Sweden, the largest economy in Northern Europe, and Gothenburg Port, as the freight hub of the Scandinavian Peninsula, are the preferred gateway for cosmetics brands to enter the Nordic market. From lipstick, eye shadow to liquid foundation, the demand for Chinese cosmetics in the Nordic market continues to rise. However, exporting cosmetics to Sweden is far from simple as shipping ordinary goods - as an EU member state, Sweden has extremely strict regulations on imported cosmetics, including CPNP notification, EU responsible person (RP), and cosmetic safety report (CPSR), all of which are indispensable. In addition, Sweden's standard value-added tax is as high as 25%, which is one of the highest levels in the European Union; The label must be partially in Swedish; Cosmetics containing alcohol also involve the supervision of dangerous goods transportation.

Andaxun International Logistics has been deeply involved in the export of sensitive goods for more than ten years, relying on the advantages of the three major ports of Guangzhou, Dongguan, and Shenzhen to create an efficient shipping channel for cosmetics from China to Sweden. We offer flexible options for full container load (FCL) and less than container load (LCL), providing one-stop booking, customs clearance, sea freight, double clearance and tax inclusive, door-to-door full chain services to ensure the safe and compliant arrival of your cosmetics products in Gothenburg, Stockholm, and Malm ö!

1、 Shenzhen to Sweden cosmetics sea freight price and delivery time: one ticket, one negotiation, stable and reliable

Complex cosmetics category - alcoholic perfume belongs to Class 3 flammable liquid (UN 1266), and some skin care products containing essential oil or specific chemical components may be classified as Class 9 other dangerous goods (UN 3082). The logistics cost composition of sensitive goods such as alcoholic perfume is different from that of ordinary goods. Therefore, Andaxun does not adopt a fixed price, but insists on a personalized pricing model of "one ticket, one discussion" to tailor the most cost-effective transportation plan for you.

1. Price advantage:

-Tailored: Match the most suitable shipping company and route based on your specific cargo volume (FCL/LCL), cosmetics category, ingredient content, and other information

-Contracted shipowner resources: The company maintains long-term strategic cooperation with multiple mainstream shipping companies such as COSCO, MSC, MSK, EMC, ONE, etc., and has priority in dangerous goods cargo space. Contracted freight rate discounts are directly given to customers

-Transparent without concealment: The quotation includes ocean freight, port charges, document fees, dangerous goods surcharges, destination port customs clearance and delivery fees, etc. Each cost is clear and explicit

-Advantages of Double Clearance and Tax Protection: Full process customs clearance, customs duties, and delivery are included, eliminating the need for customers to handle complex Swedish tax declarations on their own

2. Timeframe reference (Shenzhen Yantian/Guangzhou Nansha/Dongguan Port → Gothenburg Port → Sweden wide):

|FCL sea freight | 30-42 days | The direct route from Shenzhen to Gothenburg Port is mature, with a journey time of about 25-35 days|

|LCL sea freight | 35-45 days | including LCL at the port of origin and unpacking time at the destination port|

|Door to door delivery | 38-48 days | Including 3-5 working days for customs clearance and 1-3 days for local delivery in Sweden|

*Note: The shipping efficiency is affected by force majeure such as weather, shipping company scheduling, and port congestion. The actual operation shall prevail. *

2、 Shenzhen to Sweden cosmetics sea clearance documents and processes: CPNP compliance is the "passport" for cosmetics to go abroad

Makeup exports to Sweden must prepare complete and compliant documents. The Swedish customs (Tullverket) have extremely strict scrutiny of imported goods, and many goods are often detained not because of tariff issues, but because of incomplete documents or non-standard declarations.

Step 1: Designate an EU Responsible Person (RP) - a rigid threshold for non EU businesses

According to the EU Cosmetics Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009, all cosmetics marketed in the EU must be registered under the CPNP by a Responsible Person (RP) located within the EU. RP can be a manufacturer, importer, or officially authorized third party, but must have EU legal subject qualification. Non EU companies are not allowed to register CPNP on their own. The responsibilities of RP include ensuring that products comply with EU regulations, preparing and maintaining Product Information File (PIF), submitting product information in the CPNP system, and cooperating with regulatory agencies to investigate and report adverse reactions. Our company can assist in connecting with EU compliance service providers.

Step 2: Cosmetic Safety Report (CPSR) - Prerequisite for CPNP Registration

The prerequisite for submitting CPNP is to complete the Cosmetic Safety Report (CPSR). CPSR is signed by qualified assessors to certify that the product is safe for human health under normal use conditions. The data preparation cycle usually takes 1-2 weeks. It is recommended that exporters initiate CPNP compliance preparations at least 2-3 months in advance.

Step 3: CPNP system notification - mandatory electronic filing, one-time registration for universal use across Europe

The responsible person logs into the official CPNP portal of the European Union and fills in product information online, including product name and category, INCI full ingredient list, product net content, responsible person information, country of origin, product function description, label sample, and CPSR report. After submission, the system immediately generates a unique CPNP notification number. The entire process does not require payment of official fees. Once there is a change in product information (such as formula adjustment), the CPNP record must be updated before the change takes effect. The Product Information File (PIF) must be kept by RP for at least 10 years.

1. Importer EORI filing: Ensure that the importer holds a valid Swedish EORI number and VAT tax registration number

4. Tax payment release: Payment of customs duties (for goods with a value exceeding 1300 Swedish kronor) and 25% value-added tax on behalf of others, with complete compliance documents released on the same day or within 2-3 days. Priority is given to customs clearance at Gothenburg Port, which has a processing efficiency 15% higher than Stockholm Port

5. End of line delivery: PostNord/DPD/Swedish local logistics delivery to Stockholm, Gothenburg, Malm ö and other locations throughout the country

3、 Shenzhen to Sweden Makeup Shipping Swedish Makeup Label Requirements

The Swedish Medical Products Agency (Swedish MPA) is responsible for overseeing the compliance of cosmetics in the Swedish market. According to Swedish cosmetics regulations, a part of the label must be in Swedish.

1. The label content must be in Swedish:

-Nominal content

-Shelf life label (reference to shelf life)

-Precautions for use

-Function/purpose of the product

2. The complete information that must be included in the label:

-Name and address of the responsible person (RP) (website cannot be replaced)

-Country of origin (imported products must be labeled)

-Net content (5 grams or less than 5 milliliters are exempt)

-Shelf life (≤ 30 months marked with hourglass symbol or "best before end";>30 months marked with PAO expiration date after opening)

-Precautions for use

-Batch number or reference number

-Product features (such as not clearly visible from the appearance)

-Ingredient list (INCI name, arranged in descending order of content to 1%, must be printed on the outer packaging)

-Essence allergen (essence listed in Annex III must be clearly marked)

Label design should pay attention to the presence of labels on both packaging and containers. It is prohibited to label the product with characteristic information that it does not possess.

4、 Packaging requirements for cosmetics shipped from Shenzhen to Sweden: quadruple protection, strict adherence to standards

Makeup products contain liquids, pastes, and powders, which experience severe turbulence and large temperature differences during sea transportation (cabin temperatures can reach over 50 ℃ in summer). Packaging must be strictly guarded against leakage and damage. According to the IMDG Code, the cosmetics containing alcohol (such as perfume and makeup spray) belong to Class 3 flammable liquid (UN 1266) and need to be packaged according to the dangerous goods standard. Some skincare products containing essential oils or specific chemical components may be classified as other dangerous goods in Class 9 (UN 3082).

1. The Four fold Protection Law:

|First layer: Inner packaging sealing | Bottle mouth with sealing cap+aluminum foil sealing, glass bottles wrapped with bubble wrap and placed in cardboard boxes with compartments; Fragile products such as powder/eye shadow plate shall be completely wrapped and fixed with sponge or pearl cotton; Powder items with double-layer sealing (aluminum foil bag+sealed can), desiccant can be placed inside the bag|

|Second layer: Leak proof bag/absorbent layer | Each item is additionally wrapped in a leak proof plastic bag, and after heat sealing, an inverted test is conducted to verify the sealing performance. Place sufficient absorbent pads or vermiculite as absorbent materials inside the packaging box, which can absorb liquids in case of leakage|

|Third layer: Outer box reinforcement | Five layer double anti corrugated cardboard boxes are selected, sealed with the letter "I", and the tape width is ≥ 5cm. The outer box is labeled with "Fragile", "Upward", and "Sun Resistant" in both Chinese and English; Liquid containing products also need to be labeled with a "liquid" label. Wooden pallets must have IPPC fumigation markings|

|Fourth layer: Dangerous goods compliance | Alcohol and other dangerous goods cosmetics must be packaged in UN specifications, with dangerous goods certificates/performance sheets prepared, and UN1266 numbers and Class 3 diamond shaped flammable liquid labels affixed to the outer box|

2. Packaging Core Tips:

-Single box control within 25kg

-The outer box and minimum packaging of the product must be labeled with "Made in China"

-Liquid/powder products must be accompanied by a complete MSDS

5、 Shenzhen to Sweden Makeup Shipping Precautions: Five Core Red Lines for Makeup Export to Sweden

1. CPNP+RP+CPSR are indispensable (the biggest difference from regular goods)

Makeup exports to Sweden must complete the CPNP notification before the product is launched. The responsible person (RP) must be designated, without RP, the product cannot be legally sold in the EU. It is recommended that exporters initiate compliance preparations at least 2-3 months in advance. Formula changes must update CPNP within 48 hours.

2. Swedish labels are a mandatory threshold (easily overlooked)

Sweden is an EU country that explicitly requires the use of Swedish language for label content. Key information such as net content, shelf life, usage precautions, and product functions must be labeled in Swedish. The Swedish Medicines Agency (MPA) is responsible for label compliance checks. Using only English will be deemed non compliant.

3. 25% value-added tax - the highest level of tax cost core in the European Union)

The standard VAT rate in Sweden is 25%, which is one of the highest levels in the European Union. Calculated based on the total amount after CIF and customs duty. Importers with Swedish VAT numbers can apply for deferred import value-added tax, and do not need to pay actual taxes during customs clearance. Instead, they can declare deductions on a quarterly basis. If the customer does not have local qualifications, our company can provide clearance services for local importers in Sweden.

4. Addition of EU new regulations in 2026 (dual changes in cost and compliance)

-Starting from July 1st, the tariff exemption for low value goods will be cancelled: imported packages with a value ≤ 150 euros will no longer be exempt from tariffs and will be subject to fixed tariffs instead

-From July 31, essence allergen amplification: from 26 to 82, the label, CPSR and CPNP must be updated simultaneously

-Starting from August 12th, the new PPWR packaging regulations will come into effect: higher requirements will be put forward for the environmental friendliness and recyclability of packaging materials

5. EORI number is a necessary entry ticket for customs clearance (without this number, customs clearance cannot be completed)

All enterprises engaged in trade with third countries must register and hold an EORI number in the EU Economic Operator Registration and Identification System (EORI). EORI applications are free, and most applications are processed within one hour. The EORI numbering format in Sweden is "SE"+10 digits. Without this number, the goods cannot be declared by Swedish customs.
