The Klaipeda Port in Lithuania is one of the largest container hubs in the Baltic Sea, responsible for approximately 70% of Lithuania's national sea freight throughput. It is a key gateway for Chinese cosmetics to enter the Nordic and Baltic markets. From Baiyun in Guangzhou, Chang'an in Dongguan to Longhua in Shenzhen, cosmetics products from the Pearl River Delta are continuously transported via this route to Vilnius and Kaunas. However, the export of cosmetics to Lithuania must cross three hard thresholds in advance - CPNP notification, EU responsible person (RP), CPSR safety report, all of which are indispensable. Andaxun International Logistics has been focusing on the export of sensitive goods for more than ten years, providing one-stop services such as full container load/less than container load, double clearance and tax inclusive, and door-to-door service to help you go abroad in compliance and directly connect to the Baltic Sea.
1、 Shenzhen to Lithuania cosmetics sea freight price and delivery time: Klaipeda special line, one ticket, one negotiation
The sea freight route from Shenzhen to Klaipeda Port goes directly through the Baltic Sea, with a total duration of about 30-42 days. It is escorted by icebreakers in winter and navigable throughout the year. During the peak season (June to September), cabin space is tight, so it is recommended to book 4 weeks in advance. Bulk goods are shipped directly by sea to the port of Klaipeda.
We adhere to the principle of one ticket, one discussion, and match the best shipping company (COSCO, MSC, EMC, etc.) based on the cargo volume (full container/loose cargo) and product form (liquid/paste/powder/alcohol). The one price package includes sea freight, domestic trailer customs clearance, Lithuanian import customs clearance, customs duties (exempt for goods with a value ≤ 150 euros), 21% value-added tax, and final delivery.
|FCL direct delivery | 30-42 days | Shenzhen/Guangzhou direct flight to Klaipeda, 25-30 days by sea, 5-12 days for customs clearance and land transportation|
|LCL sea freight | 35-45 days | Shenzhen/Guangzhou consolidation, starting from 1CBM, destination port unpacking and distribution|
|DDP Door to Door | 38-50 Days | Coverage of Vilnius, Kaunas, and Klaipeda|
Quick overview of taxes and fees: Most categories under HS 3304 cosmetics have tariffs ranging from 0% to 17%, and goods with a value ≤ 150 euros are exempt from tariffs; Lithuania has a VAT of 21%, and goods with a value ≤ 22 euros are exempt from value-added tax. Having a Lithuanian VAT number allows for the application of value-added tax deferral. Failure to pay during customs clearance may result in quarterly deductions.
2、 Shenzhen to Lithuania cosmetics sea freight customs clearance documents: CPNP+RP+CPSR "three piece set"
The fundamental difference between cosmetics and general merchandise customs clearance lies in the European Union Cosmetics Notification (CPNP), which allows customs to verify the notification number online and deduct it if there is no number.
1. Designated European Union Responsible Person (RP)
Non EU companies must appoint a responsible person within the EU. The responsible person must be located within the European Economic Area or Northern Ireland, and their address must be displayed on the product packaging. Starting from 2026, the EU will strengthen its supervision of responsible persons, and PIF and CPSR must ensure real-time updates. Our company can assist in connecting with EU compliance service providers.
2. Obtain CPSR safety report
Signed and issued by a toxicologist recognized by the European Union, including formula, physical and chemical data, microbiological testing (Part A), and risk assessment conclusion (Part B). Without CPSR, CPNP notification cannot be completed. It is recommended to initiate it 3 months in advance.
3. CPNP system notification
The responsible person logs in to the CPNP portal to submit product information, and the system immediately generates a unique notification number. The product can then be sold in the 27 EU countries. Formula changes must be updated within 48 hours.
As of July 31, 2026, the number of essence allergens has increased from 26 to 82: cosmetics containing essence ingredients must complete three updates of labels, CPSR and CPNP before the deadline, or new batches of goods will be detained or returned.
1. Core documents (our company offers free pre-approval):
-Commercial invoice (in English, with 10 digit HS code, CIF price, EORI number of both parties, and itemized product name)
-Packing list (distinguishing liquid/powder/paste, indicating alcohol content)

2. Customs clearance process (handled by Kleipeda cooperative bank):

2. Electronic customs declaration upon arrival at the port, Lithuanian customs network verification of CPNP number and RP information.
3. Payment of customs duties and 21% VAT on behalf of others, cosmetic customs clearance may take 3-5 days due to additional inspection and quarantine.
4. DPD/Lithuanian Post delivers throughout the country.
3、 Packaging Requirements for Cosmetics Shipping from Shenzhen to Lithuania: Leak proof and Shattered Three Layer Protection
The most common reasons for compensation for cosmetics shipping by sea are liquid leakage and powder tray breakage. Lithuania implements the EU uniform packaging standards.
|Inner layer | bottle mouth aluminum foil seal+sealing cap, inverted for 24 hours without leakage; Powder is completely wrapped with pearl cotton; Powder product double-layer sealed (aluminum foil bag+sealed can), with desiccant added. |
|Middle layer | Each individual item is equipped with a leak proof plastic bag, which is subjected to a second inverted test after heat sealing; Place absorbent pads or vermiculite inside the box. |
|Outer layer | Five layer double anti corrugated box, sealed with "Gong" character, tape ≥ 5cm; labeled with "Fragile", "Upward", "Sun resistant", and "Liquid" in both Chinese and English. Wooden pallets must be marked with IPPC fumigation, and if the handwriting is blurry, they can be returned directly. |
Special requirements for alcoholic products: Alcohol>24% belongs to Class 3 dangerous goods (UN1266), single bottle ≤ 500ml, MSDS and hazardous packaging certificate are complete, UN1266 number and flammable label are posted on the outer box, and concealment is strictly prohibited.
Required items: Single box weight limit of 25kg; outer box and product printed with "Made in China"; The product label contains RP information and INCI ingredient list.
Lithuanian EPR reminds producers and importers who supply packaging exceeding 0.5 tons within Lithuania to pay environmental taxes on packaging waste according to the type and weight of packaging materials. The tax rate shall be implemented in accordance with the regulations of the Lithuanian Ministry of Environment, and exporters shall prepare cost accounting in advance.
4、 Six core reminders for shipping cosmetics to the Lithuanian market by sea
1. CPNP+RP+CPSR are indispensable: without a notification number, they will be deducted upon arrival at the port. It is recommended to start compliance preparation three months in advance. Formula changes must update CPNP within 48 hours.
2. Overlay of new EU regulations in 2026: essence allergens will be expanded to 82 types (up to 2026.7.31), and labels/CPSR/CPNP must be updated simultaneously; The new PPWR packaging regulations (effective on August 12, 2026) require packaging heavy metal limits, porosity ≤ 50%, and EPR registration.
3. EORI number is the "entry ticket" for customs clearance: Lithuanian importers must register in the customs system to obtain an EORI number (which is universally used in the EU), otherwise they cannot complete customs declaration, and the goods may be detained or delayed in customs clearance.
4. Value added tax deferral applies to bulk goods: Importers with Lithuanian tax numbers can apply for deferral and do not pay 21% VAT during customs clearance, with quarterly deductions. Our company will handle the payment without a tax number.
5. Customs clearance for cosmetics requires additional approval: Due to the need for additional inspection and quarantine procedures, the customs clearance time for cosmetics may be extended to 3-5 days. A complete ingredient list and safety assessment report must be prepared before shipment.
6. Peak season and climate: Book shipping 4 weeks in advance for the peak shipment period from June to September; Kleipeda Port is escorted by icebreakers in winter and navigable throughout the year; It is recommended to purchase cargo transportation insurance to avoid the risk of humidity fluctuations in sea freight.
