# What Core Nodes in the Whole Process of Entrepôt Trade Customs Declaration Need Key Control?

## Question

 I am a foreign trade company based in Shanghai, mainly focusing on Southeast Asian entrepôt business. Last month, a shipment of natural rubber products sent from Thailand to the EU was detained at the port for 3 days due to inconsistent documents during entrepôt customs declaration, incurring nearly 10,000 RMB in port storage and container detention charges. Our previous cooperative agent did not inform us of the special document requirements of the transit port in advance, which caused heavy losses to our company. Now we have another shipment of rubber products worth 2 million RMB that will be transited via Port Klang, Malaysia to Germany. I am so anxious that I cannot sleep, fearing that mistakes will happen again. I want to know how to operate the full process of entrepôt trade customs declaration from early document review to later abnormal handling, including which documents need key review, how to connect core nodes, how to handle emergencies when encountering valuation disputes or customs detention, and whether there is a specific compliance implementation plan to avoid such risks? 

## Answers
                            
### Answer 1 — Best Answer

First of all，you need to complete detailed review of pre-process documents，focus on checking the consistency of **the certificate of origin of transit goods**，third-party inspection and quarantine certificate，entrepôt trade contract and bill of lading. In particular，you must ensure that the "transshipment clause" on the bill of lading clearly marks that the goods are only reloaded at the transit port and do not enter the territory of the transit country，so as to avoid being classified as general trade import. At the same time，confirm the document format requirements with the transit port customs in advance. For example，Port Klang，Malaysia requires a transit letter of guarantee to avoid declaration rejection due to inconsistent documents.

For connection of core nodes，you need to coordinate logistics and customs declaration teams synchronously，complete pre-declaration 72 hours before cargo arrival，ensure that manifest information is 100% consistent with the customs declaration form，arrange a dedicated person to follow up the document exchange at the transit port，check the integrity of the container seal，prevent wrong pick-up or swapping of goods. In addition，confirm the free storage period of the transit port in advance，the free storage period for general cargo at Port Klang is 5 days，you need to complete customs declaration and transshipment within this period to avoid extra costs.

You need to develop exclusive contingency plans for abnormal situations: if you encounter customs valuation disputes，prepare the goods' purchase invoices，payment vouchers and entrepôt profit calculation statements in advance to prove the authenticity of the transaction，if customs detention occurs，submit the full set of supporting documents for entrepôt trade immediately，and when necessary，ask a professional agency to coordinate the communication between the transit port customs broker and customs，so as to shorten the detention time.

For the final compliance implementation stage，you need to keep all documents for at least 3 years，including customs declaration forms，bills of lading，contracts，payment vouchers，etc。for future customs inspection，at the same time，regularly review the customs declaration process，optimize document review standards，to ensure that every shipment of transit goods meets the compliance requirements of the transit country and the destination country.

### Answer 2

Valuation dispute is a common problem in entrepôt trade customs declaration, many enterprises are questioned by customs about price authenticity because they fail to provide complete transaction chain vouchers. At this time, you should note that the profit calculation of entrepôt trade must be reasonable, and cannot deviate from the conventional industry level. At the same time, you need to provide transit port storage cost vouchers, transshipment operation invoices, etc., to prove the cost expenditure of the transit link.

If customs requires deletion and re-declaration, you must complete it within the specified time limit, and ensure that the re-declared information is completely consistent with the original documents, to avoid hidden compliance risks. In addition, under the integrated customs clearance mode, entrepôt customs declaration needs to synchronize data with the departure port, transit port and destination port customs in advance, ensure real-time sharing of manifest information, and reduce declaration rejection caused by data deviation.

### Answer 3

The logistics route of entrepôt trade directly affects customs declaration efficiency, it is recommended to prioritize transit ports with mature entrepôt qualifications, such as Singapore, Hong Kong, Port Klang Malaysia, etc. These ports have special green channels for entrepôt customs declaration, with longer free storage periods, which can effectively reduce the risk of port detention. You should arrange document exchange immediately after cargo arrival, check the integrity of the container seal at the same time.

If the seal is found damaged, take photos for evidence immediately and notify the freight forwarder and customs, to avoid being identified as goods swapping. In addition, when encountering container rolling, adjust the customs declaration time in time to avoid customs declaration form invalidation caused by delayed cargo arrival, you can also apply for reserved space to ensure smooth transit of the cargo.

### Answer 4

Entrepôt trade customs declaration needs to pay attention to tax compliance, especially the application of VAT deferral policy. Some transit countries such as Malaysia allow VAT deferral for transit goods, enterprises need to apply for qualification from the local tax department in advance, provide the full set of entrepôt trade contracts and payment vouchers to prove that the goods do not enter the territory of the transit country for consumption.

In addition, you need to avoid unreasonable pricing for cross-border related party transactions. If entrepôt trade is carried out between parent company and subsidiary, the pricing must comply with the arm's length principle, otherwise it may be identified as profit transfer by tax authorities and trigger tax audit. At the same time, you need to keep tax declaration vouchers and relevant documents for future tax verification.

### Answer 5

Payment and collection compliance for entrepôt trade is an important support for customs declaration, you need to ensure that the collected amount is consistent with the amount on the entrepôt trade contract, avoid capital backflow or excessive collection. When using SWIFT messages, clearly mark "Collection/Payment under Entrepôt Trade" in the remark, and provide documents such as bill of lading and contract of the entrepôt trade as supporting evidence.

If you use CIPS for RMB cross-border payment, confirm the clearing requirements of the transit country bank in advance to ensure smooth capital arrival. In addition, you need to standardize the management of offshore accounts, avoid account freezing caused by abnormal flow, which affects the capital settlement of entrepôt trade.

### Answer 6

Entrepôt trade customs declaration needs to be supported by complete legal documents, the entrepôt trade contract should clearly stipulate the clause that "the goods are only transshipped at the transit port and do not enter the territory of the transit country", and add a force majeure clause to avoid breach disputes caused by policy changes of the transit port customs.

If you use letter of credit for settlement, avoid soft clauses, such as requiring an import license from the transit country, which will lead to transit goods being identified as general trade import. In addition, you need to strictly control the cargo title, the bill of lading endorsement must be clearly only for transit transshipment, to prevent the cargo from being illegally picked up by third parties.

### Answer 7

If the entrepôt trade cargo encounters on-site inspection by customs, you need to prepare the full set of entrepôt trade documents in advance, including certificate of origin, entrepôt contract, bill of lading, etc., clearly explain the transit nature of the cargo to customs. When devanning for inspection, cooperate with customs officers to count the cargo, ensure that the name, quantity and specification of the cargo are consistent with those on the customs declaration form.

If cargo packaging damage is found, provide a third-party inspection certificate to prove that the cargo is not damaged, avoid being identified as unqualified cargo. When going through machine inspection, inform the freight forwarder of the cargo nature in advance, avoid being judged as contraband due to abnormal machine inspection image, you can apply for manual re-inspection if necessary to shorten the inspection time.

### Answer 8

In entrepôt trade customs declaration, cargo packaging must meet the requirements of the transit port and the destination country. Especially for dangerous goods, you need to prepare a UN-standard MSDS report in advance, use the specified dangerous goods packaging, and mark the correct dangerous goods label, UN number and other information on the packaging. Ordinary goods need to be well protected against moisture and reinforced, avoid damage during transit transshipment.

If the cargo is inspected by customs due to packaging problems, it may cause customs declaration delay and incur port detention fees. In addition, you need to ensure that the shipping mark on the packaging is consistent with the information on the customs declaration form, avoid customs questioning the authenticity of the cargo due to inconsistent shipping marks.

### Answer 9

Entrepôt trade is not within the scope of export tax rebate, enterprises should avoid wrong declaration of export tax rebate, otherwise it will trigger tax correspondence inspection and affect the enterprise's tax rebate credit. You need to keep all entrepôt trade documents, including customs declaration forms, bills of lading, payment vouchers, entrepôt contracts, etc., to prove that the goods are not actually exported to China, but directly transited to the destination country.

If an enterprise conducts both general trade and entrepôt trade at the same time, you need to separate the accounting of the two types of businesses to avoid capital mixing, which leads to disputes during tax authority inspection. In addition, you need to regularly audit the documents of entrepôt trade to ensure the authenticity and completeness of the documents.

### Answer 10

Entrepôt trade customs declaration needs to be optimized in combination with supply chain planning. When selecting a transit port, comprehensively consider logistics cost, customs declaration efficiency and compliance risk. For example, Port Klang Malaysia is preferred for Southeast Asia transit, and Rotterdam Port the Netherlands is preferred for Europe transit.

You need to establish an inventory linkage mechanism, adjust customs declaration time according to the transportation time of transit goods, avoid declaring only after the cargo arrives at the port, which triggers port detention risk. In addition, through CIF/FOB trade term conversion, you can reasonably allocate customs declaration responsibilities, reduce your own compliance risk, and regularly evaluate the cost-benefit ratio of entrepôt trade, optimize the supply chain structure, and improve the overall operating efficiency.
