# Full Process Analysis of Imported Cosmetics Agency Services for Enterprises in Guangshan County and In-depth Sorting of Compliance Key Points

## 1.Current Situation of Imported Cosmetics Market and Customs Clearance Difficulties in Guangshan County

In 2026,the demand for imported cosmetics in Guangshan County and surrounding areas shows an obvious upward trend.Skincare,makeup and hair & body care products imported from major origins such as South Korea,Japan and France maintain growing sales in local retail channels and e-commerce platforms.However,in actual import operations,enterprises generally face three types of core obstacles: first,complex regulatory documents.Ordinary lotions and creams require registration and filing with the National Medical Products Administration,which takes as long as 3 to 6 months.Second,strict label and ingredient review.Chinese labels must be printed in advance and cannot cover the original labels,and any prohibited substance in the ingredient list will lead to the return of the entire batch.Third,high port inspection rate.Major ports such as Shanghai and Guangzhou implement 100% unpacking inspection for cosmetics imported for the first time,and damaged packaging or inconsistent documents will trigger detention.

These difficulties directly push up the trial and error costs of enterprises.If a batch of skincare products worth 500,000 yuan is detained due to label defects,the daily demurrage and storage fees can exceed 3,000 yuan,and enterprises may also face indirect losses from delayed sales schedules.What is more challenging is that in 2026,the customs has more detailed credit ratings for cosmetics import enterprises,and one violation record may affect the inspection rate for the following six months.

## 2.Core Role of Zhongshen in Cosmetics Import Agency Services

After Zhongshen takes over the project,the primary task is to establish a pre-compliance mechanism.At the stage when the customer has confirmed the purchase intention but has not yet signed the contract,we will obtain the complete product materials of the overseas supplier,including the original formula list,production process description,free sales certificate of the exporting country,etc.to conduct preliminary compliance screening.This step can identify more than 80% of potential risk points in advance.For example,a whitening essence of a South Korean brand had excessive alpha-arbutin concentration,which is a key monitoring item of the market supervision department of Guangshan County.We suggested adjusting the formula or abandoning the introduction at the pre-audit stage,avoiding subsequent losses of hundreds of thousands of yuan for the customer.

Second,Zhongshen has opened up the full-chain service interface covering registration and filing,customs declaration and inspection,and foreign exchange settlement.Cosmetics import is not simple port customs clearance,but involves the coordination of multiple departments such as the drug administration,customs,and foreign exchange administration.We implement a project team system internally,with dedicated personnel following up the filing progress of each product and preparing customs declaration documents simultaneously,to ensure that once the filing certificate is approved,the goods can be declared immediately after arriving at the port,realizing "zero waiting" connection.This parallel operation mode can usually shorten the overall cycle by 15 to 20 days for customers.

## 3.Disassembly of the Full Process of Imported Cosmetics and Key Compliance Points

### 3.1 Document Pre-audit and Registration & Filing

The core of the document stage is "accuracy and completeness".Taking a batch of toners for sensitive skin imported from Japan as an example,12 core documents are required: documents proving that the product is allowed to be produced and sold in the country of origin,product formula list accurate to the percentage of each ingredient,product quality and safety control requirements,product inspection report,naming basis of the Chinese name of the product,original product packaging and Chinese label draft,etc.Zhongshen’s operating practice is that after receiving the original documents provided by the customer,we will not submit them directly,but carry out three rounds of internal review first: the first round checks whether the formula involves 1293 substances listed in the Catalogue of Prohibited Raw Materials for Cosmetics; the second round checks whether the Chinese label meets the specific requirements on font size and warning statement position specified in the Measures for the Administration of Cosmetics Labels; the third round simulates the perspective of customs document review to verify the logical consistency between documents,such as whether the total proportion of ingredients in the formula list equals 100%,and whether the product name completely matches the name in the filing system.

In the registration and filing link,the regulatory trend in 2026 is "accelerated digitalization but stricter substantive review".Zhongshen will submit materials through the online filing system of the National Medical Products Administration in advance,and mail paper documents to the designated inspection institution offline at the same time.The key tip is that we select different inspection institutions according to product types.For example,sun protection products are sent to an institution in Beijing,and ordinary skincare products are sent to an institution in Shanghai.We leverage our familiarity with the review standards of each institution to improve the one-time pass rate.During the entire filing cycle,we will push weekly progress reports to customers,including node status such as data receipt,technical review,and on-site verification if required.

### 3.2 Port Customs Declaration,Commodity Classification and Price Review

The most problematic points in the customs declaration link are commodity classification and price declaration.The HS Codes of cosmetics are concentrated in chapters 3303,3304,3305 and 3307,but the specific subdivision is extremely complex.A lipstick with sun protection ingredients should be classified under 3304.9900; if it is only ordinary makeup,it should be classified under 3304.1000.The tax rate difference can reach 5 percentage points.Zhongshen’s customs declaration team will obtain the complete technical specification of the product in advance,confirm whether it contains special functional ingredients,and then determine the most accurate HS Code.In 2026,the customs has strengthened the price review of cosmetics,especially for brands imported from South Korea,the customs will refer to the average price of South Korean exports to China in the same period.We will guide customers to provide complete pricing basis,including factory invoices,brand authorization letters,freight and insurance details,to build a reasonable price chain and avoid being questioned by the customs for low-price declaration.

In filling in declaration elements,we adhere to the principle of "multi-dimensional description".In addition to basic information such as product name,specification and brand,we will also supplement extended elements such as "whether it is retail packaging","whether it contains endangered species ingredients","whether it is for medical use",etc.Although this detailed declaration method increases the preliminary workload,it can significantly reduce the probability of manual intervention during inspection.Data shows that for declarations adopting this method,the inspection rate can be reduced from an average of 30% to less than 12%.

### 3.3 Inspection and Quarantine and Label Verification

After cosmetics arrive at the port,inspection and quarantine is the node with the highest risk.In 2026,the random inspection rate of microbial indicators,heavy metal content and preservative use of cosmetics imported for the first time by the customs has increased to 40%.Zhongshen’s strategy is "active submission for inspection and early intervention".Before the goods arrive at the port,we will predict possible test items according to product characteristics and prepare samples of the same batch in advance.Once the customs issues a test instruction,we can respond immediately and send the samples to the designated laboratory to save test time.Generally,microbial testing takes 5 working days,and heavy metal testing takes 7 working days.Our advance preparation can save 2 to 3 days of waiting time for each batch of goods.

In terms of label verification,the customs will check on site whether the Chinese label is firmly affixed,whether the content is consistent with the original label,and whether it contains necessary information including product name,ingredient list,net content,shelf life,registration and filing number,and agent information.Before the goods are loaded,Zhongshen will require the overseas factory to print or affix the Chinese label according to the approved draft,and provide photos or videos of the label affixing process.After the goods arrive at the port,we will also send dedicated personnel to the site to assist the customs in inspection,carrying documents such as label review reports and filing certificates with them,to realize immediate response to questions and avoid delays caused by poor communication.

### 3.4 Warehouse Management and Logistics Distribution

Cosmetics have specific requirements for storage environment,especially products containing active ingredients,which need to be protected from light and controlled at a constant temperature of 15-25usually.Zhongshen has a GSP-compliant constant temperature warehouse in the Shanghai Free Trade Zone,which can provide temporary storage services for customers after the goods arrive at the port.The warehouse implements zone management,and imported cosmetics are stored separately to avoid cross-contamination.When each batch of goods is put into storage,we will record detailed temperature and humidity data and generate a storage report,which can be used as proof of stable product quality in the subsequent sales process.

For the logistics link of distribution to Guangshan County,we adopt the mode of "full-truck direct delivery + regional distribution".For large batches of goods,we arrange full-truck transportation directly from Shanghai to the designated warehouse in Guangshan County; for small-batch and multi-batch orders,we first send the goods to the regional distribution center in Zhengzhou,and then transfer them to Guangshan County.GPS temperature-controlled vehicles are used throughout the journey to ensure that the transportation process meets the product storage requirements.At the same time,we will handle cargo transportation insurance for customers,covering all risks from the port to the warehouse in Guangshan County.

## 4.Practical Case: Manager Fu’s Import Customs Clearance Experience

Manager Fu runs a beauty chain store in Guangshan County.In early 2026,he planned to introduce a skincare series featuring hot spring water from Japan,with a total of 5 SKUs,and the first batch of goods was worth about 800,000 yuan.He initially tried to handle the import procedures by himself,but encountered obstacles at the filing stage: a plant extract in the submitted formula list was not marked with the specific scientific name of the species,so the application was returned by the National Medical Products Administration; after modification,he submitted it again,but it was rejected again because the efficacy claim "soothing and repairing" on the Chinese label lacked sufficient scientific evidence.Two rounds of submission had taken nearly two months,and the shelf placement agreement he signed with the mall was about to expire.

After Zhongshen took over the project,we first organized a technical team to conduct in-depth review of the formula,and found that the plant extract was actually common mallow,which must be marked with the Latin name Malva sylvestris according to regulations.At the same time,we suggested adjusting the efficacy claim to "moisturizing skin",which not only conforms to the actual function of the product,but also avoids the risk of using medical terms.In terms of label design,we adopted the claim minimization strategy,only retaining necessary information to ensure passing the review at one time.After the filing was approved,the goods were shipped from Tokyo Port.We conducted commodity pre-classification with Shanghai Customs in advance,confirmed that the HS Code was 3304.9900,and prepared complete price review materials.After the goods arrived at the port,the customs focused on label issues during inspection.We presented the label review report and filing certificate on site,and the inspector released the goods quickly after verification.From taking over the project to the goods arriving at the warehouse in Guangshan County,the whole process only took 22 days.Manager Fu’s store opened as scheduled,and the first batch of products was sold out within two weeks.
