What are the labelling requirements for shipping cosmetics?

Posted on 2023-04-18 Updated on 2023-08-17

By law, cosmetics marketed in the U.S. must adhere to specific product labelling regulations set forth by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA). This is to ensure consumer safety and provide necessary information. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) requires that all cosmetic labels include the product's identity, ingredient list, net quantity (in metric units), and the manufacturer or distributor's name and address.


It is essential that these requirements are met prior to shipment, as failure to do so can result in administrative fees and/or delays. For further information on cosmetic labelling laws and regulations, please visit the FDA website.
