At Pacific Container Line Agency, we specialize in Entrepôt Trade services — an essential component of global commerce that positions Sri Lanka as a strategic re-export hub. Leveraging the Port of Colombo’s advantageous location along the busy East-West shipping lane, we facilitate seamless trade flows by allowing goods to be imported, stored, reprocessed, and re-exported without burdening businesses with unnecessary customs duties.

What Is Entrepôt Trade?

Entrepot trade, also known as re-export trade, involves importing goods from one country and exporting them to another without the merchandise entering the domestic market. Sri Lanka’s status as a leading maritime hub makes it the ideal location for entrepôt services, efficiently connecting Asia, the Middle East, and Europe.
