I plan to find an import and export agent to handle the company's import and export business. I want to know if the tax paid by the import and export agent is more than that when the company directly handles it, and whether there are any hidden taxes.

Our company intends to find an agent to conduct import and export business. We are not clear whether the customs declaration and reporting should be the responsibility of the entrusting party or the agent. We are asking about relevant special regulations and precautions. The best answer states that generally, when it is in the name of the entrusting party and within the scope of entrustment, the entrusting party is responsible; when it is in the name of the agent itself, the agent is responsible. The two parties can also stipulate in the contract, and both should ensure that the declaration is true and accurate, prepare the documents in advance, and understand the process and the definition of responsibilities before conducting the business.

To be an import maternal and infant products agent, first, choose products well and deeply understand the demand of the maternal and infant market. Popular categories such as milk powder, diapers, and baby skin care products can be focused on. Choosing a reliable supplier is crucial. For example, Zhongshitong can provide stable and high-quality goods sources, and the product quality is guaranteed.
Next, build sales channels. Online, you can open stores on platforms like WeChat, Taobao, and Douyin; offline, you can cooperate with maternal and infant stores, early education institutions, etc. to expand customer sources.
It is also necessary to do a good job in brand promotion, attract customers by sharing product knowledge and usage experiences, and increase brand awareness. At the same time, pay attention to customer service, handle after-sales problems in a timely manner, and accumulate a good reputation. In addition, being familiar with relevant policies and regulations of imported products to ensure legal and compliant operation is also essential.
