MoCRA and Freight: Separate Cosmetics Compliance from Shipping Booking
Quick answer: The importer should assess FDA product obligations separately from the freight provider's transport and booking work.

Start with the shipment facts
Before booking, identify the responsible US parties, product category and manufacturer/facility information. FDA describes obligations for cosmetics importers; check current official guidance for the exact role and product.
Compare an accepted route, not a headline rate
Give the forwarder an accurate product description and any handling-relevant information, while the importer or regulatory adviser confirms product registration/listing and labeling questions where applicable.
Information to send for a useful review
- Product list, manufacturer, responsible person/importer details for compliance review, country of origin, invoice data, quantity, packing and route.
Common question
Can a freight forwarder determine MoCRA compliance?
A forwarder can coordinate transport data, but regulatory responsibility and product compliance require the appropriate importer/expert review.
Request a shipment review
Send the product, packed dimensions, gross weight, origin, destination and cargo-ready date. For sensitive goods, include the product documents and photos so we can check a suitable route and pricing scope. Final rates, schedules and acceptance depend on the exact shipment and carrier.
