## Frequently Asked Questions

### Q: What is the minimum order quantity for cosmetic OEM in Japan?
A: Our minimum order quantities vary by product type. Cosmetics and skincare start from 5,000
units, body and hair care from 5,000 units, face masks from 8,000 units, and health supplements
from 5,000 units. Quasi-drugs and medicated cosmetics are quoted by consultation. We are a
volume-production partner for established brands and do not accept trial lots below these MOQs.

### Q: Do you accept small or low-MOQ orders?
A: No. Our minimum is 5,000 units for cosmetics, skincare, body/hair care and supplements, and
8,000 units for face masks. If you need quantities below this, we are not the right partner.

### Q: How long does the OEM manufacturing process take?
A: Production typically takes 4-12 weeks after sample approval, depending on product type,
formulation and packaging. End to end, the timeline from initial consultation to delivery is
usually 3-6 months, covering planning (2-4 weeks), prototype development (4-6 weeks),
manufacturing (4-8 weeks), and quality inspection plus shipping (2-4 weeks). A full custom
quotation is normally issued within 2 business days of your enquiry.

### Q: Which countries do you export to?
A: We manufacture in Japan and export worldwide, with shipping experience to India, Australia,
China, Hong Kong, Singapore, the United States, Europe and the Middle East. We provide customs
documentation, ingredient tables, multilingual labeling, and sea or air freight options.

### Q: Can you manufacture Halal cosmetics?
A: We can manufacture to Halal requirements and support your certification process for target
markets such as Indonesia, Malaysia and the Middle East. We do not claim that products are
already Halal certified in advance. Details: https://3branch.jp/en/p_halal-cosmetics-japan

### Q: Can you manufacture stem cell cosmetics?
A: Yes. We produce serums, creams and sheet masks formulated with human stem cell conditioned
media (stem cell culture supernatant) or plant stem cell extract. Note that cosmetics do not
contain living stem cells; the active is the culture-derived ingredient.

### Q: What do you not do?
A: We do not offer dropshipping, print-on-demand, or per-order fulfilment of single units. We
manufacture only in Japan, not in Korea, China or elsewhere. We do not supply finished
third-party brands for resale through this service.

### Q: Can you help with product registration and export documentation?
A: Yes. We provide full export support including ingredient documentation, regulatory compliance
checks for your target market, multilingual labeling (English, Chinese, and other languages),
customs paperwork, and logistics coordination for both sea and air freight.

### Q: What is JDMSO authenticity certification?
A: JDMSO (Japan Direct Marketing Support Organization) provides anti-counterfeit holographic
seals with QR code verification. Each product receives a unique code that consumers can scan
to verify authenticity. This is especially valuable for brands selling in markets where
counterfeiting is prevalent. The cost is approximately $0.15 per seal.

### Q: What types of face masks can you manufacture?
A: We manufacture various types of face masks including cotton sheet masks, microfiber masks,
bio-cellulose masks, and eye masks. We can customize the mask material, serum formulation,
packaging design, and unit count per package. Popular options include masks with Japanese
botanical ingredients such as sake lees, green tea extract, and cherry blossom extract.

### Q: Do you provide sales support after manufacturing?
A: Yes. Unlike many OEM manufacturers, we offer comprehensive sales cooperation through our
KireiCosme B2B network. This includes market analysis, pricing strategy advice, retail channel
introductions, logistics management, and advertising guidance suited to your target market.

### Q: What languages do you support for business communication?
A: We support business communication in Japanese, English, and Chinese (Simplified).
Our website and inquiry forms are available in all three languages.

### Q: Can you reproduce a discontinued Japanese product?
A: In many cases, yes. If there is a Japanese product that is no longer manufactured but still
has demand in your market, we can negotiate with the original manufacturer and work to reproduce
it under your brand. We have successful track records of this kind of service.

### Q: What is the cost structure for cosmetic OEM?
A: Costs depend on product type, ingredients, packaging, order quantity, certification and
documentation, and logistics. Because of this we quote per project rather than publish a fixed
price list. Unit costs range from USD 5 to USD 200+ depending on the product category. Initial
consultation and product planning are free, and a full custom quotation is normally issued
within 2 business days. See https://3branch.jp/en/p_oem-cost

### Q: What quality certifications do your products have?
A: All products are manufactured in Japan under strict Japanese quality control standards,
holding the Japanese pharmaceutical and cosmetics manufacturing licenses each product type
requires. Products undergo third-party testing for safety and efficacy before shipping.
