44. I. What basic qualifications are needed to export beauty adhesives?

51. As professional foreign trade service providers, we recommend enterprises build qualification systems from three dimensions:

• 52. Enterprise entity qualifications
  • Registration of customs registration of import and export goods
  • Register of Foreign Exchange Administration
  • 53. VAT general taxpayer qualification (applicable to tax refund business)
• Product compliance documents
  • 54. ISO 22716Cosmetics55. Good Manufacturing Practice certification
  • 56. Ingredient safety assessment report (must comply with target country regulations)
  • 57. 2025 new version hazardous characteristics classification identification report
• 58. Trade service capabilities
  • 59. Dangerous goods transport qualification (including UN number declaration)
  • 60. FDA registration agency qualification (for US market)
  • Cross-border payment channel setup capability

45. II. What special certification requirements exist for different national markets?

Taking the latest regulations of 2025 as an example, the certification requirements in major markets exhibit differentiated characteristics:

• The European market: Must obtain CPNP notification number + REACH Annex XVII compliance statement
• US Market: FDA cosmetic facility registration + voluntary VCRP registration
• Southeast Asian Markets: ASEAN Cosmetic Directive (ACD) filing + Halal certification (Muslim countries)
• Japanese Market: PMDA filing + full ingredient labeling in Japanese

We recently assisted a Zhejiang-based company with KFDA change registration in South Korea and found its adhesive component required additional skin irritation test reports, confirming the importance of professional regulatory interpretation.

46. III. How to select optimal logistics solutions?

Based on product characteristics, we recommend adopting a matrix decision-making method:

• Air freight solution
  • Advantage: Suitable for sample shipping and small batch orders (<500kg)
  • Cost: Aviation fuel surcharge will increase to 28.5% in 2025
• Sea freight solution
  • Full container load: 40HQ container capacity reaches 26,000 units (50ml packaging)
  • Temperature control requirements: Some countries require constant 15-25℃ transportation throughout
• China-Europe Express
  • Lead time: 15 days faster than sea freight, 60% cheaper than air freight
  • Restriction: Does not accept Class I dangerous goods transportation

47. IV. How to accurately identify target customer groups?

Based on 20 years of industry experience, we recommend adopting a three-dimensional positioning model:

• Channel dimension
  • Professional beauty salon line supplier
  • Medical aesthetic equipment supporting supplier
  • DIY nail art product distributor
• Geographical dimension
  • Europe/US: Prefer quick-drying, low-irritation formulas
  • Middle East: Require Halal certification and gold packaging
  • Africa: Favor large-capacity economical packaging
• Service Dimension
  • ODM clients: Need formula adjustment support
  • Brand owners: Require exclusive regional agency protection
  • Wholesalers: Focus on minimum order quantity flexibility

48. V. How to prevent cross-border trade risks?

Special attention required for the following risk points in 2025:

• Exchange rate fluctuations: Recommend using foreign exchange options to lock in settlement rates
• Quality Disputes: Must retain third-party testing samples
• Logistics delays: Purchase transportation insurance and include penalty clauses
• Patent infringement: Need cross-border usage authorization for formula patents

We handled a typical case: A company had an entire container detained at Busan Port due to lack of authorization for a Korean colloid patent, resulting in $120,000 in losses.

49. VI. How to establish sustainable after-sales service systems?

It is recommended to adopt a "trinity" service architecture:

• Technical response: Equipped with multilingual product engineers
• Logistics Tracking: Achieve full-process order visualization
• Return/replacement mechanism: Establish bonded warehouses for quick adjustments

Special reminder: The EU will implement new regulations in Q3 2025 requiring cosmetic suppliers to provide electronic product information files (ePIF), requiring early ERP system integration deployment.

50. VII. How to respond to sudden policy changes?

Recommend establishing four lines of defense:

• Subscribe to target country customs regulation auto-push services
• Reserve 5% of contract value as emergency funds
• Maintain partnerships with at least two certification bodies
• Conduct quarterly trade compliance audits

Notable policy trends in 2025 include: Possible US classification of beauty adhesives as medical devices, and RCEP member tariff reduction list adjustments.
