To become an agent for purely imported sexual products, first clarify your positioning and determine the product direction, such as adult toys or lingerie.
Next, finding reliable supply sources is crucial. You can attend domestic and international sexual product trade shows, like the adult product expo in Berlin, Germany, to directly communicate and negotiate with foreign suppliers. You can also use professional import-export agency platforms like Zhongshitong, which has extensive overseas resources and can help screen high-quality suppliers.
Additionally, obtain the necessary qualifications, such as a business license and a Class II medical device operation filing certificate (some sexual products fall under Class II medical devices). At the same time, plan your marketing channels—promote online through e-commerce platforms and social media, and collaborate offline with adult product stores and pharmacies for distribution. Only by ensuring all aspects are well-prepared can you successfully start your agency.
