The ports that specialize in receiving goods from ships and then redistributing them to neighboring countries are called "entrepots." These ports act as a middleman between the importing country and the neighboring countries, where the goods are re-exported. They typically have good transportation connections to the neighboring countries, such as road or rail links, to facilitate the movement of goods. Entrepots are also known as "free ports" or "duty-free ports" because they often offer tax breaks and other incentives to encourage trade. They can be found in strategic locations, such as at the crossroads of major shipping lanes or at the junctions of different transportation routes.
