What We Source

💬 Frequently Asked Questions

Which regions in China are best for cosmetics and household chemicals?

Three key clusters, all accessible from our Zhongshan office:

Guangzhou (Guangdong) — 1 hour away. China’s largest hub: 1,800+ licensed factories. Dominant in mass-market skincare, makeup, personal care, and household cleaning OEM.

Shanghai — Multinational R&D center with top-tier compliance. Best for premium formulations requiring FDA, EC 1223/2009, and high-barrier GMP standards.

Jiangsu (Suzhou/Kunshan) — Specialized contract manufacturing for export to EU and US. Strong in certified production lines with full documentation packages for customs clearance.

What certifications and documents do I need for customs clearance when importing cosmetics?

Requirements vary by destination, but typical documentation includes:

Manufacturing & Quality: GMP ISO 22716 (cosmetics GMP), ISO 9001 (quality management). These certify the factory operates to international production standards.

Regulatory Registration: FDA facility registration (US), EU CPNP notification (EC 1223/2009), SASO Certificate of Conformity (GCC). Required BEFORE your goods ship.

Safety & Transport: MSDS / SDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) — mandatory for cosmetics containing alcohol, aerosols, or volatile compounds. Required by shipping lines for DG (dangerous goods) classification.

Export Documents: Certificate of Free Sale, Certificate of Origin (Form E/Form F for ASEAN/GCC), INCI ingredient listing, and COA (Certificate of Analysis) per batch.

We coordinate with factories to collect and verify all required documentation before shipment. Tell us your destination and product type — we’ll confirm exactly what you need and ensure the factory has it ready before loading.

Can you handle OEM/private label from formula to finished product?

Yes. Full turnkey across all three regions: formula R&D with stability testing, custom packaging design, regulatory doc preparation (FDA/CPNP/SASO/MSDS), and final production with pre-shipment QC. MOQ starts at 3,000-5,000 units per SKU depending on complexity.
