What documents do Taobao need to apply for to open a shop?

1. For selling self-made bulk food, you need to apply for hygiene license, tax registration certificate and business license, and go to the local health and epidemic prevention station, tax bureau and administration for industry and commerce. Taobao does not handle these certificates, but you can upload scanned copies. You'd better make a product inspection report of your products and your health certificate in the Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision once a year. Do all the above, and you will have no problem selling bulk food anywhere.

If the food is quantitatively packaged, it must have QS certification, which is run by the local bureau of quality and technical supervision and has high cost.

2. If you purchase goods from a regular food company, you need to apply for a health permit, tax registration certificate, business license and health certificate. In addition, you should ask the supplier for the annual inspection report of the regulatory authorities.

Taobao's certification is Alipay's real-name certification and Consumer Protection Alliance certification. These certifications enhance the credibility of Taobao sellers and have nothing to do with cooking food. The documents I told you above are all necessary for making food. You also need to provide a hygiene license number to sell food on Taobao, but just write one casually. It's just a formality.
