SPECIALIST CARGO · PRACTICAL PREPARATION
Skincare, makeup, perfume
& hazmat shipping solutions.
Tell us what is inside the cartons. Product contents, packaging and shipment size determine the transport review, the documents required and the qualified route.
View documents & packing →- 01Skincare & personal care
Creams, serums, lotions and shampoos: confirm contents, container sizes, seals and packed weight.
- 02Makeup & beauty inventory
Solid, liquid and powder products: separate the SKU list and protect fragile cases and glass.
- 03Perfume, alcohol & aerosols (DG)
Perfume, alcohol-based products and aerosols move as dangerous goods on qualified routes. We review the SDS, confirm UN packaging requirements and consolidate DG cargo separately before a route is booked.
MoCRA & FDA COMPLIANCE
MoCRA & FDA compliance
for cosmetics importing.
The Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act changed what US importers must confirm before beauty products enter the country. We review product details, labels and safety data at the quotation stage, so documentation gaps surface before your cargo leaves China, not at the port.
Product & label review
Product names, contents, label claims and facility details are checked against your invoice, packing list and entry records before booking.
- Product names, contents and label claims
- Facility and registration details
- Invoice, packing list and entry records
MoCRA registration flags
MoCRA requires facility registration and product listing for many cosmetics. We flag the documents your customs broker will request and keep cargo descriptions consistent across every record.
- Facility registration and product listing
- Responsible person and contact details
- Adverse-event and record keeping
Amazon & DTC sellers
Selling on Amazon or your own store adds delivery and compliance requirements. We plan FBA and 3PL delivery around appointment rules, carton labels and pallet specifications.
- FBA shipment and appointment planning
- Carton labels and pallet specifications
- Marketplace compliance documents
MoCraShip is a freight forwarder, not a regulatory consultant. Product compliance obligations remain with the importer of record; we coordinate the shipping side and flag documentation gaps early.
COST & TRANSIT · CHINA TO USA
LCL, FCL & air freight compared.
Typical ranges for cosmetics cargo moving from China to the USA. Confirmed schedules and rates are quoted per shipment once cargo details, route and delivery address are reviewed.
| Service | Best for | Typical transit | What to confirm |
|---|---|---|---|
| LCL sea freight | Restocks of 1–15 CBM | US West Coast 18–25 days port-to-port; US East 28–35 days | Shared container space; lowest cost per CBM |
| FCL (20′ / 40′) | Programs above 15 CBM | Similar sailing windows, plus a few days for devanning | Dedicated container, no cargo sharing |
| Air freight | Urgent restocks and samples | 5–8 days door-to-door | Highest cost; liquids and aerosols follow air DG rules |
| Door-to-door / DDP | Sellers who want one quote | Transit + clearance + final delivery, quoted per lane | Duties and tax responsibility confirmed in writing |
Ranges are industry-typical planning figures, not guaranteed transit times. Ask for the complete timeline, not only the time at sea.

YOUR SHIPPING QUESTIONS
Cosmetics shipping FAQ: MoCRA, duties & delivery.
Start with your cargo. The right answer depends on the product, shipment size, origin and receiving address.
Shipping requirements →Do I need a freight forwarder to ship cosmetics from China to the USA?
For commercial cosmetics, a specialist freight forwarder handles the steps that most importers can’t do alone — supplier collection in Guangzhou or Shenzhen, product/SDS review, LCL or FCL booking, dangerous-goods consolidation for perfume and aerosols, US entry documents, and door-to-door delivery to a warehouse or FBA hub. MoCraShip is a cosmetics-only freight forwarder on the China–USA lane, so acceptance, route and duties are confirmed in a single written quote.
Can cosmetics be shipped from China to the USA?
Commercial cosmetics shipments can be reviewed for a China–USA shipping plan. Product characteristics, packaging and the available route determine acceptance. Share the product list before arranging supplier dispatch.
What about liquids, perfume and aerosols?
Perfume, alcohol-based products and aerosols move as dangerous goods on qualified routes. Supply container sizes, product information and an SDS; we confirm UN packaging needs and DG consolidation before the route is booked.
What information is needed for a quote?
Product names, carton count, packed weight and dimensions, China pickup city and US ZIP code. Include any supplier collection, pallet or delivery appointment requirements.
Does a shipping quote cover every destination cost?
Check the written quote for origin handling, ocean freight, destination handling and delivery. DDP door-to-door quotes bundle duties, taxes and delivery into one price. Confirm taxes, inspections, storage and other conditional charges separately.
