# Chengdu Cosmetics Import Agency Service Process and Compliance Key Points

## Chengdu Cosmetics Import: Market Heat and Practical Challenges of Japanese and South Korean Brands

In the Chengdu cosmetics market in 2026,the import volume of Japanese and South Korean pharmaceutical cosmetics and European and American niche fragrances accounts for more than 40%.Many Chengdu trading companies want to grab a share of this market,but they are stuck when they first get involved in imports — Mr.Pan,who runs a beauty trading company in Chengdu,tried to import a batch of Japanese pharmaceutical cosmetics last year.The label review alone was revised three times,and finally the shipment was returned due to incomplete ingredient declaration,resulting in a loss of nearly 100,000 yuan.Similar situations are not rare: some enterprises were stuck by customs due to incomplete notarization of overseas production qualifications,some delayed delivery because commodity inspection sampling did not meet requirements,and these pain points have made many Chengdu businesses hesitant to import cosmetics.

## Core Value of Zhongshen in Cosmetics Import

Zhongshen has deep expertise in foreign trade agency with 20 years of experience.Targeting the pain points of Chengdu enterprises importing cosmetics,it can intervene in the whole process from document pre-examination to subsequent warehousing and distribution,focusing on solving the two core problems of "compliance bottlenecks" and "delayed efficiency".Unlike ordinary freight forwarders who only handle transportation,the Zhongshen team will intervene in every link in advance to block potential risks before customs declaration,so that Chengdu enterprises no longer have to worry about "repeated document revisions" and "overspending due to incorrect tariff calculations".

## Breakdown of Cosmetics Import Process: Key Nodes from Pre-examination to Customs Clearance

### Stage 1: Document Pre-examination — The First Barrier for Compliance

The document requirements for cosmetics import are much stricter than those for ordinary goods.The *Measures for Supervision and Administration of Imported Cosmetics* implemented in 2026 has added requirements for **ingredient traceability certificates** and **notarization of qualifications of overseas manufacturing enterprises**,and many enterprises have suffered losses due to missing or incorrect filling of this information.Zhongshen will help enterprises check three types of core documents in advance to ensure that each item meets the requirements of Chengdu Customs and commodity inspection:

- Cosmetics filing certificate: For non-special cosmetics,electronic filing screenshots shall be provided; for special cosmetics (such as whitening and sunscreen),administrative license approval documents shall be provided,and the documents shall be within the valid period;
- Ingredient test report: It shall be issued by a CNAS-accredited laboratory.For cosmetics imported from Japan and South Korea,12 indicators including heavy metals (lead,mercury) and hormones (glucocorticoids) shall be additionally tested;
- Label sample: It shall contain both Chinese and the language of the country of origin.The ingredient list shall be sorted from the highest to the lowest content,and information such as net content,shelf life,and production address shall not be omitted.

Last year,Mr.Jia from Chengdu entrusted Zhongshen to act as an agent for importing a batch of Korean sunscreen.During the pre-examination,it was found that the content of "benzophenone-3" in its ingredient report did not match the local Korean standards.Zhongshen immediately contacted the overseas supplier to supplement the third-party test report,avoiding the subsequent rejection of customs declaration and saving the time and cost of reshipping.

### Stage 2: Port Customs Declaration — Accurate Alignment with New Customs Regulations

In 2026,Chengdu Customs has promoted the "advance declaration + local inspection" model for cosmetics imports,and many enterprises are still unclear about the filling of declaration elements.Zhongshen’s customs declaration team will focus on two key points to help enterprises clear customs quickly:

| Check Item | 2026 Compliance Requirements | Zhongshen Assistance Method |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Accuracy of Declaration Elements | Need to accurately fill in 10 elements such as "brand,specification,ingredient content,country of origin,filing certificate number",etc.and must not omit or fill in incorrectly | Enter documents into the customs system for pre-examination in advance,match the cosmetics information in the database,and ensure 100% accuracy of declaration elements |
| Applicable Tariff Rates | Tariff rate for ordinary cosmetics is 10%,15% for special cosmetics; member countries of free trade agreements (such as Japan,South Korea,and the EU) can enjoy preferential tax rates (5%-10%) | Sort out the global free trade agreement list,help enterprises confirm whether the country of origin meets the preferential conditions,and apply for tariff reduction |

Ms.Wen’s company imported a batch of French perfume last year.Zhongshen helped confirm that France is a member of the China-EU Free Trade Agreement,and the final tariff was calculated at 8%,saving more than 40,000 yuan compared to the ordinary tax rate of 10%.At the same time,Zhongshen completed the declaration 3 days in advance,and the goods were cleared within 24 hours after arriving at the port,2 days faster than the conventional speed.

### Stage 3: Commodity Inspection and Sampling — Avoid Quarantine Delays

Cosmetics imports must pass the sampling test of commodity inspection.In 2026,Chengdu Commodity Inspection Bureau increased the sampling ratio from 5% to 8%,and shortened the test cycle from 7 working days to 5,but directly notified and required the return of unqualified products.Zhongshen will help enterprises prepare sampling samples in advance to ensure one-time passage:

- Samples shall be packaged in "minimum sales units",at least 6 pieces per batch,and the Chinese labels on the packaging shall be clearly identifiable;
- A "sample traceability label" shall be attached,indicating the production batch number,shelf life,and address of the overseas manufacturing enterprise;
- Make an appointment for sampling time with the commodity inspection agency in advance to avoid container detention fees caused by goods being stored at the port.

Mr.Qiao’s company previously imported a batch of Italian makeup,but was required to resend the sample because there was no Chinese label on the sample packaging,delaying delivery by 10 days and causing the loss of downstream customers.Later,they entrusted Zhongshen as an agent,prepared the samples with Chinese labels in advance as required,completed the test and submission on the day of sampling,and obtained the qualified report within 5 working days,3 days faster than before.

## Case: Zhongshen Helps Chengdu Enterprises Avoid Import Risks

At the end of 2025,the trading company run by Ms.Ruan in Chengdu wanted to import a batch of Japanese pharmaceutical cosmetics,and had no prior experience in import business,worrying about the return of goods due to non-compliant documents.The Zhongshen team did three things:

First,during the pre-examination,it was found that its "non-special cosmetics filing certificate" had expired for 3 months.They immediately assisted in contacting the overseas supplier to reapply,and obtained the new filing certificate in only 7 days;

Second,during customs declaration,they helped apply for the "green channel" of Chengdu Customs,completed customs clearance within 24 hours after advance declaration,avoiding port queuing;

Finally,during commodity inspection and sampling,they prepared the samples that met the requirements in advance,obtained the qualified test report within 5 working days,and the goods smoothly entered the cooperative warehouse in Chengdu.

Eventually,the goods arrived at the warehouse 7 days earlier than expected.Ms.Ruan said: "I thought imports would take a month to get through,but I didn’t expect it to be done in 20 days.If I had done it myself,I would probably still be revising the documents now."

## Summary: Professional Agencies Make Chengdu Cosmetics Imports More Worry-free

In 2026,the competition in the Chengdu cosmetics import market has intensified,and enterprises not only need to compete for supply sources,but also avoid compliance risks.With 20 years of industry experience,Zhongshen can accurately control the requirements of each link,help enterprises improve customs clearance efficiency by more than 30%,and reduce losses caused by document errors and incorrect tariff calculations.For Chengdu’s cosmetics import enterprises,choosing the right agency company is to turn "import difficulties" into "growth opportunities".
