A legitimate food import agent should have a good reputation, such as whether it has completed business on time and whether there are customer complaints. It also needs to see if it can provide professional consultation, such as the interpretation of food import regulations and policies.

Checking the company's scale is also somewhat useful. Generally, large-scale companies have more resources and standardized operations. You can observe whether the office location is in a professional business office building and whether the staffing is complete.

Understand the relationship between the agency company and departments such as the customs. A good relationship helps improve the customs clearance efficiency, but you can't rely solely on this to judge whether it is legitimate.
