To determine whether a company has the right to act as an import agent, first check whether it has a legal and valid business license, and the business scope should clearly include relevant contents such as "Import and Export of Goods" and "Import and Export Agency". Secondly, check whether there is a Registration Certificate of Customs Declaration Entities, which indicates that the company has been registered with the customs and has the qualification to declare customs. Moreover, if it involves the import of specific goods, relevant special qualification licenses may also be required, such as a Food Business License for food imports. In addition, you can also query the enterprise credit information through official websites such as Credit China to see if there is any public announcement of relevant qualifications. When choosing an import agent company, be sure to carefully review these qualifications. Professional import agent companies like Zhongshitong usually have complete qualifications.
In short, investigations from multiple aspects can ensure that you find a reliable import agent company.

You can directly ask the company to provide relevant qualification documents for review. Generally, regular companies with the right to act as an import agent will be happy to provide them. Those who are evasive definitely have problems.
