# Is Entrepot Trade Within the Scope of Foreign Trade? What Are the Core Differences Between the Two in Terms of Supervision Rules?

## Question

 I am engaged in the export of hardware products. Last week, I arranged a shipment of goods to be transited via Southeast Asia to the EU. My freight forwarder suddenly informed me that the customs declaration, foreign exchange receipt and payment processes for entrepot trade are completely different from those for ordinary foreign trade, and also said that operating in accordance with ordinary foreign trade rules will lead to the risk of customs detention. I always thought that entrepot trade is a type of foreign trade. I have never been exposed to this field before, and now the goods are already at the transit port. I am extremely flustered, worried that my misunderstanding of the concept will lead to port detention of the goods, high container detention fees, and even affect subsequent cooperation with EU customers. I would like to ask whether entrepot trade counts as foreign trade after all? What are the core differences between it and ordinary foreign trade? What can I do to remedy the situation now to avoid risks? 

## Answers
                            
### Answer 1 — Best Answer

First of all，it should be clarified that entrepot trade is a special form of foreign trade，but there are core differences in supervision rules between it and ordinary foreign trade，which is also the most common misconception in the industry. If entrepot trade is mistakenly operated in accordance with ordinary foreign trade rules，it will trigger abnormal logic verification in the customs system，directly leading to customs detention at the transit port. Subsequent chain negative reactions such as high container detention fees and claims from customers at the port of destination will also occur，and in serious cases，you will be included in the customs key supervision list.

In view of the current situation that the goods are at the transit port，**you should immediately require the freight forwarder to suspend the customs clearance operation at the transit port**，which is a key measure to physically isolate risks. Then，you need to urgently supplement special documents for entrepot trade: including the combined transport bill of lading issued by the logistics service provider in the transit country，neutral certificate of origin (no indication of Chinese origin)，and prepare the entrepot agreement of upstream and downstream customers and cargo storage certificate at the same time，to prove that the goods have not entered the territory of the transit country and are only loaded and unloaded for transit.

Exclusive loss mitigation tips: Collect and pay the profit of the entrepot link separately through the CIPS RMB cross-border payment system，to avoid mixing with the foreign exchange receipt and payment funds of ordinary foreign trade，simultaneously submit a statement on the authenticity of the entrepot trade to the customs of the transit port，and apply for re-declaration under the supervision code for "entrepot goods" (0130)，to ensure compliant implementation.

### Answer 2

The core differences of entrepot trade in the customs declaration link are reflected in the supervision code and declaration type. Ordinary foreign trade is declared under the supervision method of direct import and export, while entrepot trade needs to be declared under the supervision code for "entrepot goods" (customs supervision code 0130). If you mistakenly declare in accordance with ordinary foreign trade rules, the customs system will trigger abnormal logic verification, directly leading to the suspension of the customs declaration form and port detention of the goods.

At this time, you need to immediately submit an application for deleting the original declaration form and re-declaring, and at the same time supplement the cargo storage certificate issued by the logistics service provider in the transit country and the entrepot agreement of upstream and downstream customers, to prove that the goods have not entered the territory of the transit country and are only loaded and unloaded for transit. In addition, it should be noted that the Chinese origin information shall not be reflected on the customs declaration form for entrepot trade, to avoid triggering anti-dumping investigations in the importing country.

### Answer 3

The logistics path of entrepot trade is essentially different from that of ordinary foreign trade. Ordinary foreign trade adopts direct flight or single transit, and the cargo ownership is directly transferred between the buyer and the seller, while entrepot trade requires temporary endorsement and transfer of cargo ownership at the transit port.

If operated in accordance with ordinary foreign trade rules, the freight forwarder at the transit port cannot issue the special "combined transport bill of lading" for entrepot trade, which will lead to failure of customs clearance at the port of destination. At this time, you need to immediately coordinate with the logistics service provider at the transit port to replace the original straight bill of lading with a combined transport bill of lading, and at the same time modify the shipper on the bill of lading to a third-party company in the transit country, and keep the consignee as the final importer.

In addition, you need to confirm the free storage period at the transit port in advance. If the risk of port detention has appeared, you can apply to transfer the goods to the bonded warehouse at the transit port to extend the free storage period and reduce the loss of container detention fees.

### Answer 4

The tax treatment of entrepot trade is significantly different from that of ordinary foreign trade. Ordinary foreign trade can enjoy the export tax rebate policy, while entrepot trade cannot apply for export tax rebate because the goods do not actually enter or leave the Chinese customs territory, and value-added tax shall be declared and paid in accordance with "trade in services". If the income from entrepot trade is mistakenly declared in accordance with the income from ordinary foreign trade, it will trigger an abnormal tax rebate warning in the tax system, leading to tax correspondence investigation, and even be identified as tax evasion.

At this time, you need to immediately submit the authenticity proof of entrepot trade to the tax authority, including logistics track, foreign exchange receipt and payment vouchers, and upstream and downstream contracts, and at the same time adjust the tax declaration, separate the entrepot income from the export income, and declare the value-added tax for trade in services separately. In addition, you can set up an overseas transit company to retain profits, so as to reasonably reduce the overall tax cost.

### Answer 5

The compliance requirements for foreign exchange receipt and payment of entrepot trade are different from those of ordinary foreign trade. Ordinary foreign trade shall follow the principle of "whoever exports collects the foreign exchange", while entrepot trade shall adopt the mode of "separate lines for revenue and expenditure", that is, the entrepot income and the payment for goods to upstream suppliers shall be accounted separately, and shall not be mixed with the foreign exchange receipt and payment funds of ordinary foreign trade.

If you mistakenly handle foreign exchange receipt and payment in accordance with ordinary foreign trade rules, the banking system will trigger abnormal foreign exchange supervision, leading to freezing of funds, and even being listed as a key foreign exchange supervision target. At this time, you need to immediately submit a full set of documents for entrepot trade to the bank, including the transit bill of lading, upstream and downstream contracts, and logistics invoices, to prove the consistency of capital flow and cargo flow. At the same time, it is recommended to handle foreign exchange receipt and payment for entrepot trade through the CIPS RMB cross-border payment system, which can improve the efficiency of capital settlement and reduce exchange rate risks.

### Answer 6

The contract terms of entrepot trade are quite different from those of ordinary foreign trade. Contracts for ordinary foreign trade only involve the buyer and the seller, while tripartite contracts need to be signed for entrepot trade to clarify the rights and obligations of the upstream supplier, the transit party and the downstream buyer. If a bilateral contract is signed in accordance with ordinary foreign trade rules, it will lead to unclear transfer of cargo ownership, and the responsible subject cannot be defined once the goods are lost or damaged.

At this time, you need to immediately supplement and sign a tripartite supplementary agreement with the transit party, clarifying the ownership of the goods at the transit port, loading and unloading responsibilities, the party bearing the port detention fees and other clauses. In addition, a "exclusive force majeure clause for entrepot trade" shall be added to the contract to avoid the risk of breach of contract caused by policy changes at the transit port.

### Answer 7

The inspection requirements for entrepot trade at the transit port are different from those for ordinary foreign trade. The inspection focus of ordinary foreign trade is the name, quantity and specification of the goods, while the inspection focus of entrepot trade is the origin mark and packaging mark of the goods, to avoid Chinese origin information. If the goods are packaged in accordance with ordinary foreign trade rules, the customs at the transit port will determine that the goods are directly exported from China, trigger the authenticity verification of entrepot trade, and lead to detention of the goods.

At this time, you need to immediately coordinate with the on-site agent at the transit port to replace the packaging of the goods, remove all Chinese origin marks, and re-paste the neutral packaging marks of the transit country. At the same time, you need to submit a copy of the certificate of origin to the customs at the transit port to prove that the goods are of origin in the transit country (or neutral origin).

### Answer 8

Since the goods of entrepot trade do not actually leave the country, they do not meet the core conditions for export tax rebate. If the income from entrepot trade is mistakenly included in the scope of export tax rebate declaration, it will lead to abnormal tax rebate data and trigger correspondence investigation by the tax authority. At this time, you need to immediately cancel the declared tax rebate data, adjust the export income details, and list the income from entrepot trade separately.

At the same time, you need to sort out the full set of documents for entrepot trade, including logistics track, foreign exchange receipt and payment vouchers, and upstream and downstream contracts, and submit them to the tax authority for authenticity verification. In addition, a separate document ledger for entrepot trade shall be established, which shall be managed separately from the tax rebate documents for ordinary foreign trade, to avoid declaration confusion in the future.

### Answer 9

The supply chain structure of entrepot trade is significantly different from that of ordinary foreign trade. Ordinary foreign trade has a linear supply chain, while entrepot trade has a network supply chain, which needs to integrate the resources of upstream suppliers, transit service providers and downstream buyers. If operated in accordance with the supply chain logic of ordinary foreign trade, it will lead to poor connection of transit nodes, resulting in port detention of goods, delayed delivery and other problems.

At this time, you need to immediately adjust the supply chain nodes, include the transit service provider into the core supplier management system, and establish a real-time logistics track tracking mechanism to ensure seamless connection of loading and unloading, bill replacement and warehousing links at the transit port. In addition, you can monitor the cargo flow, capital flow and document flow of entrepot trade in real time through a digital supply chain system, so as to predict abnormal risks in advance.
