There is no uniform standard for whether imported skincare products incurs fees; it depends on the specific circumstances.
Some brands charge fees to high-quality agents, ensuring sufficient investment and commitment. The amount varies based on brand reputation and market positioning— brands may charge hundreds of thousands, while emerging brands may ask for tens of thousands or less.
Deposits are also common, refundable if the agent complies with terms, mainly to market and prevent or, typically amounting to tens of thousands.
Additionally, purchase costs are unavoidable, as product costs and initial order requirements differ by brand. However, some brands waive fees and deposits to expand their market, requiring only compliant purchases. For example, some of Zhongshitong’s models operate this way, so it’s wise to compare brand policies when seeking.
