When importing and acting as an agent for foreign brands, attention should be paid to market trends. Brands of popular categories should be selected, such as beauty and mother and baby products which have a wide audience. In addition, the domestic policies on this product should be understood. It will be troublesome if the product does not conform to the regulations at that time.
