I've always been quite interested in the imported milk market and think being an agent could be promising. But I have no experience at all and don't know how to start as an imported milk agent. For example, what procedures need to be handled, how to find reliable suppliers, and how to develop sales channels, etc. Hope someone knowledgeable can give some guidance, thanks!
I plan to find an import and export agent to handle the company's import and export business. I want to know if the tax paid by the import and export agent is more than that when the company directly handles it, and whether there are any hidden taxes. The best answer points out that the amount of tax paid is affected by various factors such as the goods themselves and the mode of trade. Professional agents can reasonably save taxes, and regular agents have no hidden taxes. Choosing a professional agent is crucial.
I'm interested in the imported ice cream market and want to be an agent. I'm asking where I can get the agency of imported ice cream brands.

Our company intends to find an agent to conduct import and export business. We are not clear whether the customs declaration and reporting should be the responsibility of the entrusting party or the agent. We are asking about relevant special regulations and precautions. The best answer states that generally, when it is in the name of the entrusting party and within the scope of entrustment, the entrusting party is responsible; when it is in the name of the agent itself, the agent is responsible. The two parties can also stipulate in the contract, and both should ensure that the declaration is true and accurate, prepare the documents in advance, and understand the process and the definition of responsibilities before conducting the business.

The best answer points out that the main channels are participating in international food exhibitions, where you can directly connect with manufacturers but the cost is high; by means of professional imported food trade platforms such as Zhongshitong, with abundant resources and convenience; contacting large domestic imported food distributors, with stable sources of goods but the profit margin may be affected.

To become an imported milk agent, these steps are crucial.
First, you need to secure the necessary business qualifications. You should register a company with relevant business scope (such as dairy product sales, etc.), obtain food business licenses and other required certificates to ensure legal operation.
Next, find suppliers. Work with legitimate importers or directly partner with foreign manufacturers, checking their production standards and qualifications. Reputable companies like Zhongshitong are good options—ensure milk quality and stable supply.
Then, develop sales channels. You can negotiate with offline supermarkets and convenience stores for distribution, or set up online stores on e-commerce platforms for promotion and sales. At the same time, focus on brand promotion and after-sales service to gradually build a customer base. This is how to successfully run an imported milk agency business.
