Denmark is a benchmark for Nordic lifestyle, and Chinese makeup is gradually occupying more shelves in Copenhagen's beauty shops.

In 2026, the CPNP notification, the responsible person system, and the list of essence allergens will be tightened, and the Danish customs will be more meticulous in its implementation. Combined with the highest 25% value-added tax in the entire EU, mandatory Danish language labeling, and dangerous goods transportation regulations for alcoholic products, any negligence in any link could result in goods being stuck at the port.

We provide full container load/consolidation, double clearance and tax inclusive, door-to-door full chain services to ensure your products enter the Nordic market in compliance.

Danish import taxes and fees:
-Tariff: HS 3303 perfume, tax rate 6.5%, HS 3304 eye makeup, about 5.1%
-VAT 25% (highest in the EU), calculated based on CIF+customs duty+shipping fee, with Danish tax number eligible for deferred application

2、 Shenzhen to Denmark makeup shipping customs clearance documents: CPNP+RP+CPSR, three locks
The biggest difference between cosmetics and general merchandise is that they must complete the European Union Cosmetics Notification (CPNP), otherwise they will be detained upon arrival at the port.
Step 1: Designate an EU Responsible Person (RP)
Non EU companies must designate a responsible person within the EU, whose name and address must be printed on the product packaging. Starting from 2026, RP will not only be responsible for nominal updates, but also for real-time updates of PIF (Product Information Archive) and CPSR.
Step 2: CPSR Safety Report
Issued by a toxicologist recognized by the European Union, it is divided into Part A (formulation, physicochemical, microbiological data) and Part B (risk assessment conclusion). The formula has changed, and CPSR must be updated synchronously, otherwise CPNP will be considered invalid.
Step 3: CPNP system notification
The responsible person logs in to the CPNP portal to submit product information, and the system immediately generates a unique number, and the product can be launched in the European Union.
Key update on July 31, 2026: the number of essence allergens has soared from 26 to 82. The label, CPSR and CPNP of products containing essence must be updated at the same time before the deadline, otherwise the new batch of goods will be deducted upon arrival.
Core documents (pre approved by our company):
-Commercial invoice (including 10 digit HS code, CIF price, EORI number of both parties, 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, INCI ingredient list, certificate of origin, original bill of lading
Customs clearance process (Copenhagen cooperative agency):
Complete ICS2 declaration 24 hours before departure, with a fine of 500-5000 euros for errors or omissions
2. Danish Customs electronic customs declaration, online verification of CPNP number and RP information
3. Payment of customs duties and 25% VAT on behalf of others, with complete documents released on the same day or within 2 days
4. Danish Post/DPD delivers throughout the country
3、 Packaging requirements: Leak proof and shatter proof, with three layers in place
The two major pain points of cosmetics shipping are liquid leakage and powder tray breakage. If the cabin temperature exceeds 50 ℃ in summer, the packaging must pass the customs.
|Inner layer | bottle mouth sealing cap+aluminum foil sealing, inverted for 24 hours without leakage; Liquid containers must pass a 1.2-meter drop test; Powder is completely wrapped with pearl cotton|
|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 cotton or vermiculite inside the box|
|Outer layer | Five layer double anti corrugated box, sealed with the letter "gong"; Paste labels in both Chinese and English for "fragile", "upward", "sun resistant", and "liquid"; Wooden pallets must have IPPC fumigation markings|
Alcoholic products: Alcohol>24% belongs to UN 1266 Class 3 dangerous goods. Single bottle ≤ 100ml and outer box ≤ 30kg can use LQ limited channel, and the shipping cost is more than 30% lower than that of pure dangerous goods. MSDS (GHS 11th revised edition) must be provided and concealment is strictly prohibited.
Required items: Single box ≤ 25kg; Outer box and product should be printed with "Made in China"; The Danish label is complete (including RP information and INCI ingredient list).
4、 Reminder on Five "Avoiding Pits" for Shipping Makeup to the Danish Market
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. Allergen amplification of essence in 2026 (as of July 31): The list of 82 kinds will come into effect soon, and products containing essence must complete the synchronization of labeling, CPSR and CPNP before the deadline. Old batches that were launched on the market before July 31st can be sold until July 31st, 2028.
3. 25% value-added tax - the highest tax burden in Northern Europe: This is the highest VAT in the European Union and must be included in cost accounting. Danish tax numbers can be applied for deferral, not paid during customs clearance, and deducted quarterly.
4. Danish labels are essential: all labels must be in Danish, and medical efficacy words such as "treat" and "repair" are prohibited, otherwise they may be classified under drug regulation.
5. Declaration of alcoholic products truthfully: alcohol>24% must be regarded as dangerous goods, and perfume needs to pay additional consumption tax. Concealing will be locked by customs and fined.
