Cosmetics and beauty logistics
For beauty brands entering the EU market
Entering the European market with cosmetics requires more than transport alone. We connect customs, compliance, labelling, inventory control, warehousing and distribution in one coordinated cosmetics logistics process.
Cosmetics logistics starts before EU entry
Cosmetics and personal care products must meet specific requirements for product safety, documentation and labelling before they can enter the EU. Depending on the product, this may include a Product Information File (PIF), Cosmetic Product Safety Report (CPSR), CPNP notification and a designated Responsible Person.These requirements affect the logistics process. Customs clearance, product information, labels, batch and lot data and expiry dates all play a role in how products are received, stored and distributed. Including these requirements in your logistics setup helps create a controlled flow from supplier to European customer.
Our solutions for cosmetics supply chains
Control from EU entry to European distribution
- Batch, lot and expiry data managed within the warehouse process.
- Customs, warehousing and fulfilment coordinated under one logistics structure.
- One point of contact overseeing your European goods flow.
Cosmetics logistics requires control beyond the moment your goods arrive in Europe. Product batches, lot information and expiry dates can influence storage and order processing, while labelling and product documentation need to fit the requirements of the markets you serve.
We connect international transport, customs, warehousing, inventory management, fulfilment and European distribution. Our WMS can register batch, lot and expiry information and support the required stock rotation. This gives you one coordinated logistics process instead of separate providers for each step.
Understanding your product and European supply chain
We assess your product categories, origin, volumes, intended markets and distribution requirements. We also identify relevant logistics considerations around customs, product documentation, labelling, batches, expiry dates and, where applicable, the handling requirements of regulated or hazardous products.
Building the right logistics structure
We determine how your personal care products should enter Europe and how transport, customs, storage and fulfilment need to connect. Warehouse requirements, inventory data and value added logistics such as labelling or packaging are incorporated into the setup where required.
Keeping logistics and product requirements aligned
Your international shipments, customs procedures, warehouse activities and European orders are coordinated within one process. Batch, lot and expiry information can be recorded in our WMS, providing the visibility needed to manage inventory and determine the appropriate order of release.
From international shipment to European customer
We coordinate the physical flow from origin to destination. Goods can be transported into Europe, cleared through customs, stored, prepared for distribution and delivered to customers across the European market, with one Newcorp contact overseeing the logistics process.

Our cosmetics logistics approach, explained
Practical answers to how we coordinate logistics, customs, warehousing and compliance considerations for cosmetics and beauty products.
What should I consider when importing cosmetics into the EU?
Cosmetics entering the EU are subject to European product and import requirements. Depending on your situation, this can include customs procedures as well as requirements concerning product safety, documentation, labelling, CPNP-notification and a Responsible Person. These responsibilities should be established before products are placed on the European market. We help you align the logistics and customs process with the compliance setup surrounding your products.
Can Newcorp manage batch, lot and expiry information for cosmetics?
Yes. Batch, lot and expiry information can be registered within our WMS. This provides visibility at inventory level and allows the warehouse process to take remaining shelf life and the required order of release into account.
For example, stock can normally follow FIFO-principles, while a different release strategy can be used when specific shelf life requirements apply.
Can you provide cosmetics fulfilment?
Yes. Cosmetics fulfilment can be integrated into the wider logistics process. This can include receiving goods, warehousing, inventory management, order processing, value added logistics and preparation for European distribution.
This means fulfilment does not have to operate separately from customs and international transport.
Can you support labelling and packaging activities?
Labelling and packaging can form part of the value added logistics process. The exact setup depends on the product, volumes, markets and activities required.
Where labelling is connected to EU product compliance, the applicable requirements and responsibilities need to be established before the goods are released onto the market.
Can you handle cosmetics that fall under ADR requirements?
Some cosmetics may contain substances that affect their transport or storage requirements. The appropriate setup therefore depends on the product classification, quantities and applicable regulations.We assess these requirements as part of the logistics setup.
Can you support international beauty brands entering the EU market?
Yes. This is where an integrated logistics structure becomes particularly valuable. We can coordinate international transport, customs, warehousing, fulfilment and European distribution, while taking the relevant compliance requirements surrounding your products into account.
You work with one point of contact who keeps an overview of the physical goods flow and the parties involved.
