You must pay attention to the shelf life. Imported prune juice has a long transportation time, plus the sales cycle. If the shelf life is not managed well, it is easy to have near-expiry products, causing losses. Therefore, before acting as an agent, you should negotiate return and exchange policies with the supplier.
