Ordering and Delivering Cosmetics from China to Ukraine

The range of products is impressive:

  1. Face care: masks, serums, emulsions, creams, cleansing gels and foams, under-eye patches and creams.
  2. Body care: lotions and creams, scrubs, peels, deodorants.
  3. Hair care: shampoos, balms, masks, styling products.
  4. Makeup: foundations, powders, eyeshadows, eyeliners, lipsticks, tints, pencils.
  5. Nail products: gel polishes and classic nail polishes, accessories for nail and cuticle care.
  6. Beauty tools: brushes, sponges, massagers (gua sha, rollers), and a huge selection of beauty gadgets.

One of the most well-known brands is Bioaqua. Products from Rorec, Focallure, Purc, Sadoer, and Herborist are also frequently ordered. Another option is private label cosmetics from China. Many companies collaborate with Chinese factories and then sell the goods under their own brands. This format is suitable even for small businesses — just look for manufacturers with low MOQ.

A short guide on how to order cosmetics wholesale from China:

  1. Finding suppliers in China. It’s important to find a wholesaler or go directly to the factory. Since the production must be sterile, we recommend sending independent agents for inspection.
  2. Getting testers (trial batch) to check the quality. As DiFFreight provides warehouse services in China, our team will create a photo and video report for you. You won’t need to waste time on a long trip!
  3. Placing a full order with split payment. We usually recommend paying 30–70% after the batch is inspected. Avoid full prepayment — it’s not reliable.
  4. Consolidation is the most cost-effective method for cosmetics. Since the products are compact and easy to pack, they can be combined with other goods. This makes sea shipping even cheaper.
  5. Shipping from China to Ukraine with tracking and manager support. Check your tracking number in the chatbot anytime!
  6. Logistics within Ukraine includes delivery to our warehouse. By agreement, the cosmetics can also be delivered directly to your e-commerce warehouse or door.

DiFFreight provides turnkey logistics: product sourcing in China, warehousing, transportation, and customs clearance with our brokers. Leave logistics to professionals and focus on growing your business.

Information About Certification of Chinese Cosmetics

The regulation of cosmetic products in Ukraine is harmonized with EU legislation. If you want to sell legally — including on marketplaces — you need to:

  • Find a reliable supplier with a GMP certificate (ISO 22716). This is the most important document proving the product is tested and manufactured in sterile conditions with safe components.
  • Determine a “responsible person” (this can be you as a sole proprietor/legal entity or an importing company).
  • Collect or create the Product Information File (PIF). You’ll also need to order a safety assessment in a certified lab.
  • Notify the product on the portal of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine.
  • Apply correct labeling to the packaging according to Ukrainian legislation.
  • Organize legal import and customs clearance by providing all necessary documents (invoice, packing list, contract, shipping docs, etc.).

If you’re unsure how to correctly handle exports from China, contact DiFFreight — we’ll help you get all the required certificates.

Common Mistakes Beginners Make and How to Avoid Them

Extremely cheap wholesale cosmetics from China are tempting — it seems so profitable! But behind the low prices often lie problems you can avoid:

  • Unreliable supplier or factory

Many claim to have GMP or ISO certificates, but in reality, they don’t. There’s also a risk of dealing with a fake company, scammers, or simply dishonest sellers.

Tip from DiFFreight: request verification of legal status, business license, and a factory inspection.

  • Low product quality — or even danger to the consumer

The same supplier may have fluctuating quality between batches, so it’s essential to inspect deliveries. Cosmetics may contain banned or potentially harmful ingredients, be past their expiration date, or lack complete documentation.

Tip from DiFFreight: before placing a large order, import a small batch and test it in a lab.

  • High shipping costs

Cosmetics are a highly profitable niche, but expensive delivery can eat up all the profit. On the other hand, extremely cheap rates are risky too — your goods might get damaged or lost.

Tip from DiFFreight: choose only reliable logistics providers with reasonable rates. We fix the price in the contract!

  • Mass production without market testing

Don’t rush into producing dozens of batches until you’ve tested demand. First, probe the market — it’s a highly competitive niche.

Tip from DiFFreight: find a supplier or factory that can manufacture in quantities tailored to your needs.

  • Business difficulties with China: payments, logistics management, warehousing

Shipping cosmetics from China is a complex process in both route length and documentation. Work with intermediaries — it’s far more cost-effective in terms of financial risk and time.

Tip from DiFFreight: don’t make the same mistake many beginners do — without proper knowledge and experience, placing an order in the local market is unlikely to succeed.
