Reliable sourcing and import agency services.
I run an offline domestic import collection store, and recently plan to expand product categories by introducing multiple popular imported brands from overseas, covering three major categories: high-end beauty products, maternal and infant supplies and light luxury apparel. I have contacted several agency providers before, but some cannot handle certain categories, some quote unreasonably high prices, and none of them clearly state which brands they are eligible to represent.
I once cooperated with a small agency before, which caused one of my beauty batches to be detained at port for half a month due to incomplete qualifications, leading to a large amount of liquidated damages. Now I am extremely cautious to avoid falling into traps. I would like to ask what imported brands you currently can provide agency services for, whether there are any special requirements for imported brand agency of different categories, if you can sort out the whole process clearly to avoid compliance risks in advance, and help clear my selected new brands through customs as soon as possible.

The imported brands we can currently represent cover all consumer categories，including six major categories: high-end beauty products，maternal and infant supplies，light luxury apparel，light luxury home goods，imported food，and 3C digital accessories，covering the vast majority of mainstream popular overseas brands. A small number of categories with special regulatory requirements can be processed after separate qualification assessment. We control risks from the source throughout the whole operation. The first step is to implement pre-document review，to check core documents including brand authorization documents，inspection and quarantine certificates，certificate of origin，Chinese label samples and other key papers in advance according to category regulatory requirements of different brands，correct errors and omissions beforehand，and avoid customs clearance stagnation caused by document issues.
At the key node connection stage，we lock shipping space in advance and complete green channel connection at ports. For the frequent replenishment demand of brand imports，we connect with the priority inspection channel at ports，cutting the overall customs clearance time by more than 30%，and avoid extra storage fees and liquidated damages caused by port demurrage. Exclusive contact persons synchronize progress at each node，so you do not need to connect and confirm with multiple parties.
In terms of abnormal contingency plans，we prepare alternative solutions in advance for three common abnormalities in brand imports: customs price verification query，random inspection，and unqualified labels. For example，for label rectification of beauty products，we have cooperative rectification sites near core ports including Shanghai，Guangzhou and Ningbo，which can complete rectification and re-declaration within 1 working day，and minimize abnormal handling duration.
At the final compliance landing stage，we finish all compliance record filing after customs clearance，and retain full traceable document archives for subsequent regulatory inspection. For long-term stable brand import demand，we can set up an exclusive risk control ledger，check the latest regulatory requirements before each batch of import，ensure the whole process complies with the 2026 updated import regulatory rules，and avoid compliance risks caused by policy updates.

For imported brands of different categories, original manufacturer invoices and transaction flow proofs of the brand side shall be prepared in advance at the price verification stage, to avoid customs price verification delay caused by customs queries on the transaction price of the brand. In case of price verification disputes, you can sort out the import price data of the same brand in the same period in advance, and submit an objection application to speed up the price verification process.
