# What Key Compliance and Risk Nodes Should Be Focused on in End-to-End Entrepot Trade Audit?

## Question

 I am the head of a foreign trade enterprise mainly engaged in hardware products. I just completed an entrepot order to the United States last month. Due to inconsistent circulation logic between the certificate of origin and the bill of lading, the goods were detained at the transit port for 7 days. I not only paid more than 20,000 in demurrage fees to the customer, but also almost lost this long-term key client. I have recently received 3 more entrepot orders on the same route, with a total order value exceeding 1 million, and I am very anxious now, fearing that mistakes will happen again. I would like to ask, what details should we start with for entrepot trade audit? For example, how to check documents to avoid forgeries, how to link the title transfer node with audit, how to deal with emergencies when abnormalities are found during audit, and how to ensure the whole process is fully compliant to avoid goods being detained or confiscated? 

## Answers
                            
### Answer 1 — Best Answer

First of all，for pre-document audit details，we need to focus on verifying the authenticity of **Certificate of Origin，Transit Bill of Lading，and Country of Origin Proof**: You can verify the certificate of origin number through the official customs system of the transit country，compare whether the shipper and consignee information on the bill of lading matches the title transfer agreement，and confirm that the goods description is completely consistent with the customs declaration and packing list，so as to avoid the basic error of "inconsistency between goods and documents".

In terms of connection of core nodes，it is necessary to control the synchronization of title transfer and foreign exchange payment and collection，and ensure **the consistency of "document flow，goods flow and capital flow"**: The title transfer documents of entrepot trade (such as bill of lading endorsement) must correspond one-to-one with the SWIFT message information of foreign exchange payment and collection，so as to avoid triggering compliance warnings from the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE) due to the separation of capital and title.

In terms of abnormal contingency plans，an agreement should be reached with the transit port agent in advance: if any defects in documents are found during the audit，the "express channel for document amendment" will be launched immediately，and document correction will be completed within 48 hours，if temporary customs inspection is encountered，the complete agreement chain of title transfer shall be provided simultaneously as supporting evidence to avoid the goods being temporarily detained.

In the final compliance implementation stage，all approved documents shall be archived and retained for at least 5 years，and compliance filing of entrepot trade shall be submitted to SAFE simultaneously，so as to form a complete audit closed loop and completely eliminate the risk of port detention and customs detention.

### Answer 2

Customs declaration audit of entrepot trade should focus on the closed-loop of valuation logic: it is necessary to check the price difference between the import customs declaration and export customs declaration of the transit country, to ensure that the value-added space of entrepot trade conforms to the conventional level of the hardware products industry (usually 8%-15%), so as to avoid triggering customs valuation doubts due to price deviation. In case of customs valuation dispute, a full set of transaction documents of entrepot trade, including purchase contract, sales contract, logistics cost invoice, etc., shall be provided immediately to prove the rationality of the price.

At the same time, it is necessary to ensure that the "trade mode" column of the customs declaration for entrepot trade is accurately filled in as "entrepot trade", and avoid mistakenly filling in "general trade" or "transit goods", which will cause subsequent regulatory risks. In addition, attention shall be paid to the consistency of the HS code of the entrepot goods in the transit country and the destination country, so as to avoid customs detention or port detention caused by code differences.

### Answer 3

The logistics link in entrepot trade audit needs to focus on title control and route rationality: it is necessary to check whether the selection of transit port meets the storage requirements of hardware products, give priority to transit ports with moisture-proof and rust-proof storage conditions, and confirm whether the free storage period covers the whole cycle of entrepot operation (usually 7-10 days), so as to avoid additional container detention charges. At the same time, it is necessary to check whether the endorsement of the bill of lading is compliant: the order bill of lading must be correctly endorsed by the shipper to the transit agent, and then endorsed by the transit agent to the consignee at the destination port.

Each step of endorsement must be retained with high-definition scanned copies to ensure the traceability of title transfer. In addition, it is necessary to confirm the full traceability of the logistics route, require the logistics provider to update the cargo location daily, and avoid the title risk caused by the cargo "losing contact" at the transit port.

### Answer 4

The tax link in entrepot trade audit needs to focus on cross-border tax compliance: it is necessary to check whether the tax treatment of entrepot trade complies with the tax policies of the transit country and the United States. For entrepot trade involving VAT deferral, it is necessary to confirm that VAT deferral filing has been completed in the transit country to avoid tax late payment fine (usually 0.05% per day) caused by failure to file.

For cross-border related party transactions, it is necessary to ensure that the pricing of entrepot trade complies with the arm's length principle, so as to avoid triggering BEPS (Base Erosion and Profit Shifting) investigation due to too low or too high pricing. In addition, it is necessary to check the completeness of tax documents, including tax payment certificates and VAT declarations of the transit country, so as to ensure that all tax treatments are supported by documents and avoid subsequent tax audit risks.

### Answer 5

The foreign exchange payment and collection link in entrepot trade audit needs to focus on the compliance of capital flow: it is necessary to check the transaction remark in SWIFT message or CIPS payment voucher, ensure it is accurately marked as "payment for hardware products in entrepot trade", so as to avoid triggering capital monitoring warning of SAFE due to vague remark. At the same time, it is necessary to confirm that the amount difference between collection and payment conforms to the conventional profit level of the industry, and avoid the abnormal situation of "revenue and expenditure inversion".

In addition, it is necessary to check whether the use of offshore accounts is compliant. If offshore accounts are used for payment and collection, it is necessary to ensure that the account funds are only used for transactions related to entrepot trade, and avoid mixing with other unrelated funds. If SAFE requires supporting materials for payment and collection, the full set of transaction documents including contracts, bills of lading, invoices, etc. shall be submitted within 3 working days.

### Answer 6

The legal link in entrepot trade audit needs to focus on title transfer and contract terms: it is necessary to check the title transfer clause in the entrepot trade contract, clearly stipulate that the title is transferred to the destination port consignee immediately after the bill of lading endorsement at the transit port, so as to avoid title disputes caused by vague clauses.

At the same time, it is necessary to check the authenticity and validity of the Letter of Indemnity (LOI) provided by the transit agent, ensure that the LOI covers the risks of warehousing, transportation and title transfer of the goods at the transit port, and the compensation amount is not less than 110% of the total value of the goods. In addition, it is necessary to check the force majeure clause in the contract, clearly stipulate the division of responsibility for port detention caused by policy changes of the transit port or natural disasters, so as to avoid legal disputes caused by force majeure.

### Answer 7

Pre-plans shall be made in advance for the on-site inspection link in entrepot trade audit: it is necessary to check whether the seal number of the goods is consistent with the seal information on the bill of lading, you can check the authenticity of the seal through the seal photo provided by the transit port agent, to avoid the seal being swapped. If the customs of the transit port conducts unpacking inspection, you need to prepare the full set of documents such as packing list, certificate of origin, entrepot trade contract in advance, arrange an inspection companion familiar with local customs rules to be present, to ensure smooth inspection process.

At the same time, it is necessary to check whether the packaging of the goods meets the inspection requirements of the transit port, the shipping mark of hardware products must be completely consistent with the shipping mark on the bill of lading and packing list, so as to avoid triggering further inspection due to inconsistent shipping marks. If any defects are found in the goods during inspection, communicate with the shipper immediately and complete rectification within the specified time.

### Answer 8

The tax refund link in entrepot trade audit needs to focus on the "consistency of four flows": it is necessary to confirm that the "document flow, goods flow, capital flow and contract flow" of entrepot trade are completely consistent, so as to avoid triggering tax correspondence inspection due to inconsistent four flows. At the same time, it is necessary to check the document filing of entrepot trade, ensure that all documents including purchase contract, sales contract, bill of lading, customs declaration, etc. are archived and retained for no less than 5 years.

It should be noted that entrepot trade is not within the scope of export tax refund, avoid mistakenly declaring entrepot goods for export tax refund, which will lead to tax penalty (usually 1-3 times of the applicable tax refund amount). If you receive a tax correspondence inspection notice, you need to submit the full set of supporting materials within 15 working days and cooperate with the tax authority's inspection.

### Answer 9

The supply chain link in entrepot trade audit needs to focus on the rationality of cost and structure: it is necessary to check the cost actuarial model of entrepot trade, including logistics cost, storage cost, transit port miscellaneous fees, etc., ensure that the total cost is controlled within 10%-15% of the total value of the goods, so as to avoid affecting profit margin due to excessive cost. At the same time, it is necessary to check whether the conversion of trade terms is compliant.

Entrepot trade usually adopts FOB or CIF terms, it is necessary to confirm that the agreement of trade terms is consistent with the title transfer node, so as to avoid supply chain risks caused by inconsistent terms. In addition, it is necessary to check the inventory linkage strategy, ensure that the inventory level of entrepot goods matches the order demand, so as to avoid overstock or out of stock. If the entrepot trade involves multiple transit ports, it is necessary to check the connection efficiency of transit ports, ensure that the residence time of goods at the transit port does not exceed 7 days, so as to reduce logistics costs and risks.
