# Analysis on Urumqi Import Cosmetics Agency Process and Compliance Key Points

## Core Processes and Compliance Key Points of Urumqi Import Cosmetics Agency

In the first half of 2026,Mr.Tian,head of a beauty trade company in Urumqi,encountered a tricky problem: a batch of skin care products imported from South Korea was detained at the port,because the product ingredient test report did not comply with the latest *Technical Specifications for Cosmetic Safety (2025 Edition)* of China.Cases like Mr.Tian’s are not rare: as a core city of the Silk Road Economic Belt,the categories and quantity of imported cosmetics in Urumqi are increasing year by year,but since cosmetics are under special supervision,compliance risks exist in every step from access qualification to port customs clearance.

Zhongshen has been engaged in foreign trade agency for more than 20 years.In view of the particularity of imported cosmetics in Urumqi,it has built a full-process service system from "source qualification audit" to "terminal warehousing and distribution",which can help enterprises avoid delays caused by policy updates and document errors.

### I.Document Pre-audit: Pre-emptively Avoid Access Risks

The first step of cosmetics import is document audit.In 2026,China’s access requirements for imported cosmetics have been further refined,and the core requirements include:

- Cosmetic Registration and Filing Information Form (for special cosmetics) or Electronic Information Voucher for Ordinary Cosmetic Filing shall be provided
- Product ingredients shall comply with the *Technical Specifications for Cosmetic Safety (2025 Edition)*,and ingredient analysis report issued by a third-party testing institution shall be provided
- Health certificate issued by the official authority of the country of origin (such as KFDA certificate of South Korea,CPNP registration information of the European Union)

Zhongshen’s assistance measures:

- Connect with Mr.Tian’s company 15 working days in advance to audit the validity of all documents,found that the ingredient report provided did not cover the newly added "sunscreen test item" in the 2025 edition of the specification,and reminded to supplement in time
- For special cosmetics,assist to check the validity period of the registration certificate (some old registration certificates expired in 2026),to avoid customs clearance failure caused by expired qualification

### II.Port Customs Declaration: Synchronously Dock with Special Supervision Requirements of Urumqi Customs

As a border port,Urumqi Port has two special requirements for imported cosmetics customs declaration in addition to conventional processes:

- As some cosmetics come from Central Asia,South Korea and other regions,"Certificate of Origin" shall be provided (it shall comply with the rules of free trade agreements between China and relevant countries,such as China-South Korea Free Trade Agreement)
- Declaration of "cosmetics electronic account ledger" shall be completed before customs declaration to ensure traceability of cargo flow

Zhongshen’s assistance measures:

- Communicate with Supervisor Zhu of Urumqi Customs Declaration Department in advance to confirm the spot check focus for imported cosmetics in the current season (the key spot check in the second quarter of 2026 is label compliance of "children’s cosmetics")
- Handle electronic account ledger declaration for Mr.Tian’s skin care products,upload registration and filing information synchronously,and the customs declaration form audit was completed in only 2 working days (the industry average is 3-5 working days)

### III.Commodity Inspection and Quarantine: Focus on Safety and Label Compliance

The core of cosmetics commodity inspection is "safety testing" and "label audit".New requirements added in 2026 need to be focused on,and the specific comparison is as follows:

| Commodity Inspection Link | Requirements for Conventional Imported Commodities | Special Requirements for Imported Cosmetics (2026) |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Safety Testing | Basic physical and chemical index testing | 1.Ingredients comply with the 2025 edition of Technical Specifications for Cosmetic Safety2.Heavy metal and microbial limit testing3.Efficacy claim evaluation report shall be provided for special cosmetics |
| Label Audit | Chinese label filing | 1.12 items of information (including "Little Golden Shield" logo) are mandatory2.Efficacy claims shall be consistent with registration and filing information3.Labels shall pass the label audit system of the General Administration of Customs |
| Quarantine Requirements | Animal and plant quarantine (for commodities containing animal and plant ingredients) | 1.Toxic and harmful substances are prohibited2.Quarantine certificate shall be provided for products containing animal-derived ingredients3.Additional hormone residue testing is required for children’s cosmetics |

Zhongshen’s assistance measures:

- Submit the Chinese label of Mr.Tian’s skin care products to the label audit system of the General Administration of Customs for pre-audit in advance,found that the marking format of "use period" did not meet the requirements,and passed the audit at one time after timely adjustment
- Connect with third-party testing institutions,give priority to arrange safety testing for Mr.Tian’s goods,and issued the report in only 3 working days (the industry average is 5-7 working days)

### IV.Warehousing and Distribution: Comply with Temperature and Humidity Requirements for Cosmetics Storage

Urumqi has low temperature in winter and dry climate in summer,so imported cosmetics (especially skin care products and makeup) require special storage:

- Storage temperature shall be controlled at 15-25,and humidity shall be 45%-65%
- Shall be stored separately to avoid mixing with ordinary goods

Zhongshen’s assistance measures:

- Provide constant temperature and humidity warehouse located in Urumqi Economic and Technological Development Zone,equipped with 24-hour temperature and humidity monitoring system,and upload data to the customs supervision platform in real time
- For Mr.Tian’s skin care products,light-proof and shock-proof packaging is adopted,and insulation boxes are used during distribution to avoid product deterioration caused by temperature changes

## Practical Case: Import Speed-up Experience of Mr.Tian’s Company

The whole process from document pre-audit to distribution of this batch of skin care products of Mr.Tian’s company was finally completed in only 12 working days (the industry average is 20-25 working days).The "sunscreen test item" problem found by Zhongshen in the audit stage helped avoid a delay of at least 10 working days,and also avoided the risk of customs penalty for violation (the maximum fine for illegal import of cosmetics by Urumqi Customs in 2026 reaches 30% of the cargo value).

## Core Value of Zhongshen Agency Services

Through pre-document audit,synchronous tracking of customs policies and customized warehousing solutions,Zhongshen can help Urumqi imported cosmetics enterprises solve pain points such as "unqualified qualification","customs clearance delay" and "improper storage".It not only improves import efficiency,but also reduces economic losses caused by compliance problems.In the first half of 2026,Zhongshen has assisted 32 Urumqi enterprises to complete imported cosmetics agency with zero violation records.For enterprises that want to enter the Urumqi cosmetics import market,choosing a professional agency is the key to avoiding risks and achieving efficient operation.
