Why choose air freight for shipping cosmetics?

Understanding the complexities

Cosmetics are classified as "sensitive cargo" for several critical reasons:

1. Regulatory hurdles: The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) governs the import of cosmetics. While pre-approval isn't required like for drugs, your products and their ingredients must be safe for consumer use and properly labeled. The FDA can detain shipments at the border if they suspect non-compliance.

2. Customs clearance intricacies: Accurate HS codes and a detailed commercial invoice are non-negotiable. Misclassification can lead to incorrect duty payments and lengthy customs examinations.

3. Safety and Compliance: Many cosmetic products contain flammable, pressurized, or otherwise restricted materials (e.g., setting spray, nail polishes). These are classified as "Dangerous Goods" (DG) and require special documentation, packaging, and handling under IATA (International Air Transport Association) regulations.

4. Preservation of Product integrity: Cosmetics are vulnerable to temperature fluctuations, humidity, and physical damage.
