I've noticed that many imported games entering our domestic market require agents. Why is that? Can't they just be directly introduced for players to enjoy? What's the reasoning behind this? Could someone knowledgeable explain?
I'm interested in the agency of imported condensed milk, but I don't know where to find reliable agency channels. I hope to understand the characteristics of each channel. 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.
I plan to be an agent for imported products. Facing a wide variety of imported products, I don't know which category to start with. I hope to learn about popular imported products with market potential and easy to open up sales channels. The best answer points out that products such as mother and baby products, beauty and skin care products, food and beverages, and health care products have good agency prospects, elaborates on the advantages of each category, and also mentions that Zhongshitong can provide one-stop import agency services.
Someone wants to open a specialty store for imported wine and finds the cost through agents too high, asking whether imported wine can bypass agents and what to note. The answer is yes. Direct procurement from foreign wineries can reduce costs, but requires knowledge of international trade, stable logistics channels, wine-tasting expertise, while facing risks like language barriers, high minimum orders, and transaction trust issues. Small trial orders or consulting professional firms are advisable.
Our company needs to find professional import customs clearance agents for imported goods, but there are numerous agencies in the market and we don’t know where to start. We hope to get recommendations on search channels and screening criteria. The best answer suggests searching online, attending industry exhibitions, or asking peers for referrals. When screening, evaluate qualifications, experience, service quality, and reputation. For example, Zhongshitong is professional and efficient, worth considering.
Our company has the need for import and export business and wants to know about the charging situation of import and export agents in Xiamen. We are worried about being ripped off. The best answer pointed out that there is no unified standard for the charges of import and export agents in Xiamen. Commonly, it is charged by ticket (500 - 2000 yuan per ticket), by the proportion of the value of the goods (0.5% - 2%), and there are also additional charges. For example, Zhongshitong will set a comprehensive price. When choosing an agent, don't just look at the price, but also pay attention to the professionalism and so on.
I'd like to know how many levels of agents there are usually for China-compliant imported vehicles and the roles of each level in the sales chain. The best answer states that the agent levels for China-compliant imported vehicles are generally divided into three levels. The first-level agents are connected with the manufacturers and are responsible for key tasks such as vehicle introduction; the second-level agents obtain resources from the first-level agents and conduct regional promotion; the third-level agents, such as 4S stores, directly provide services to consumers.

There are several main reasons why imported games require agents.
First, from a policy and legal perspective, different countries have varying requirements for content review standards and operational regulations for games. China has strict game review mechanisms, and agents can better assist imported games in completing the necessary review processes according to domestic regulations, ensuring the content aligns with China's national conditions and laws. For example, they handle violent, bloody, or inappropriate content to make the game legally compliant for domestic operation.
Second, in terms of market promotion, agents are familiar with the characteristics of the domestic game market, player preferences, and various promotional channels. They can develop targeted marketing strategies based on the game's features to increase its visibility and appeal, attracting more players. For instance, they leverage popular social platforms and gaming media in China for promotion.
Third, regarding operations and maintenance, agents can provide services better suited to domestic players' needs. This includes setting up customer support channels that align with local habits, promptly addressing player issues, and ensuring stable game performance. Agents can also optimize the game for China's network environment, enhancing the player experience.
