There are various grading methods for import product agents. Commonly, there is grading by region, such as being divided into provincial agents, municipal agents, county-level agents, etc. Provincial agents have a wide coverage range, great authority, but also heavy responsibilities. Usually, they are required to have a relatively high quantity of goods taken and marketing promotion ability. The coverage ranges of municipal and county-level agents decrease in turn, and the requirements are also relatively reduced.
Grading by the quantity of goods taken is also quite common. For example, first-level agents need to reach a relatively high quantity of goods taken, can get a lower discount, and enjoy rights and interests such as priority in goods supply; second-level agents have a slightly lower requirement for the quantity of goods taken, and the discount and rights and interests are second to those of first-level agents.
There is also grading by sales volume, where the level is divided according to the sales volume completed within a certain period. The higher the sales volume, the higher the level, and more preferential policies and support are enjoyed. In addition, some will also be graded by combining comprehensive factors such as marketing promotion ability and channel resources.

Some import product agents will grade by product line. For example, for a certain brand of imported cosmetics, different product lines such as facial skin care and body care will set up different levels of agents respectively. The agent responsible for the facial skin care product line may have more resources and greater authority in this aspect.

Some import product agents grade by service ability. If an agent can provide additional services such as warehousing and logistics distribution, it can obtain a higher level. For example, some large agents can efficiently distribute goods to meet the needs of end customers, so they have a high level.

Grading will also be done from the perspective of customer resources. If an agent has a large number of stable customer resources, such as large retailers and wholesalers, it can strive for a higher level of agency because it can quickly open up the market.

Some imported products will grade by financial strength. Agents with strong financial resources can bear higher risks, and brand owners may give them a higher level, for example, they can advance payment for goods, making the brand owner's capital turnover more flexible.

In some import product agent systems, grading is done by team size. Agents with professional sales and promotion teams and a relatively large scale are more capable of promoting products and will be classified into a higher level.

Some imported products grade by the reputation of the agent. Agents with good reputation, without bad records such as delaying payment for goods and illegal operations, brand owners are more willing to grant them high-level agency rights to ensure stable cooperation.

Grading by the loyalty of the agent to the brand is also done. Agents who have long been dedicated to one brand and actively maintain the brand image may have their level upgraded by the brand owner, who will also give them more preferential treatment and support.
