It is possible to import food through an agent. When finding an agent to import food, first of all, the agent company should have relevant qualifications, such as a food business license, etc. In terms of the process, in the early stage, it is necessary to confirm the qualifications of foreign suppliers and the food access situation, sign contracts with suppliers, and ask them to prepare necessary documents such as certificates of origin and health certificates. When Zhongshitong acts as an agent to import, it will arrange food transportation. After the goods arrive at the port, customs declaration and inspection procedures will be handled. Only after the customs inspection and sampling inspection are qualified can the goods be released for pickup.
In terms of precautions, the food quality should be strictly controlled because food safety is of crucial importance. At the same time, clearly understand all kinds of taxes and fees to avoid subsequent costs exceeding expectations. Also, pay attention to food labels, which must meet the requirements of relevant laws and regulations on food labels in our country, otherwise the products may not be able to be put on the shelves for sale.
