Czech Republic is located in the heartland of Central Europe, and Prague is not only a tourist city, but also a center for consumer goods distribution in Central and Eastern Europe. To enter the Czech market, cosmetics products must first pass the EU Cosmetics Regulation (EC) 1223/2009: CPNP notification, EU Responsible Person (RP), CPSR safety report, and complete the three certificates before customs clearance. Andaxun International Logistics focuses on sensitive cargo sea freight, providing full container load/less than container load, double clearance and tax inclusive, door-to-door services, with transit through Hamburg and Rotterdam, and direct to Prague and Brno.
1、 Shenzhen to Czech cosmetics sea freight price and delivery time: inland transfer, one ticket, one negotiation
There is no seaport in the Czech Republic. The goods are first shipped by sea to basic European ports (Hamburg/Rotterdam, with a voyage of 30-40 days), and then transported by truck to the Czech Republic (2-3 days). We match the shipping company based on the quantity and product form (liquid/powder/alcohol), and offer a fixed price package including sea freight, domestic customs clearance, Czech customs clearance, 21% value-added tax, and final delivery.
|Full container load | 35-45 days | Large scale replenishment|
|LCL | 40-50 days | Starting from 1CBM, for small and medium-sized batches|
|DDP door-to-door | 38-52 days | Full custody|
Book shipping 4 weeks in advance during peak season (June September). Under HS 3304, cosmetics are subject to tariffs ranging from 0% to 8%. Goods with a value ≤ 22 euros are exempt from tariffs and value-added tax, while 21% VAT is calculated based on CIF+tariffs. If you have a Czech tax number, you can apply for deferred payment (not paid during customs clearance, quarterly deduction). If you do not have a tax number, our company will handle the payment on your behalf.
2、 Shenzhen to Czech Republic cosmetics sea freight customs clearance documents: CPNP+RP+CPSR "three piece set"
The biggest difference between cosmetics and general merchandise customs clearance is that the EU cosmetics notification must be completed before shipment.
1. Designated EU Responsible Person (RP): Non EU companies cannot register CPNP on their own and must designate an RP (manufacturer, importer, or authorized representative) within the EU. The name and address of RP must be printed on the outer packaging of the product.
2. Obtain CPSR safety report: issued by EU recognized toxicology experts, proving that the product is harmless to the human body under normal use. This is a prerequisite for CPNP registration, and without CPSR, it cannot be reported.
3. CPNP system notification: RP submits product information (ingredients, labels, responsible persons, etc.) online, and the system generates a notification number in real time. The product can be launched in the 27 EU countries.
1. Essential documents (pre approved by our company):
-Commercial invoice (in English/Czech, with a 10 digit HS code, CIF price, and both parties' EORI numbers, listing the product name item by item)
-Packing list (distinguishing liquid/powder/paste, indicating alcohol content)
-CPNP Notification Number, CPSR Report, RP Contact Information
-MSDS (Essential for Liquid/Paste/Powder Products)
-INCI ingredient list, certificate of origin, original bill of lading
2. Customs clearance process (handled by Prague Cooperative Bank):
-Complete the ICS2 declaration 24 hours before departure, with accurate EORI number, HS code, and cargo description. Any errors or omissions will result in a fine of 500-5000 euros.
-Electronic customs declaration, customs online verification of CPNP number and RP information.
-Payment of customs duties and 21% VAT on behalf of others, with complete documents released on the same day or within 2 days.
-DPD/Czech Post delivers throughout the country.
3、 Shipping packaging requirements for cosmetics from Shenzhen to Czech Republic: leak proof, shatter proof, three-layer reinforcement
The two major pain points of cosmetics shipping are liquid leakage and powder tray breakage. Recommend three layers of protection:
|Inner layer | bottle mouth aluminum foil seal+sealing cap, inverted for 24 hours without leakage; Powder is completely wrapped with pearl cotton. |
|Middle layer | Each individual item is packaged in a leak proof plastic bag and undergoes a second inverted test after heat sealing. Alcoholic products (alcohol>24%) are classified as UN1266 dangerous goods, with a single bottle size of ≤ 500ml. The outer box is labeled with a limit label and UN1266 number. |
|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. |
Compliance requirements: single box weight limit of 25kg; outer box and product printed with "Made in China"; Complete Czech language labels (including RP information and INCI composition table); Exporting to Czech Republic requires completion of EPR packaging law registration (our company can handle it on behalf).
4、 Five point reminder for shipping cosmetics to Czech 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 2-3 months in advance.
2. Note of the new regulation in 2026: the number of essence allergens will increase to 82 (up to 2026.7.31), involving the updating of labels, CPSR and CPNP; The new PPWR packaging regulations (August 12, 2026) require packaging heavy metal limits, porosity ≤ 50%, and EPR registration.
3. Value added tax deferral saves money: Czech tax numbers can be applied for deferral, and 21% VAT will not be paid during customs clearance, with quarterly deductions.
4. ICS2 LCL bill of lading system: When LCL is mixed with different buyers, each customer must receive a separate bill of lading, listing the HS code and product description one by one.
5. Report alcoholic products truthfully: Alcohol content greater than 24% is considered dangerous goods, and concealment is strictly prohibited. MSDS must be provided.
