Prior to this agreement, the tariff regime applicable to French cosmetics had changed in three stages since 2024. The tariff was 0 % until 2024, then rose to 15 % during the summer of 2025. Since February 2026, it has stood at 10 %. Following approval, it is expected to rise back to 15 %.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fees that have changed from 0 % to 15 %, then to 10 %<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Febea<\/a> describes these customs duties as \u00abmajor shock\u00bb<\/em> for the French cosmetics industry. The organization outlines a bumpy trajectory: 0 % through 2024, 15 % in the summer of 2025, and 10 % since February 2026. A rebound to 15 % is anticipated following the agreement. \u00abFebea understands the importance of prioritizing the business relationship between the\u2019European Union<\/a> \u00bband the United States within a stable contractual framework\"<\/em>, says Emmanuel Guichard, executive director of Febea.<\/p>

Exports to the United States: 2.35 billion euros in 2025<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The United States remains the top export market for French cosmetics, with exports totaling 2.35 billion euros in 2025. Year-over-year, sales to this market declined by 19 %. The trend continued in the first quarter of 2026, with a further decline of nearly 20 % compared to the first quarter of 2025. In total, the decline in exports is estimated at nearly 800 million euros: 541 million euros in 2025, plus an estimated 250 million euros in the first half of 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Request to return to 0 % in the next phase<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The federation is calling on French and European authorities to take action to secure a return to 0 % in duties on cosmetics exported to the United States. \u00abThis stability cannot result in a sustained increase in customs duties for a sector as vulnerable as the French cosmetics industry.\u00bb<\/em>, says Guichard. U.S. fees may vary depending on the situation, with the 15 % rate serving as a cap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The early warning signals issued by Febea take both volume and price into account. \u00abThe United States remains our top export market, but exports are falling sharply.\u00bb<\/em>, Guichard explains. The federation is framing its request as part of the next phase of negotiations following the Turnberry Agreement, with the explicit goal of returning to a 0 % tariff rate for French cosmetics shipped to the United States.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
