Cosmetics Import Agency
For customers who wish to import cosmetics from overseas but are unable to do so without an import license, we and our partner companies will support your company's cosmetics importation.
The origin of our cosmetics import agency business began when we were looking for new business opportunities with a cosmetics manufacturer and distributor with whom we had been in contact since before our company was established.
In recent years, many foreign-made cosmetics and products that fall under the category of cosmetics have been seen on the Internet and in drugstores, with Korean cosmetics at the top of the list. We are also experiencing an increase in demand, with inquiries from domestic buyers and consultation from overseas manufacturers regarding the domestic expansion of their cosmetics products.
We are developing a "cosmetics import agency business" in the hope that our combined logistics support and cosmetics import agency services will help small businesses and other importers of overseas cosmetics and cosmetics-related products.
