Entrepôt Trade

Entrepôt trade in Global Commerce Policy

In this regard, a definition of this issue is as follows: shipping goods through a port in one economy for re-export to another economy as, for example, is the case for the export of some Indonesian or Malaysian products through Singapore, or China and Hong Kong. Goods entering and leaving as entrepôt trade are not subject to tariffs. The entries on trade policy are here. Apparent discrepancies in bilateral trade statistics may arise because goods may be recorded first as entering the intermediate country and then as re- exports to the final destination without any indication of the true country of origin. See also rules of origin.[1]
