I plan to start a dental floss import agency business, but I'm completely clueless about where to begin. For example, what procedures need to be completed, how to find reliable suppliers, and how to handle transportation and customs clearance? It seems so complicated. Could any experienced friends explain in detail? Many thanks!

To become a dental floss import agent, you first need to understand relevant regulations and policies. You'll need to obtain import/export operation rights and complete registration and filing procedures with local commerce departments and customs.
For finding suppliers, you can contact and screen potential partners through international oral care exhibitions or cross-border e-commerce platforms, while verifying their production qualifications and product quality.
For transportation, choose appropriate methods like sea or air freight based on cargo volume and delivery requirements. For customs clearance, prepare complete documents including commercial invoices, bills of lading, packing lists, etc., and accurately declare goods information. Also pay attention to dental floss quality standards, which may vary by country, ensuring imported products meet China's quality requirements.
