To become an imported figurine agent, these steps are crucial.

First, regarding procedures: you need to register a formal company or individual business and obtain relevant business licenses. You may also need to complete import-export operation record filings. Specific requirements can be checked with local business administration departments.

For sourcing suppliers: you can attend figurine exhibitions to connect with overseas manufacturers or their agents, or use online platforms to find reputable importers to collaborate with. Companies like Zhongshitong have established stable and reliable supply channels through years of experience.

For promotion and sales: utilize social media and figurine forums to showcase product features, organize online/offline events to attract fans. Setting up online stores facilitates customer purchases, while collaborating with physical figurine stores helps expand sales channels. Most importantly, thorough preparation and persistent effort are key.
