To act as an agent for imported foods in Pingxiang, relevant qualifications should be obtained first, such as the Food Business License, which is a necessary certificate for engaging in food sales. The right to engage in import and export is also required and can be obtained through procedures such as filing with the commerce department and customs registration.
Then, reliable sources of goods should be found through participating in food exhibitions, online B2B platforms and other means. When communicating with suppliers, details of products, prices, delivery methods, etc. should be clarified.
Before the goods arrive at the port, contracts, invoices, packing lists, certificates of origin, health certificates and other customs declaration documents should be prepared in advance. After the goods arrive at the port, a professional customs broker like Zhongshitong should be entrusted to handle the customs clearance and complete tax payment and other procedures. After the products pass the inspection, they can be sold in the market. Throughout the process, attention should be paid to controlling product quality and strictly adhering to relevant food laws and regulations.
