Cosmetics must comply with strict sanitary and hygienic requirements, as they are intended for application to the human body. Customs clearance must be completed as quickly as possible, as many types require specific transportation and storage conditions (humidity, temperature). It is not recommended to attempt this procedure independently: you must be familiar with the law, understand the numerous nuances, be able to work with specific documentation, quickly find information, and use it correctly. For example, the amount of duties and taxes depends on the correct classification of goods according to the Commodity Nomenclature of Foreign Economic Activity (CN VED). The slightest error in the declaration can lead to the seizure or detention of the entire shipment until the circumstances are clarified, sometimes accompanied by fines and other complications.

To conduct export and import transactions involving perfumes and cosmetics, you must register with customs as a participant in foreign economic activity (this is a one-time procedure).
