If you want to be an import agent for baby diapers, here are some basic steps.
First, in terms of procedures, you need to register a company with relevant import and export qualifications. For example, you should register with the industrial and commercial department to obtain a business license, and also go to the customs to handle the procedures such as filing and registration to ensure the legal conduct of import and export business.
Then finding suppliers is crucial. You can get to know some high-quality overseas suppliers by participating in various international baby and mother products exhibitions, or you can use cross-border e-commerce platforms to screen. You should examine their production qualifications, product quality, reputation, etc. For example, check whether they have relevant international certifications.
Regarding the market prospect, currently, with the relaxation of the two-child and three-child policies and the increasing demand for the quality of baby care, the market demand for baby diapers is still considerable. Especially high-quality imported baby diapers are very popular. But the competition is not small either. You need to do a good job in market research, understand the preferences of local consumers and the situation of competing brands, so that you can better carry out the agency business.
