It must be noted that there are risks in any mode of trade, but the risks of entrepot trade are not higher than those of ordinary modes of trade.
The main risks of transit logistics in the third country are as follows:
1. Risk of losing control of the goods;
Under normal circumstances, due to the lack of individual enterprise credit, export enterprises can not control the goods, or the goods lost. Therefore, it is very important to choose a transit agent with high credibility and large scale. [It is recommended to cooperate with a company with large scale and many years of experience in transit trade operation. Before shipment, our company will sign a transit transportation agreement with the customer and issue a full bill of lading to the customer, so as to completely avoid the risk of losing the right of goods to the customer]
2. Risk of customs clearance failure at the port of destination;
The reasons why the goods cannot be cleared include the authenticity of the documents and the customs inspection at the port of destination. On the market, some companies claiming to be able to do transshipment will provide you with false documents because they cannot produce authentic documents, which will lead to problems in customs clearance at the port of destination, thus increasing the risk for foreign trade enterprises doing transshipment. [The current transit trade market is quite chaotic, the main reason is that many freight forwarders without the strength of transit issue false documents of the transit country land certificate, which will be found out and lead to high fines when subjected to the counter-inspection by the port of destination. We suggest to cooperate with transit logistics suppliers who can issue completely authentic and reliable documents in the transit country and guarantee customs clearance at the port of destination. As long as the documents are authentic and valid, there will be no problem in customs clearance at the port of destination.
3. Policy risks
The customs of the importing country initiates an investigation into the transit transportation, which will monitor the import volume of the corresponding product imported from the third country, and may increase the inspection of the product from the third country, resulting in associated risks. [The core of transit trade services lies in the transit operation of the third country, and the most important thing in the transit operation of the third country is to ensure the authenticity and reliability of relevant documents. Only in this way can risks brought by inspection be effectively avoided.]
As mentioned above, when deciding to do transshipment trade, we must carefully select a good transshipment logistics service provider. Must choose large scale, have many years of entrepot trade operation experience, and can guarantee the authenticity of the third country documents, and can cooperate with the counterinvestigation of the company, only in this way to reduce the risk of entrepot trade to a minimum! Those only a few people of the company, also to do entrepot, its risk and service quality can be imagined.
