Is the agency process for imported wallpaper complicated? How to operate?
Solved#Import agent#
I've always been interested in the imported wallpaper market and want to be an agent in this area, but I have no idea how to do it exactly. I'd like to ask how to be an agent for imported wallpaper? Do I need to directly contact foreign manufacturers? Do I need to handle special qualifications? And how should I deal with aspects like purchase channels and logistics and transportation? I hope friends with experience can share the detailed operation process and precautions. Thank you!
