Food and cosmetic imports are sensitive because of labeling, safety, and compliance expectations. The best way to avoid trouble is to verify rules before shipping.
1. Labeling and product information
Labels should be clear and consistent with invoices and product specifications. Missing or misleading labels often cause holds.
2. Documentation essentials
Invoice, packing list, product ingredients/specs, manufacturing and expiry details where applicable, and transport documents.
3. Permits, standards, and approvals
Some products require approvals or standards compliance checks. Verify requirements based on HS codes and product type.
4. HS code and valuation considerations
Correct classification prevents duty mistakes and reduces additional scrutiny.
5. Practical import tips
Share product photos/specs early with your broker, and do a pre-shipment compliance review.
