To become an import perfume decanting agent, the first step is to find reliable suppliers. You can attend industry trade shows—experienced supply chain platforms like Zhongshitong often participate, allowing direct communication. You can also search for high-quality suppliers online, but be cautious about verification. Next, regarding formalities, you’ll need a business license with cosmetics sales in the scope of business. If importing is involved, you’ll also need import/export rights and customs registration. For marketing, leverage social media platforms like Xiaohongshu and Douyin to share perfume knowledge and usage experiences to attract customers. Collaborate with beauty influencers for promotion, or organize joint promotions in beauty salons or nail studios. In short, every step requires careful planning and execution.
