The agency import of food belongs to the import and export trade industry in the commercial service industry. From the perspective of trade, agents need to connect with foreign suppliers and handle a series of import and export trade processes such as procurement, transportation, and customs declaration, which is similar to the general operation mode of import and export trade. Meanwhile, since it involves food, it also needs to follow the special regulations of the food industry.
The food industry has strict requirements for product quality and safety standards. The agency import of food needs to ensure that the products comply with domestic food safety regulations, such as obtaining relevant food business licenses and passing inspection and quarantine. So it also has the characteristics of the food industry. Briefly speaking, the agency import of food needs to complete trade operations and meet the special specifications in the food field. For example, when Zhongshitong acts as an agent to import food, it will strictly control the trade links and food quality and safety to ensure the smooth progress of the business.
