Quick Answer (for busy buyers)
Here’s the buyer-first summary. If your brand name is on the label, you usually act as the responsible person and must ensure the listing is submitted and kept current.
- To get an accurate hair care quote for the EU market, include your target channels like Amazon, retail, or salons, and list all SKUs with formats such as shampoo, conditioner, or mask and sizes like 200ml or 500ml.
- Specify packaging materials and designs, noting if you need sustainable options like PCR plastic or refillable systems, as EU compliance requires specific labeling and material safety.
- Also, outline any claims like sulfate-free or color-safe, as we can help ensure they meet EU Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 through documentation and testing.
- Provide your budget per unit and launch timeline to align production.
- MOQs typically start at 3,000-5,000 units per SKU but drop with higher volumes or simpler packaging.
- Sampling takes 4-6 weeks with stability and compatibility checks, while full production lead time is 8-12 weeks post-approval, including CPNP notification and safety assessment support.
Buyer outcome
