Where can I find a reliable channel for proxy importing goods?
Solved#Import agent#
I want to open an imported goods store, but I don't know where to find a channel for proxy importing goods. There seems to be so much relevant information in the market now that it's hard to tell the true from the false. I'd like to ask if any of you have relatively reliable ways to find a place for proxy importing goods. It would be best if it's formal, guaranteed, and has a relatively rich variety of goods. I hope you can give me some suggestions. Thank you in advance!

To find a channel for proxy importing goods, you can first consider professional import and export agency companies. Companies like Zhongshitong have rich experience and a mature supply chain system, and can provide comprehensive services, properly handling links from overseas procurement, transportation to customs clearance, and they also have a rich variety of goods.
Secondly, participate in various import and export commodity exhibitions, such as the Canton Fair. You can directly contact many suppliers at the exhibition, understand the goods intuitively, and negotiate cooperation on the spot.
Furthermore, some online professional imported goods platforms, such as Alibaba International Station, can also help you find suitable proxy goods by screening high-quality merchants. In addition, industry forums and social media groups are also good places to obtain information. Peers or those with experience will share relevant resources.
