Buying Korean Skin Boosters Wholesale in Australia: Small Orders, Shipping and Import Rules

Quick answer

  • Yes, you can buy Korean skin boosters in small quantities for Australia. KINN International sells finished PDRN, exosome, NAD+ and peptide ampoules from 1 unit per SKU on most products.
  • 3+ items in one order get the wholesale price automatically (23% off).
  • Orders ship from Busan, South Korea to Australia by express post. Allow 5–7 days to dispatch and about 7–21 days in transit.
  • Australia ships DAP. Orders of AUD 1,000 or less arrive with no import duty or GST to pay; above that, the buyer pays GST, duties and customs charges on arrival.
  • Everything is a topical cosmetic (no injectables). Small orders do not need AICIS registration; only formal, large-scale distribution does.

Australian clinics, cosmetic nurses, skin therapists and online shops ask us the same questions: can I buy Korean skin boosters without a big minimum order, what does shipping cost in time, and who pays the import charges? This guide answers them with the numbers we actually work with.

1. Who this is for

  • Skin clinics, med spas and cosmetic nurses who use PDRN, exosome or NAD+ ampoules in microneedling and recovery facials.
  • Skin therapists and beauty salons that want a professional Korean booster line without holding big stock.
  • Online shops and distributors in Australia testing Korean skincare before ordering by the carton.

2. What you can buy

All products are finished, labelled Korean cosmetics for topical use. We do not sell injectables, needles or medical devices.

3. Minimum order

  • Most products: from 1 unit per SKU. You can mix different products in one order.
  • 3 or more items in one order: the wholesale price (23% off) applies automatically at checkout.
  • A few home-care items have a small pack minimum, shown on the product page.
  • Your own label (private label / OEM) is a separate route: see For Brands (OEM).

4. Shipping to Australia

  • Ships from Busan, South Korea by express post with tracking.
  • Dispatch: 5–7 days after payment. Transit: about 7–21 days depending on customs.
  • Shipping is charged by package weight and shown at checkout before you pay.

5. GST, duties and customs (DAP)

Orders to Australia ship DAP (Delivered At Place). We pay the freight to your address. Orders of AUD 1,000 or less (the Australian low-value threshold) are not charged import duty or GST on arrival. For orders over AUD 1,000, Australian GST (10%), any import duty and customs or broker fees are the buyer's responsibility and are collected on arrival. If you import regularly, ask your customs broker how your orders will be assessed. Full terms: Shipping policy.

6. AICIS and TGA: what an Australian buyer should know

  • AICIS: small orders for your clinic, salon or shop do not need AICIS registration. Registration with the Australian Industrial Chemicals Introduction Scheme is needed when you move to formal, large-scale distribution.
  • TGA: cosmetics may only make cosmetic claims (hydration, smoother-looking skin). Therapeutic claims bring a product under the TGA, so keep your marketing cosmetic.
  • We can supply product information, MSDS and COA for the finished products you buy.

This is general information, not legal advice. Check current requirements with AICIS and the TGA before you import.

7. How to order

  1. Browse the professional catalog and add products to your cart.
  2. Check out with your Australian delivery address. Shipping is calculated by weight.
  3. Pay by PayPal or by card through PayPal.
  4. You receive tracking when the parcel leaves Busan.

Who pays GST and import charges on orders to Australia?

Orders of AUD 1,000 or less have no import duty or GST to pay on arrival. Above AUD 1,000, orders ship DAP and the buyer pays Australian GST, duties and any customs fees on arrival.

Are these products legal to sell in Australia?

They are topical cosmetics, not injectables. Small orders do not need AICIS registration; formal large-scale distribution does. Marketing must stay within cosmetic claims so the products are not treated as therapeutic goods by the TGA.

No. We only export finished topical cosmetics and ampoules.
