The differences between genuine and non-genuine products of import agents are manifested in many aspects. First of all, in terms of product quality, genuine products strictly follow the production standards and quality inspection systems of the country of origin, ensuring the quality. Non-genuine products may use inferior materials and have rough workmanship. For example, for imported skin care products, the ingredients of genuine products are accurate and the effects are remarkable, while non-genuine products may cause skin problems due to inconsistent ingredients.
Secondly, in terms of price, the cost of genuine products includes the product itself, international transportation, tariffs, etc., and the price is relatively stable and reasonable. Non-genuine products may have a too low price because many links are omitted. However, a low price doesn't necessarily mean all are non-genuine products, and a comprehensive judgment is needed.
Furthermore, in terms of purchasing channels, genuine products are generally sold through regular import agency companies, such as Zhongshitong, which have complete import procedures and authorization documents. Non-genuine products may have an unknown source and no relevant qualifications. In addition, packaging details, product identification, etc. can also assist in identification. The packaging of genuine products is exquisite and the identification is standardized.

Look at the authorization. Genuine import agents will have formal authorization from the brand side. Without authorization, it is highly likely to be non-genuine. In addition, check the traceability code of the goods. Genuine products can query detailed source information through official channels, while non-genuine products often cannot be traced back.
