Of course, products can be imported through agency in China. First, you need to have import-export operation rights. If you don't, you can collaborate with qualified agency companies like Zhongshitong.
Second, you need to understand the relevant policies and regulations for the products. For example, some food imports require a food business license and product label filing, while cosmetics imports require completing relevant approval procedures. Additionally, confirm product details, pricing, and shipping methods with foreign suppliers. After the goods arrive at the port, customs declaration and inspection are required, along with providing documents like packing lists, invoices, and contracts.
The entire process is relatively complex, so it's recommended to seek assistance from professional agency companies to reduce hassles and improve efficiency.
