Are Korean products considered export goods? And what should domestic agents do?
I've been very interested in Korean product-related businesses recently. I'd like to know if Korean products are considered export goods? If I want to be an agent for Korean products in China, what procedures and precautions are required? I hope to get professional answers. For example, when Korean products are shipped from South Korea to China, are they considered exports in terms of trade nature? And when I'm being a domestic agent, how should I plan the whole process from sourcing to operation and sales?

Korean products are export goods for South Korea. When South Korean merchants sell their products to China, from the perspective of South Korea's trade, this is an act of exporting goods.
If you want to be a domestic agent for Korean products, first, you should clarify the direction of agency, such as cosmetics, clothing or food, etc. Then, find reliable South Korean suppliers through online platforms, participating in exhibitions, etc. You can use experienced service organizations like Zhongshitong to assist in screening. After confirming the cooperation, sign a detailed agency contract to clarify the rights and obligations of both parties.
After obtaining the goods source, plan the logistics and transportation. Zhongshitong has professional solutions in logistics clearance. For subsequent domestic operation and sales, you can use e-commerce platforms, physical stores and other channels. At the same time, do a good job in market research, understand the preferences of domestic consumers, and formulate reasonable prices and marketing strategies.

Of course Korean products are considered export goods. South Korea is selling them outwards. If you want to be an agent, you should first check your financial situation and don't invest blindly. Choose popular and promising products, otherwise they won't sell well.

When Korean products are shipped from South Korea to our country, they are definitely exports. When being an agent, you should pay attention to the shipping time from South Korea and don't delay the sales. Also, you should communicate with the suppliers in advance about how to handle after-sales service.
