I want to act as an agent for the export of kumis. What exactly should I do?
I'm very interested in the agency export of kumis and want to know the detailed process. I don't know what conditions are required to act as an agent for the export of kumis, such as what are the requirements in terms of qualifications, what procedures need to be handled, what are the key points in communicating with foreign customers, and what special precautions need to be taken during transportation. I hope that friends with experience can share their insights and help me avoid detours.

First of all, you need to have the right to operate import and export, which is the basic qualification for acting as an agent for export. Secondly, you need to understand the relevant regulations and standards for kumis in the target market, such as food safety standards.
In terms of procedures, you need to obtain a food business license, and the product also needs to pass the corresponding quality inspection and obtain a qualified inspection report. When communicating with foreign customers, you need to clearly communicate product details, including ingredients, packaging, specifications, etc., and also clarify key terms such as price, delivery time, and payment method.
In terms of transportation, kumis is a liquid food, so containers and vehicles that meet food transportation requirements should be used, and shockproof and leak-proof measures should be taken. At the same time, pay attention to temperature control during transportation to prevent spoilage. In addition, you can seek the assistance of a professional agency company like Zhongshitong to improve the export efficiency.

Fund preparation is also crucial. Funds are needed for all links from the procurement of kumis to transportation and customs declaration. And you need to plan the cash flow in advance, otherwise, if the funds run out halfway, the export process is likely to be stuck.

Packaging is very important. It should not only meet the domestic export standards but also meet the foreign import requirements. When designing the packaging, cultural differences in different countries should be considered to avoid misunderstandings caused by patterns, words, etc.
