Strictly control leak proof and shockproof packaging, and operate alcoholic products according to hazardous material regulations. The price is negotiable, and the delivery time is 18-35 days. Help you go global in compliance and seize the North American beauty market!

The United States is the world's largest consumer market for cosmetics, with an average annual import value exceeding billions of dollars. From Baiyun in Guangzhou, Chang'an in Dongguan to Longhua in Shenzhen, the Pearl River Delta gathers thousands of beauty sellers. However, after the comprehensive implementation of the Cosmetic Modernization Regulatory Act (MoCRA) in 2025, the "game rules" for exporting cosmetics to the United States will be completely changed - mandatory registration and product listing by the FDA will become rigid thresholds, both of which are indispensable. Andaxun International Logistics has been deeply involved in the export of sensitive goods for more than ten years. We now provide you with a one-stop cosmetics shipping solution: full container load/LCL, double clearance tax inclusive, door-to-door, helping you to seize North American shelves in compliance and efficiency.

1、 Shenzhen to the United States cosmetics sea freight price and delivery time: on-demand shipping, one ticket, one negotiation

Makeup is highly time sensitive, especially seasonal new products. We match Meisen/Yixing Fast Ship or COSCO/MSC General Ship based on cargo volume, budget, and delivery window, with a one size fits all package: ocean freight+domestic customs clearance trailer+US import customs clearance+all tariffs and fees (MPF/HMF)+final delivery. The bill is clear and there are no additional items.

|Meisen Express/LCL | 15-23 days | First order of new products, urgent replenishment, 11-12 days at sea, available for immediate pickup upon arrival at the dedicated dock|

|Direct shipping by regular ship | 20-30 days | Regular replenishment, high cost-effectiveness, sufficient cabin space during off-season|

|US East Coast Route | 35-45 days | Sent to Eastern warehouses such as New York and Savannah, with large-scale stocking|

|DDP door-to-door | 15-55 days | Full custody, customers wait for receipt|

During the peak season (June to September), cabin space is tight, so it is recommended to book 4 weeks in advance. The time difference between the peak and off peak seasons of the US West Express is relatively small, and the peak season of the general shipping public terminal is prone to delays of 3-7 days. Under HS 3304, the basic tariff for cosmetics is 0% -6.5%, and the additional tax for 301 is still (7.5% -25%). Our company will handle the payment on our behalf.

2、 Customs clearance documents and procedures for shipping cosmetics from Shenzhen to the United States: FDA compliance is the "first hurdle"

The biggest difference between makeup and regular customs clearance is that FDA registration must be completed before shipment, otherwise it will be deducted upon arrival at the port.

1. FDA mandatory registration three-step process (recommended to start 3 months in advance)

-Apply for Dun&Bradstreet Code (DUNS)

-Designated US agent (emergency contact person)

-Submit Form 5066 (Factory Registration) and Form 5067 (Product Listing) through the FDA electronic system to obtain the FEI number and CPIS code. Renewal every two years, do not expire.

2. Key documents (our company provides free pre-approval)

-Commercial invoice: English, 10 digit HTS code, CIF value, listing the product name item by item (such as "matte lipstick - color number 07"), forbidding "cosmetic package" and other big words.

-Packing list: Distinguish between liquid/powder/paste, and label the content of alcohol separately.

-MSDS: All liquid, paste, and powder cosmetics must provide proof of ingredient safety.

-Certificate of Origin&Original Bill of Lading.

3. ISF 10+2 declaration (24 hours before departure)

The carrier must submit an import safety declaration within 24 hours before loading at the port of departure, and a fine of $5000 will be imposed for exceeding the deadline. Our company is fully authorized to act as an agent, ensuring zero delay.

US Customs Clearance Process (Los Angeles Cooperative Customs Clearance Agency):

Verify the validity of FDA registration before export → Complete ISF before departure → Electronic customs declaration through ACE system before arrival → Payment of customs duties and MPF/HMF on behalf of others → UPS/FedEx/truck delivery throughout the United States after release.

3、 Packaging requirements for cosmetics shipped from Shenzhen to the United States: leak proof, shatter proof, three-layer insurance

The most common problems with cosmetic shipping are liquid leakage and broken powder trays. We recommend "three-layer protection":

|Inner layer sealing | bottle mouth sealed with aluminum foil and screw cap, inverted test without leakage; Powder is completely wrapped with sponge or pearl cotton.  |

|Middle layer leak proof bag | Each item is placed in a leak proof plastic bag, and after heat sealing, undergoes a second inverted test. The outer box of alcoholic products is labeled with a limited quantity label.  |

|External box reinforcement | Five layer double anti corrugated box, sealed with "I" letter, tape width ≥ 5cm. The external box is labeled with "Fragile", "Upward", and "Liquid" in both Chinese and English. Wooden pallets must be marked with IPPC fumigation.  |

-The weight limit for a single box is 25kg (subject to communication based on actual channels) to avoid overweight fees.

-Both the outer box and the smallest packaging must be printed with "Made in China".

-Powdered makeup (such as loose powder) should be additionally moisture-proof and can be treated with desiccants.

4、 Notes on Shipping Makeup from Shenzhen to the United States: Six Common "Minefields"

1. FDA registration not renewed: Many sellers only do initial registration and ignore two-year renewals. After the registration expires, the goods cannot be cleared upon arrival at the port. Our company can provide a renewal reminder agency.

2. Violation of pigment additives: if eye shadow and powder blusher use pigments not approved by FDA (such as some red/yellow pigments), the whole batch will be detained. Suggest checking whether the CI number of the pigment is on the certification list before shipment.

3. Label wording: Medical efficacy words such as "repair", "anti-aging", and "treat acne" appearing on the packaging may be classified as drug management, leading to skyrocketing costs. Please use compliant expressions such as' improve 'and' modify '.

4. The concealment of alcoholic products: perfume and makeup spray with alcohol content>24% are classified as Class 3 dangerous goods. Single bottle ≤ 500ml and packaged according to specifications, can use the limited quantity LQ channel, but must truthfully declare MSDS.

5. Tax exemption for small packages has been cancelled: Starting from May 2025, the tax exemption policy for packages below $800 will be terminated. All commercial shipments must be fully declared and taxed, please do not split them according to low value.

6. Peak season ship selection strategy: If restocking is not urgent, choose a regular ship (cheap), or a high-value beauty pageant fast ship (stable) during peak season. It is recommended to use all water routes for the US East Coast route to avoid congestion on inland railways in the United States.
