01
Can a first order contain one carton from several popular brands?
No. COSRX, Medicube, Anua, and similar popular brands are handled through one-brand wholesale. Select one priority brand and build the order within its MOA and SKU or carton MOQs.

01
Compare brands, then choose one priority brand
Buyers can compare several Korean brands before deciding. For popular brands such as COSRX, Medicube, and Anua, the final purchase is planned one brand at a time.
Cosmain does not build a small mixed order with one carton from each popular brand. The selected brand needs enough product and category depth to support its own MOA, product MOQs, launch plan, and reorder logic.
02
A focused order is not a low-value order
Cosmain currently prioritizes commercial wholesale buyers planning opening merchandise orders from US$5,000. The amount refers to product value before international freight, duties, and local taxes.
A buyer with about US$6,000 available for popular Korean beauty products should normally build a workable assortment from one selected brand. Consumer quantities, sample-only requests, and one-carton purchases across several popular brands are outside this order model.
03
What to decide before requesting the quote
- Which one popular brand should carry the first order, or whether the selected brands are explicitly eligible for mixed ordering.
- Which categories carry the strongest channel fit and reorder potential.
- Which product details and export materials are needed before the order can move ahead.
- Which products can wait for a second order after early demand is clearer.
04
How supplier support should fit the process
Supplier support should help the buyer connect brand review, product information, commercial terms, and export coordination. That order of work keeps the first shipment tied to a buying plan rather than a loose product search.
Cosmain supports that Korea-side process while the buyer remains responsible for local approval, channel decisions, and final product selection.
05
When the range can expand
- After the buyer has reviewed early sell-through or distributor response.
- After product documents and local requirements are clearer for the core categories.
- After repeat demand shows which products deserve a wider position.

FAQ
02
Should the buyer request documents before or after pricing?
Document needs should be discussed before the order is locked, especially when local approval, labeling review, or marketplace requirements may affect the final selection.
03
Can Cosmain help narrow the first order?
Yes. Cosmain can support brand review, product information, commercial follow-up, and Korea-side export coordination so the buyer can work from a more practical first-order list.
04
Can a focused first order be below US$5,000?
Buyers may still submit a request, but Cosmain currently prioritizes opening merchandise orders from US$5,000. Requests below that level generally fall outside the current service scope.
