that I need to clarify the economic attribute of entrepot trade first. I am really anxious right now, because this subsidy can cover nearly 15% of my annual maritime logistics cost. If I fail to get it due to wrong attribute judgment, my already tight cash flow will definitely have problems. The freight forwarder I cooperated with before firmly claims that entrepot trade belongs to export-oriented economy, but my company's accountant says it depends on whether the cargo flow actually exits the border and whether the capital flow is compliant. The more I hear, the more confused I get. I want to ask from a professional perspective: Is entrepot trade actually export-oriented? What specific conditions need to be met to get the identification? Are there any compliance pitfalls I haven't noticed? 

## Answers
                            
### Answer 1 — Best Answer

First of all，we need to correct a common misunderstanding in the industry: Many practitioners mistakenly believe that as long as it involves cross-border cargo flow，entrepot trade is automatically classified as export-oriented economy. This is a typical wrong attribute judgment.

The chain negative reaction caused by this misjudgment is direct and fatal: If an enterprise applies for export-oriented policy subsidies based on this misjudgment，it will be rejected due to inconsistent attributes，and may also be included in the policy application dishonesty list，and cannot apply for any government support within 3 years，If you file for tax preferences as export-oriented economy in tax declaration，it will trigger related transaction inspection by tax authorities. The mild consequence is supplementary payment of taxes and late fees，and the severe consequence is a fine of 0.5 to 5 times the tax amount.

Physical risk isolation measures should be carried out from two dimensions: one is **Retention of cargo flow documents**，you must keep the full set of documents of entrepot goods，including international bill of lading，transit warehouse receipt，and third-party logistics track certificate，the other is **Compliance management and control of capital flow**，ensure that the payment and receipt subject is consistent with the subject of the trade contract，and avoid third-party payment and collection on behalf.

Exclusive stop-loss tip: If you have already submitted the application due to misjudgment，you need to actively withdraw and supplement attribute judgment materials within 3 working days，and submit the *Trade Attribute Compliance Statement* to the competent authority at the same time. You can provide the cargo loading monitoring video from the transit warehouse to prove the cross-border attribute of cargo flow，so as to reduce the risk of dishonesty.

### Answer 2

From the perspective of customs supervision, the core premise for entrepot trade to be identified as export-oriented economy is that the goods actually enter and exit the territory (including overseas warehouse receipt filing for transit warehouses). If the goods only transit in a domestic bonded warehouse and do not actually exit the territory, the customs will classify it as bonded warehousing trade, which does not belong to the category of export-oriented economy.

Special attention should be paid when customs declaration: The customs declaration form for entrepot trade needs to check the supervision method code "1210" for "entrepot goods", and submit the goods entry certificate issued by the customs of the transit country at the same time. If you cannot provide the certificate, the customs will directly judge it as domestic trade converted to cross-border, and will not recognize the export-oriented attribute. In addition, if the deviation between the customs declaration value and the bill of lading value exceeds 10%, it will trigger a customs valuation dispute, and you need to provide a third-party value evaluation report as proof.

### Answer 3

From the perspective of international logistics link, the key for entrepot trade to meet the requirements of export-oriented economy is the cross-border transfer of cargo title and the cross-border circulation of actual logistics. If the goods only complete the transfer of cargo title in the domestic bonded area and do not exit the territory through international transportation, it cannot be identified as export-oriented entrepot trade even if the capital flow is cross-border payment and receipt.

Key points to control in logistics operation: First, choose an overseas warehouse with the qualification of the transit country to ensure that the goods can issue formal warehouse receipt and track certificates after entering the country; Second, avoid the "virtual transit" mode, that is, the goods do not actually enter the transit country, and only complete the transfer of cargo title through bill of lading endorsement. This mode will be identified as false entrepot trade, which not only cannot enjoy export-oriented policies, but also may face the charge of logistics fraud. In addition, you need to confirm the free storage period of the transit country in advance to avoid warehouse receipt invalidation caused by port congestion, which affects the attribute judgment.

### Answer 4

From the perspective of international tax structure, two core tax conditions need to be met for entrepot trade to be identified as export-oriented economy: First, the generation of trade profits is directly related to cross-border cargo flow, rather than transferring profits only through domestic related transactions; Second, you have completed cross-border tax filing in accordance with regulations and obtained the *Tax Filing Form for External Payment of Service Trade and Other Projects* issued by the tax authority.

If an enterprise's entrepot trade only completes capital payment and receipt through an offshore account, and does not complete tax filing in the territory, it will be identified by the tax authority as having "offshore tax evasion suspicion", which not only cannot enjoy the tax preferential policies of export-oriented economy, but also trigger BEPS (Base Erosion and Profit Shifting) inspection. In addition, if the related transaction pricing of entrepot trade deviates from the arm's length principle by more than 20%, you need to submit transfer pricing contemporaneous documents, otherwise the taxable income will be adjusted.

### Answer 5

From the perspective of cross-border foreign exchange payment and receipt compliance, the premise for entrepot trade to belong to export-oriented economy is the cross-border compliance of capital flow. Specific requirements are: First, the foreign exchange payment and receipt subject is consistent with the buyer and seller in the trade contract, third-party payment and receipt on behalf is prohibited; Second, the deviation between the receipt amount and the customs declaration value shall not exceed 5%, otherwise it will be listed as a "concerned enterprise" by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, affecting the subsequent cross-border foreign exchange payment and receipt quota.

In addition, you need to complete payment and receipt through CIPS (Cross-border Interbank Payment System) or SWIFT system, and keep complete message vouchers. If you use underground banks for capital transfer, it cannot be identified as export-oriented trade, and you will also face administrative penalties from the foreign exchange authority, and the cross-border foreign exchange payment and receipt permission will be suspended in serious cases.

### Answer 6

From the perspective of legal compliance, entrepot trade needs to have a legally valid cross-border trade contract to be identified as export-oriented economy. The contract must clearly mark the "entrepot trade" clause, and both the buyer and the seller are overseas entities (or one party is an overseas entity).

If the contract only marks "international trade" without clarifying the entrepot attribute, or both parties are domestic related enterprises, it will be identified as domestic related transaction, which does not belong to the category of export-oriented economy. In addition, you need to keep complete cargo title transfer documents, such as bill of lading endorsement documents, cargo title transfer certificate from the transit warehouse.

If you cannot provide legal documents proving the cross-border transfer of cargo title, it cannot be identified as export-oriented entrepot trade even if the cargo flow has exited the territory. If the attribute identification fails due to the lack of contract clauses, you can recover the identification qualification by signing a supplementary *Entrepot Trade Supplementary Agreement* and getting it notarized by a notary public.

### Answer 7

From the perspective of customs on-site inspection, the core basis for entrepot trade to be identified as export-oriented economy is the actual exit trace of the goods. During on-site inspection, the customs will focus on checking whether the seal number of the goods is consistent with that marked on the bill of lading.

If the seal number does not match or there is an unsealing trace, it will be determined that the goods have been exchanged in the territory, and cannot be identified as export-oriented entrepot trade. In addition, you need to provide the goods entry inspection record issued by the customs of the transit country.

If you cannot provide it, the customs will require the enterprise to transport the goods back to the territory for re-inspection, and the losses such as port congestion fee and freight will be borne by the enterprise itself. If the goods are sensitive categories, you also need to provide the import license of the transit country, otherwise it will be identified as illegal entrepot, affecting the identification of export-oriented attribute.

### Answer 8

From the perspective of export tax rebate compliance, if entrepot trade wants to be identified as export-oriented economy, it needs to meet the requirements that the goods actually exit the territory and no processing or value-added operation has been carried out in the territory. If the goods have undergone simple processing (such as repackaging and labeling) in the domestic bonded area, it will be identified as bonded processing trade, which does not belong to the category of export-oriented entrepot trade.

In export tax rebate audit, the "consistency of four flows" will be focused on, that is, the consistency of cargo flow, capital flow, invoice flow and contract flow. If the four flows are inconsistent, it will not only fail to enjoy the tax rebate policy for export-oriented economy, but also trigger tax correspondence inspection, requiring the enterprise to provide trade vouchers for the past 3 years for inspection. In addition, you need to complete the pre-declaration of tax rebate within 30 days after the goods exit the territory, and you will be deemed to have automatically given up the tax rebate qualification if you exceed the time limit.

### Answer 9

From the perspective of supply chain structure, entrepot trade needs to have cross-border supply chain collaboration capability to be identified as export-oriented economy, that is, cargo flow, information flow and capital flow all achieve cross-border closed loop. If an enterprise's entrepot trade only relies on a domestic third-party agent to complete all links, and does not directly connect with overseas buyers and sellers, it will be identified as agency trade, which does not belong to the category of export-oriented economy.

In supply chain planning, you need to build an inventory linkage system for overseas transit warehouses, synchronize cargo entry and exit data in real time, to ensure that there is complete supply chain track support during attribute identification. In addition, you need to choose trade terms reasonably. If you use the EXW (Ex Works) term, you need to additionally provide the logistics certificate of the goods transported from the factory to the exit port, otherwise it will be identified as domestic trade and cannot enjoy the support of export-oriented policies.

In addition, you need to choose trade terms reasonably. If you use the EXW (Ex Works) term, you need to additionally provide the logistics certificate of the goods transported from the factory to the exit port, otherwise it will be identified as domestic trade and cannot enjoy the support of export-oriented policies.",
