Want to be an agent for imported mooncakes? How should I do it? Are there any relevant video tutorials?
Solved#Import agent#
I've always been interested in being an agent for imported foods. Recently, I especially want to be an agent for imported mooncakes. But I have absolutely no experience and don't know where to start. I heard that there are relevant video tutorials on the Internet that can guide in detail how to be an agent, but I couldn't find any reliable ones after searching for a long time. I'd like to ask everyone, how on earth should I do to be an agent for imported mooncakes? It would be even better if relevant videos could be provided.

To be an agent for imported mooncakes, first of all, you have to find reliable sources of goods. You can directly contact foreign suppliers by participating in international food exhibitions, such as the food exhibition area of the Canton Fair. You can also use online platforms, such as professional import supply chain platforms like Zhongshitong to look for them.
Secondly, understand and meet the relevant laws, regulations and standards for imported foods in China, and handle the necessary qualifications, such as food business licenses, customs filings, etc.
Furthermore, plan the sales channels well. Online, you can use e-commerce platforms, such as opening stores on Taobao and JD.com; offline, cooperate with supermarkets, boutique fruit stores, gift shops, etc. to distribute products.
As for video tutorials, you can search on platforms such as the official website of Zhongshitong, Douyin, and Bilibili. There may be videos that explain the operation steps in detail.
