For agency sales of imported milk, these steps are crucial.
First, regarding procedures, you need to obtain a food business license to ensure legal operation. You also need to pay attention to import customs declaration and other related processes, and can consult a professional customs broker for assistance.
Next, for sourcing, by participating in various food exhibitions, you can directly contact many importers and understand product quality and cooperation terms. You can also use online platforms to find reputable suppliers, but be sure to carefully verify their qualifications.
Then for sales channels, you can start by negotiating shelf placement with local supermarkets and convenience stores, while also conducting online sales and using e-commerce platforms to expand your customer base. You can also increase product visibility by holding tasting events. Additionally, pay attention to the product's storage and transportation conditions to ensure the quality of the imported milk is not affected.
