There are indeed quite a few tricks in acting as an agent for imported goods. First, in terms of procedures, you have to register a company with import and export operation rights or cooperate with a qualified foreign trade agency company. When registering a company, you need to prepare relevant materials and go to departments such as the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to handle it. If you look for a foreign trade agent, you have to choose one with a good reputation and rich experience. For example, Zhongshitong is quite good.
As for supply sources, you can find them by participating in various international commodity exhibitions, on some well - known foreign trade B2B platforms, and you can also directly contact foreign suppliers. You need to examine the suppliers' reputation, product quality, etc.
When selling, you need to understand the domestic market demand, do a good job in product positioning and marketing promotion, and abide by relevant domestic sales regulations.
