You might notice that shipping a box of t-shirts takes 3 days, but shipping lip gloss takes 7-10 days. Why?

1. The “Sensitive Goods” Classification

• Liquids, Creams, and Powders are classified as “Sensitive Goods” (and sometimes “Dangerous Goods”) in international aviation.
• Security Checks: Unlike general goods (clothes, books), cosmetics must go through Chemical Safety Inspections at the airport.
• Flight Restrictions: Many passenger planes do not accept liquids. Your goods must often wait for a dedicated Cargo Plane, which has fewer schedules.

2. The “Magnetic Inspection” (For Palettes)

• If your eyeshadow palettes contain magnets (for closing), they require a specific “Magnetic Inspection” before loading to ensure they don’t interfere with aircraft navigation systems. This adds 1-2 days to the processing time.

Summary: Please allow extra buffer time for cosmetics shipping. We cannot rush aviation safety protocols.
