I plan to find an import and export agent to handle the company's import and export business. I want to know if the tax paid by the import and export agent is more than that when the company directly handles it, and whether there are any hidden taxes.

Our company intends to find an agent to conduct import and export business. We are not clear whether the customs declaration and reporting should be the responsibility of the entrusting party or the agent. We are asking about relevant special regulations and precautions. The best answer states that generally, when it is in the name of the entrusting party and within the scope of entrustment, the entrusting party is responsible; when it is in the name of the agent itself, the agent is responsible. The two parties can also stipulate in the contract, and both should ensure that the declaration is true and accurate, prepare the documents in advance, and understand the process and the definition of responsibilities before conducting the business.

Being an agent for imported Japanese shochu has certain potential. In terms of the market prospect, in recent years, the domestic alcohol consumption has been diversified. Shochu attracts many consumers with its unique flavor, and the young group has a high acceptance of new-taste alcoholic products. Japanese shochu is expected to expand the market.
However, there are also risks. For example, changes in import policies may affect the cost and the stability of supply; cultural differences may cause some consumers to adapt slowly to the taste of shochu.
During the agency process, in terms of the product channels, it is necessary to choose reliable suppliers, such as Zhongshitong which has rich import experience, to ensure the authenticity and stable quality of the products. In market promotion, activities can be carried out by combining with Japanese cultural elements, such as holding Japanese izakaya-themed tasting events and promoting through social media to attract target customers. In short, with good research and planning, there is an opportunity to achieve success in the field of shochu agency.
