There are many aspects to note when it comes to agency import products. Firstly, one should clarify one's own qualifications, such as the right to engage in import and export operations, relevant product import licenses, etc. Lack of qualifications may lead to unsuccessful imports. Secondly, sign a detailed agency contract with the entrusting party to clarify the rights and obligations of both parties, including the quality of the goods, the delivery period, the calculation and payment method of the agency fee, etc. Thirdly, understand the product information, such as the commodity code, so as to accurately declare tariffs and regulatory conditions. In the transportation link, determine the transportation mode and insurance responsibility to ensure the safety of goods transportation. When it comes to customs clearance, prepare complete and accurate documents, including invoices, packing lists, bills of lading, etc., to avoid delaying customs clearance due to document problems. Finally, do a good job in after-sales service to handle possible product quality and other problems.
In short, every step cannot be ignored to ensure a smooth import process.

Pay attention to the market research of the products, analyze the demand and competition situation of the products in the domestic market, etc. Otherwise, if you can't sell the imported products, you will suffer a big loss. In addition, pay attention to the exchange rate fluctuations. Import products involve foreign currency settlement, and the change of exchange rate may affect the cost and profit.
