Imported cosmetics carry a longer compliance chain than most goods: ordinary cosmetics need filing records and Chinese labels, while special cosmetics (sunscreen, whitening and freckle-removing, hair dye and perm products) also need registration. Warehousing has to support labeling, kitting and pre-dispatch information checks so labels and batch numbers never get mismatched.
Creams, lotions and active ingredients are temperature-sensitive; heat or repeated swings can cause separation, colour change and odour drift, while powders and carton packaging suffer more from moisture. These goods usually call for a climate-controlled, light-protected environment with controlled humidity, stored apart from strongly scented cargo.
Cosmetics are typically high-value and fast-moving, so batch and shelf-life control directly decides expiry losses. Stock should be recorded by batch, support FIFO, and produce ledger-to-physical figures at dispatch. Those are the category's general expectations — check them one by one against our actual conditions.
