The customs declaration of imported cosmetics is briefly explained here:
(1) Determine the HS code of the relevant cosmetics, check the regulatory conditions, tax rates, etc., and determine whether it is necessary to apply for special import certificates based on the regulatory conditions.
(2) Check or ask the overseas manufacturer for detailed declaration elements of the imported cosmetics, such as product name, use, material, brand, model, global trade item code, chemical substance registration code, and other (non-essential declaration elements, please fill in according to the actual situation).
(3) Determine the tax rate, whether it is necessary to pay consumption tax, etc.
