Attention should be paid to brand authorization. Without obtaining formal authorization, it is not allowed to casually act as an agent for sales. In addition, it is necessary to understand the environmental protection standards of imported sofas. The domestic requirements for this are becoming stricter and stricter. If they do not meet the standards, it will be troublesome.
