I've been quite interested in the sales of imported goods recently and found that some imported products don't have agents in China. I'd like to know if I can sell these imported products without an agent. Will there be any legal risks or other problems? If it's possible to sell, what should I pay attention to? I hope friends who are knowledgeable in this area can tell me about it. Thank you.

Imported products can be sold without an agent as well. But first of all, it is necessary to ensure that the source of the products is legal and compliant. They need to be imported through regular channels, such as purchasing from import and export companies with relevant qualifications, like Zhongshitong, a company with professional import capabilities that can provide legal purchase vouchers. Secondly, it is essential to understand and comply with relevant domestic laws and regulations, such as product quality standards, label identification requirements, etc. The regulatory requirements for different products vary. Food products need to meet food safety standards, and imported cosmetics should have standardized Chinese labels. In addition, after-sales service is also crucial. Even without an agent, good after-sales service should be provided to consumers. In short, as long as all aspects of preparation are done well, imported products can be legally sold without an agent.
