Whether it's easy to be an agent for imported biscuits needs to be viewed comprehensively from multiple aspects. From the perspective of market competition, the current imported food market is growing relatively fast. As a category of snack foods, biscuits have competition but also opportunities. In terms of profit margins, it depends on product positioning and cost control. Generally, the profit of mid - high - end imported biscuits is acceptable. The upfront capital investment mainly includes the first batch of payment for goods, warehouse rental, market promotion, etc., starting from about 50,000 - 100,000 yuan, and the specific amount depends on the scale. In terms of channels, it can start from online e - commerce platforms, offline supermarkets, convenience stores, etc. Potential actual operational difficulties may include the easy breakage of biscuits during logistics transportation, shelf - life management, and complicated import procedures. However, as long as you choose good products, cooperate with professional import agents like Zhongshitong to handle procedures, and pay attention to channel expansion and market promotion, there is still a chance to do well.

It's not easy. Now the impact of e - commerce is too great. The sales volume of physical stores is limited, and the online competition is very fierce. The price is transparent, and it's hard to make money.

I think it's okay. The main thing is to find the right supplier to ensure product quality and uniqueness, so as to stand out in the market. As for channels, you can find them by making more efforts.

It's not easy. The taste of imported biscuits may not meet the preferences of the domestic public. If the promotion is not good, inventory backlogs will be a big problem.

It depends on the region. Some cities have a high acceptance of imported food and strong consumption power, so it's relatively easier to be an agent. If it's in a small place, it may be difficult to open up the market.

The capital return may be relatively slow. The cycle from ordering to selling is relatively long, and a certain amount of financial strength is needed to support it. Otherwise, it's easy to have a tight capital chain.

Brand promotion should be done well. There are many imported biscuit brands, and consumers may not be familiar with them. Only when the promotion is in place can there be sales.

Pay attention to the product's shelf life. Once it approaches the expiration date, it's very difficult to handle and may cause losses.

Now consumers have high requirements for food safety. Imported biscuits must ensure compliance with domestic standards. Otherwise, problems will be serious.
