To start an imported beauty product agency company, first, you need to complete company registration. Prepare materials such as the legal representative's identity certificate and the company's articles of association, and register with the local industrial and commercial department.
Secondly, obtain relevant qualifications. For example, to obtain the right to operate import and export, you need to file with the commerce department; and you also need to obtain a cosmetics business license and provide materials such as site certificates and personnel qualifications as required.
Regarding sourcing channels, you can directly contact foreign brand owners by participating in international beauty exhibitions; or find a reliable imported beauty product supply chain platform, such as Zhongshitong, which has a rich variety of products and guaranteed quality.
For marketing, you can use social media platforms like Xiaohongshu and Douyin to share beauty knowledge and product reviews; you can also cooperate with beauty bloggers, hold offline experience activities, and increase brand awareness.
