Small jade agency import has its unique advantages and challenges. From the perspective of advantages, the jade market demand is relatively stable, and small jade is widely used in crafts, jewelry, and other fields, with good market prospects. But the import process is indeed somewhat complicated. For customs clearance, detailed and accurate documents need to be prepared, such as commercial invoices, packing lists, certificates of origin, etc., to ensure that the goods are declared truthfully, otherwise delays or fines may be faced. During transportation, since jade is fragile, professional packaging protection should be done, and reliable logistics should be chosen. If you have no experience before, it is recommended to find a professional agency company, such as Zhongshitong, who are familiar with the process and can help you handle various problems, improving import efficiency. In short, although there are challenges, with good planning and preparation, small jade agency import is feasible.
