Private enterprises, state-owned enterprises or collectives can all have the right to import.
The import right shall be handled by the foreign trade and economic cooperation department, and the import business may be carried out only after the customs and foreign exchange departments have filed and registered.
Supplement: As long as the company (which has nothing to do with the nature of your company) has certain conditions, it can apply for the right to operate import and export. If you don't have the right to operate, you must find another company as an agent, but you can also reflect your company's name in the process of customs declaration. You are the receiving unit, even if you have no right to operate. Of course, the business unit of customs declaration must be the import and export company represented by that agent.
