Re-export trade

We have received a letter of credit that explicitly stipulates "no transshipment allowed", but there are no direct shipping routes from our port of departure to the destination port, so transshipment is necessary. What should we do now? What consequences will we face if we violate the rules?

We have a batch of machinery equipment to be exported to Jebel Ali Port in Dubai and then transported to Ethiopia. The client has specified the DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) clause, requiring us to handle the entire logistics process. Now we are looking for a reliable Dubai forwarding agent, but we are concerned about customs clearance delays, cost traps, or agents disappearing without a trace. How can we screen for trustworthy agents? What regulatory and commercial risks should we pay particular attention to?

We are about to export a batch of tiles to Pakistan recently, but the client suddenly mentioned the anti-dumping duty, saying the tax rate is very high. I checked the online information, but it's very confusing. I would like to ask: 1) What is the specific anti-dumping duty rate on Chinese tiles in Pakistan? 2) Is this duty collected directly by the customs? 3) Do we need to include this cost in our quotation in advance? 4) How can we communicate this sensitive issue with the client without damaging the relationship?

Facing high tariff barriers amid China-US trade frictions and the dilemma of customs detention and port congestion in direct trade，many small and medium-sized foreign trade enterprises have turned to Hong Kong re-export trade but only have a vague understanding of its concept and compliance operations. By clarifying industry misconceptions，isolating physical risks and formulating stop-loss solutions，enterprises can effectively avoid excessive tariff costs，reduce customs detention risks，ensure smooth delivery of cross-border trade，and solve practical trade problems for enterprises.。
