I am an operator of a whole-house customization store in a second-tier city. Recently, I plan to upgrade my store by introducing a batch of high-end imported panels, hardware and decorative materials to increase the average customer order value.

I heard from peers that Zhibang offers import and export agency services, but I don't know exactly which imported brands they represent. Is there any risk of incomplete qualifications? In addition, I am worried that if we partner up, whether the subsequent customs clearance, taxation and after-sales services can keep up.

After all, our store has a considerable order volume. If problems arise, it will affect customer delivery. Could you please explain the details in this regard?
