# Nanning Cosmetics Import Customs Clearance Agency: Full Process Analysis and Key Link Control

## Market Status and Customs Clearance Challenges of Cosmetics Import in Nanning

In recent years,relying on the long-term effects of the China-ASEAN Expo and its regional geographical advantages,Nanning’s cosmetics import business has shown a steady growth trend.The source of goods has expanded from traditional South Korea,Japan,Europe and the United States to Southeast Asia.However,as cosmetics are products that directly contact the human body,their import supervision has always been in a strict category.In 2026,the General Administration of Customs and the National Medical Products Administration have made several detailed adjustments to the regulations on imported cosmetics,involving multiple aspects such as ingredient safety assessment,label identification,and efficacy claims.

For import enterprises in Nanning,challenges usually focus on several aspects.Documents provided by overseas suppliers often do not meet the official Chinese format and content requirements; the professional threshold for compliance review of cosmetics ingredients is high,and the supervision paths for non-special cosmetics and special cosmetics are completely different; the production and filing process of Chinese labels is cumbersome,and the on-site inspection of labels at Nanning ports is quite strict; in addition,if logistics details such as temperature and humidity control during transportation and storage conditions are not handled properly,it may lead to product deterioration or inspection failure.

## Core Value of Professional Agencies in Cosmetics Import

Facing the above-mentioned systematic problems,it is difficult to deal with them solely by relying on the importer itself or ordinary logistics companies.The core value of Zhongshen’s professional agency service lies in integrating scattered links into a controllable process.We do not simply transfer documents,but based on in-depth understanding of regulations,intervene in the front end of the supply chain in advance,standardize from the source of document preparation,and provide seamlessly connected operations and risk control at all nodes of customs declaration,inspection,logistics,storage,foreign exchange payment and tax refund.

For example,before signing the contract,our customs team will pre-review the product ingredient list and assess its compliance risks; before the goods arrive at the port,the complete set of customs declaration and inspection documents has been prepared and pre-reviewed; during goods inspection,the on-site coordinator will accompany and cooperate with customs and commodity inspection officials for efficient communication.This full-intervention model can significantly shorten customs clearance time and reduce the risks of delayed declaration,return or even administrative punishment caused by document errors or false declarations.

## Phased Practical Analysis of Cosmetics Import Customs Declaration and Inspection

### Phase 1: Preparatory Work and Document Pre-review

This phase starts before the goods are shipped,and is the foundation for determining whether the entire import process is smooth.Importers need to provide basic trade documents such as packing list,invoice,contract and certificate of origin from foreign suppliers.For cosmetics,the most critical are **Free Sale Certificates issued by foreign official or third-party institutions**,**ingredient formula list** and **safety commitment letter**.

![How to Solve Common Problems and Risks in Nanning Cosmetics Import Customs Clearance](https://cndpic.sh-zhongshen.com/uploads/tradepics/yYCdjzN3CXTgR.webp)

The operation of Zhongshen is that a dedicated person conducts a preliminary review of these technical documents.The focus is to check whether each ingredient in the formula list is included in China’s Catalog of Cosmetics Raw Materials Allowed for Use,and whether its use concentration meets the limit requirements of the Cosmetics Safety Technical Specifications.If it involves special uses such as sunscreen,freckle removal,hair dyeing,etc.we will remind customers in advance to prepare the corresponding **Administrative License Approval Documents for Special Cosmetics**.Last year,when we reviewed a batch of Korean facial masks for a customer Ms.Ke,we found that its ingredients contained the restricted substance resorcinol,but the concentration data provided by the supplier was vague.We immediately asked the Korean side to provide an accurate test report issued by the laboratory,and arranged for shipment only after confirming compliance,avoiding the heavy loss of the entire batch being destroyed due to ingredient problems after the goods arrived at the port.

| Cosmetics Category | Core Supervision Documents | Zhongshen Pre-review Key Points |
| --- | --- | --- |
| General Cosmetics (Non-special) | Import Record Certificate for Non-special Cosmetics | Check the consistency between the record number and product information,confirm that the record has been completed |
| Special Cosmetics | Administrative License Approval Documents for Imported Special Cosmetics | Verify the validity of the approval document,corresponding product name and manufacturer |
| All Imported Cosmetics | Packing List,Invoice,Contract,Certificate of Origin,Free Sale Certificate | Ensure information consistency,prepare qualified Chinese translations for foreign language documents |

### Phase 2: Port Declaration and Customs Inspection

After the goods arrive at ports such as Nanning Wuxu International Airport or Qinzhou Port,they enter the actual customs clearance stage.We declare information such as commodity code,price and quantity to the customs based on the pre-reviewed documents.Accurate classification of cosmetics is crucial,as tariffs and value-added tax vary by category,and incorrect classification may trigger follow-up inspections.

The customs may issue an inspection order.During on-site inspection,officials will check whether the actual status of the goods matches the declaration,including brand,specification,quantity,appearance,etc.Our on-site staff will bring complete copies of documents to the scene and respond quickly to officials’ inquiries.For cosmetics,the customs pays special attention to whether there are infringement,smuggling or false declaration situations.Efficient on-site cooperation can greatly shorten the time of unpacking inspection and reduce the exposure of goods in supervised places.

### Phase 3: Quarantine Inspection and Label Filing

After the customs release,the goods enter the quarantine inspection process.This is one of the unique and most stringent links for cosmetics import.The customs department will conduct sampling inspection on cosmetics in accordance with national technical specifications,and the inspection items include safety indicators such as microorganisms,heavy metals,preservatives and hormones.

At the same time,**compliance of Chinese labels** is the key point of quarantine.The label must include legal information such as product name,country of origin,manufacturer,local responsible person,ingredients,shelf life,usage method,etc.and the format and font size have specifications.Zhongshen’s service includes pre-design review of labels to ensure that their content is completely consistent with the filing information.We assist importers in completing the label filing procedures,and provide supervision during the label pasting process to ensure that each product’s label is firmly pasted and in the correct position.Once,a customer Mr.You had his imported French perfume required to rectify during the quarantine process because the order of the ingredient list on the Chinese label was slightly different from the filing.We immediately coordinated the warehouse,organized personnel to reprint and paste the labels overnight,completed the rectification and passed the re-inspection within a week,avoiding order default.

- Step 1: Filing for consignors and consignees.Assist importers in completing the import and export consignor and consignee filing in the customs system before the goods arrive at the port.
- Step 2: Cosmetics filing or registration.Complete non-special cosmetics filing or apply for special cosmetics approval documents according to the product nature.
- Step 3: Chinese label design and filing.Produce label samples that comply with regulations and submit them to the system for filing.
- Step 4: Port customs clearance.Declare,pay taxes and cooperate with customs inspection.
- Step 5: Quarantine inspection.Conduct sampling and inspection,wait for the laboratory to issue a qualified report.
- Step 6: Label pasting and conformity assessment.After passing the inspection,paste Chinese labels under supervision.
- Step 7: Goods pickup.After completing all procedures,the goods can be picked up from the port and enter domestic storage or sales.

## Practical Experience in Risk Avoidance and Efficiency Improvement

The risks of cosmetics import are lagging,often exposed only after the goods arrive at the port or even are put on the market.Professional agency services can resolve these risk points in advance through pre-review and process control.In addition to the aforementioned ingredient and label issues,another common risk lies in **price declaration**.Some importers underreport prices to reduce costs,but the customs has strict price review ranges for well-known cosmetics brands.Zhongshen’s customs manager Manager Tu will provide professional declared price suggestions based on the brand,model and market situation,and prepare complete materials such as foreign exchange payment vouchers and brand authorization letters for inspection,ensuring that the declared price can withstand questioning and protecting the enterprise’s credit.

In terms of efficiency improvement,we have reduced the document circulation time by about 40% through standardized operation processes and electronic systems.For example,after all documents are scanned into the system,customs declaration,logistics and financial personnel can access them synchronously for collaborative work.For customers with long-term import business in Nanning,we will establish exclusive files to record their product characteristics,past customs clearance records and common problems,realizing "one review,multiple reuse",and the customs clearance speed of similar products in the future is significantly accelerated.
