I amnewbie, how to tell if my product is suitable for agency export? Which features should I focus on? I fear picking the wrong product and causing clearance or logistics issues.

Identify suitability via compliance risk first. Confirm if the product is subject to legal inspection (supervision conditions A/B) and check HS code regulatory requirements. Screen for items on the "Export License Management List" or "Dual-Use Items List"，legal liability remains yours even through an agent. Use the China Export Control Info Network for screening. Check for brand authorization and IP issues. For food，cosmetics，or medical devices，verify the manufacturer's filing qualifications. Product compliance is more important than choosing the agent.

Product features determine logistics and costs. Measure dimensions and gross weight to see if it's "bulky" or "heavy", which affects Air vs Sea choice. If it contains batteries, liquids, powders, or magnets, declare it as dangerous or special goods to avoid detention. Packaging is key—Cartons, wooden crates, or nude? Does it need fumigation? These affect destination clearance efficiency. Ask the agent for the destination's import restriction list (e.g., US ISPM15 standard for wood). Standardized products have controllable costs and smoother agency operations.

Identify core features to judge market competitiveness and margins. Ask three questions: 1. What's the differentiator (price, tech, or speed)? 2. Are entry barriers high (e.g., EU CE, US FDA)? How much profit will hidden costs eat? 3. Does customer payment match your cash flow? Use T/T prepay for trials, then L/C. Transform features into negotiation scripts—package compliance and logistics as professional capabilities to show you are a supply chain partner, not just a seller.
