For an enterprise to act as an agent for food export, first of all, it needs to obtain a Food Business License, which is a necessary certificate for engaging in food sales and catering service activities. When handling it, requirements such as business premises, equipment and facilities, and food safety management systems need to be met. Secondly, it is necessary to handle the Import and Export Operation Right, including processes such as filing with the commerce department, filing with the customs, and accessing the electronic port, to obtain the qualification for goods import and export. It also needs to obtain Hygiene Registration, which is the recognition of the sanitary conditions and quality assurance capabilities of export food production enterprises. In addition, the product inspection and quarantine certificate is also indispensable. Export food needs to be inspected and quarantined by the inspection and quarantine agency and obtain relevant certificates. If an agency company like Zhongshitong is sought for handling, it is necessary to examine its reputation, qualifications, and service cases to ensure professionalism and compliance.
In short, although the handling of qualifications for acting as an agent for food export has certain complexity, it can also be successfully completed by preparing as required.

In addition to what was mentioned above, for the export of some special foods, additional qualifications may be required. For example, for health food, a health food approval number is needed, etc. It is best to understand clearly in advance during the handling process to avoid omissions.

When handling the Import and Export Operation Right, the data preparation should be complete. Otherwise, it will be very troublesome to go back and forth. Business licenses, legal representative identification, etc. should be prepared in advance in both electronic and paper versions.

When looking for an agency company, don't just look at the price. The service quality of those that are too cheap may not be good. Compare several companies and see their familiarity with policies to avoid delaying exports.

Attention should also be paid to the storage conditions of exported food. Some need specific temperatures, etc. Otherwise, it will affect the food quality and thus affect the export.
