Domestic products represented by agents can indeed be exported. From a legal perspective, as long as the products comply with the relevant standards and regulations of the importing country and you complete all required procedures under China’s export laws, there are no legal obstacles.
In terms of practical procedures, first, you need to clarify export-related matters with domestic product suppliers, such as intellectual property rights and supply stability. Second, understand the target market’s access requirements for the product, such as certifications and labeling regulations. Then, find a reliable freight forwarder, like Zhongshitong, to assist with booking, customs clearance, and other logistics.
For formalities, you typically need to obtain import-export rights. If you don’t have these, you can seek help from an agency. Additionally, prepare documents such as commercial invoices, packing lists, and bills of lading. Generally, as long as the products are compliant and all formalities are complete, there are no special policy restrictions.

Before exporting represented products, confirm whether there are any export restrictions. Some special products are strictly controlled by the state, so clarify this first. If export is allowed, finding a freight forwarder familiar with export procedures, like Zhongshitong, is crucial and can save a lot of trouble.

Export is definitely possible. However, ensure the product quality meets foreign standards. It’s best to communicate with suppliers in advance—if there are product issues after export, it could lead to significant problems.

Beyond product standards, document preparation is also critical. Ensure commercial invoices and other documents are properly prepared to avoid customs clearance errors, which could delay shipments.

Export also requires considering transportation. Different methods have different requirements. Sea freight is cheaper but slower, while air freight is faster but more expensive—choose based on the product’s needs.

Remember to conduct commodity inspections. If the product requires inspection or quarantine, failing to do so may result in goods being detained at the destination port.
