Agency import usually requires registration. First, in terms of customs, the agency import enterprise needs to complete customs registration, which is a prerequisite for the enterprise to have the customs declaration qualification. Submit basic enterprise information, business license, legal representative identification, and other materials for registration through the "China International Trade Single Window" or the "Internet + Customs" platform.
Second, if specific products are involved, such as imported food, the agent also needs to file for the food importer. Register enterprise information, contact information, food safety management system, etc. in the customs' "Imported Food and Cosmetics Importers and Exporters Filing System".
In addition, for special commodities such as imported medicines, the corresponding import filing registration needs to be completed according to the requirements of the drug regulatory department. Registration requirements vary for different products and business scenarios. You can consult the local relevant regulatory departments or professional agency import institutions like Zhongshitong to ensure the accuracy of the registration process.

Generally speaking, registration is required. Customs registration is quite important. Otherwise, how can you declare customs? And for some products, registration may also be required in the corresponding regulatory departments. For example, for imported medical devices, there may be relevant procedures in the Food and Drug Administration.
