Transportation of perfumes and cosmetics

Many cosmetics and perfumes have a complex chemical composition and are highly sensitive to temperature fluctuations. Violation of the conditions of transportation and storage leads to the fact that cosmetics lose their consumer properties, and in some cases even become dangerous to health.

The company VBK takes into account this feature of perfume and cosmetic products and organizes the transportation of appropriate cargoes with the maintenance of a certain temperature regime. Adapted refrigerated vehicles and containers protect the product from temperature variation and the negative impact of the external environment.

Another feature of cosmetics and perfumes is their high cost. Many types of perfumes and cosmetics, especially luxury goods, are classified as high value cargo. To ensure their safety during delivery, VBK only engages trusted transport service providers.

The third feature of perfume and cosmetic products is that some types of such products are classified as dangerous goods. In particular, some perfumes (perfumes, eau de toilette) are made on the basis of volatile flammable substances. Easily flammable perfume base belongs to the third class of dangerous substances according to the ADR classification. Compliance with special conditions for storage and handling of such goods ensures their safety and security during transportation.

Features of customs clearance of perfumes and cosmetics

Cosmetics and perfumes are products that are subject to sanitary and epidemiological expertise at border crossing the border of the Russian Federation.

In addition to the customs Declaration, each type of product must be accompanied by an expert conclusion.

Since the legislation in different countries regulates the production and sale of perfumes and cosmetics in completely different ways, customers will need to go through all the approval procedures to confirm that the product does not pose any danger, does not violate the law and can be sold on the territory of the Russian Federation. For customs clearance of perfume and cosmetic products and their further sale on the territory of the Russian Federation, a certificate of compliance with technical regulations (a certificate of safety of cosmetic products) is required.

It should also be taken into account that the customs clearance of cosmetics of some brands requires a permit for transportation from the trademark owner.

Some types of cosmetics and perfumes require special storage conditions (freezers or dry rooms). In this case, it is necessary to issue a customs Declaration as soon as possible by filing a preliminary goods declaration.

Not all customs posts have the right to customs clearance of cosmetics and perfumes: customs clearance can only be carried out where a laboratory is equipped for examination.
