Italy is the barometer of European beauty consumption - in Milan's fashion showcase, Chinese makeup is occupying an increasing position. However, if lipstick, liquid foundation and eye shadow plates really want to reach the shelves in Rome or Turin, they must get three "passes" before sailing: the CPNP notification number, the European Union responsible person (RP) and the CPSR safety report. In 2026, the list of essence allergens will increase from 26 to 82, and the interception rate of Italian customs for nonconforming products will continue to rise. Andaxun International Logistics has been focusing on sensitive cargo sea freight for more than ten years, providing full container/less than container load, double clearance and tax inclusive, door-to-door one-stop services to help you cope with regulatory changes with ease and have direct access to the entire Italy.

Tax and fee points: 0% -6.5% basic tariff for cosmetics under HS 3304; Goods with a value ≤ 22 euros are exempt from customs duties and value-added tax (Italy implements the original threshold); 22% value-added tax is calculated based on CIF and customs duties. If you have an Italian tax number, you can apply for deferred import value-added tax (not actually paid during customs clearance, quarterly deduction). If you do not have a tax number, our company will pay it on your behalf.

2、 Shenzhen to Italy Makeup Shipping Customs Clearance Documents: CPNP+RP+CPSR "Iron Triangle"

The biggest difference between cosmetics and general merchandise customs clearance is that the EU Cosmetics Notification (CPNP) must be completed in advance, and both are indispensable.

Step 1: Designate an EU Responsible Person (RP)

Non EU companies cannot directly register for CPNP and must designate a responsible person (RP) in EU member states such as Italy. The name and address of RP must be printed on the outer packaging of the product, and customs will focus on verification.

Step 2: Obtain the Cosmetic Safety Report (CPSR)

The prerequisite for CPNP registration is to hold a CPSR safety report, signed and issued by a toxicology expert recognized by the European Union, to prove product safety.

Step 3: Complete the CPNP system notification

RP uploads product information (product name, ingredients, country of origin, responsible person information, etc.) on the CPNP portal, and the system generates a notification number in real time. The product can then be legally listed.

Key update on July 31, 2026: The EU will increase the disclosure of essence allergens from 26 to 82. The products involved must complete CPSR updates, CPNP re notifications, and Italian label revisions before the deadline.

1. Essential documents (our company offers free pre-approval):

-Commercial invoice (in English, with 10 digit HS code, CIF price, and EORI number of both parties, listing the product name item by item, and prohibiting "cosmetic set")

-Packing list (distinguishing liquid/powder/paste, separately indicating the content of alcohol)

-CPNP Notification Number, CPSR Report, RP Contact Information

-MSDS (mandatory for all liquid, paste, and powder products)

-INCI ingredient list (international nomenclature, labeled concentration)

-Certificate of Origin, Original Bill of Lading

2. Customs clearance process (handled by Genoa Cooperative Bank):

24 hours before departure: Complete ICS2 entry declaration, EORI number, HS code, and cargo description must be accurate, and fines of 500-5000 euros will be imposed for data errors or omissions.

2. Electronic customs declaration: Italian Customs verifies the authenticity of CPNP registration number and RP information through online verification.

3. Tax payment release: Tax duties (if any) will be paid on behalf of others, and 22% value-added tax will be deferred or paid on behalf of others. The documents will be released on the same day or within 2 days.

4. End of line delivery: GLS/Italy Post delivers to the entire region of Rome, Milan, Turin, and Florence.

3、 Packaging Requirements for Cosmetics Shipping from Shenzhen to Italy: Leak proof, Shattered, and Environmentally Compliant

The two major pain points of cosmetics shipping are liquid leakage and powder tray breakage. And in 2026, Italy will tighten its environmental review of packaging. Three layer protection method:

|Inner layer | bottle mouth aluminum foil seal+sealing cap, inverted for 24 hours without leakage; The powder is completely wrapped with pearl wool/sponge and fixed without shaking.  |

|Middle layer | Each individual item is packaged in a leak proof plastic bag and undergoes a second inverted test after heat sealing. Alcoholic products with an alcohol content greater than 24% belong to Class 3 dangerous goods (UN1266), with a single bottle size of ≤ 500ml, and the outer box is labeled with a limit label and UN1266 number.  |

|Outer layer | Five layer double anti corrugated box, sealed with the word "gong", tape width ≥ 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.  |

New PPWR Packaging Regulations in 2026 (effective from August 12th):

-The total content of heavy metals (lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium) in the packaging is ≤ 100mg/kg

-Packaging porosity ≤ 50% (excessive packaging is prohibited)

-Disable disposable non recyclable foam and use EPE pearl cotton or pulp molding instead

-Exporting to Italy requires completion of EPR packaging law registration (our company can handle it on behalf)

Packaging must be done: single box weight limit of 25kg; outer box and minimum packaging must be printed with "Made in China"; The Italian label is complete, including RP information, INCI ingredient list, 82 kinds of essence allergen warnings (after July 31, 2026).

4、 Five key points for avoiding pitfalls in the Italian cosmetics shipping market

1. CPNP+CPSR+RP are indispensable: without a CPNP notification number, the goods will be returned upon arrival at the port. It is recommended to initiate compliance preparation three months in advance (designated RP → completed CPSR → CPNP notification).

2. essence allergen upgrade (as of July 31, 2021): The list of 82 allergens will come into effect soon, and the label, CPSR and CPNP must be updated simultaneously. Old version products need to be rectified within the specified time, otherwise they may face delisting.

3. Value added tax deferral saves money: Italian tax numbers can be applied for deferral, and 22% VAT is not paid during customs clearance, with quarterly deductions. Without a tax number, our company can clear on behalf of you.

4. PPWR Packaging Regulations: Mandatory from August 12, 2026, packaging materials, porosity, and EPR registration are all indispensable. Our company can assist in completing the compliance review.

5. Truthfully declare alcoholic products: Alcohol content greater than 24% is considered a dangerous goods, and single bottles of ≤ 500ml with qualified packaging can use the limited quantity LQ channel, but MSDS must be provided and concealment is strictly prohibited. Milan and Rome customs also require microbiological testing reports (CMA/CNAS qualifications) for the past 6 months.
