Yes, your order reaches your country. To ship wholesale perfume from Miami, your courier or freight forwarder picks it up at our Doral warehouse and handles the trip: we sell ex works, so the sale is complete at our door. What changes is not whether you get your goods, but who arranges the transit, and you choose.

Shoppex Corp is a wholesale distributor of authentic perfumes with a warehouse in Doral, Miami, selling to stores and resellers across the United States, Latin America and the Caribbean. “Do you ship to my country?” is one of the questions we hear most, so this guide answers it with examples for Colombia, Mexico, Venezuela and the Dominican Republic, plus what changes if you buy from inside the U.S. New to buying with us? Start with how to buy wholesale perfumes in Miami from Latin America.

Key takeaways

  • We sell ex works: the sale ends at our Doral warehouse, and from there freight, insurance and customs are on the buyer, through your courier or forwarder.
  • If your forwarder’s warehouse is within 5 miles of Doral, we drop the order off in our own truck: no charge from $5,000 and $30 below that.
  • Freight cost is known once the order is packed, based on the real weight and dimensions of the boxes.
  • Every country has its own courier and cosmetics rules: confirm them with your forwarder before you pay.

Yes, your order gets there: how to ship wholesale perfume from Miami

Miami is the natural gateway to Latin America and the Caribbean, and many of the couriers and freight forwarders serving the region have warehouses in or around Doral. That keeps the model simple: we prepare and pack your order, and your courier or forwarder receives it in Miami, consolidates it with other cargo and takes it to your country.

We don’t run our own international transport and we have no commercial agreement with any courier, as our FAQs explain. The upside: you pick the one that works best for your country, your city and your volume, and you compare rates with no middleman.

What ex works means and where the sale ends

Ex works (EXW) is an international trade term meaning the seller hands over the goods at its own premises. For us, the sale ends at our Doral warehouse (7842 NW 46th St, Doral, FL 33166) or, if we deliver, at the door of a warehouse within 5 miles. From that moment, transportation, insurance and duties are the buyer’s responsibility, as our delivery policy explains.

Good to know. Once the goods are handed to the carrier, the risk of loss or damage passes to the buyer. Before anything leaves, we document every shipment with photos and video. Ask your forwarder whether it offers cargo insurance.

Courier or freight forwarder: which one fits

Both get your goods home, but they work differently. What matters most is the size of your order and whether you’ll import as a business in your country.

Courier

Moves parcels under a simplified customs process. Good for small, frequent shipments, but each country caps value and weight, and sometimes units.

Small shipments

Freight forwarder

Consolidates air or ocean cargo and coordinates a formal import with a customs broker. The way to go for large orders or clearly commercial ones.

Large orders

Pick up in Doral

If you’re in Miami or visiting, pick up at the warehouse Monday to Friday during business hours, no appointment needed.

7842 NW 46th St

When you choose, ask three things: whether they have experience with perfume (it’s an alcohol-based liquid, and air transport has its own rules for it), what the rate includes (freight, insurance, taxes and final delivery) and whether they’ll put the quote in writing.

Step by step: from our Doral warehouse to your country

  1. Choose your courier or forwarder in Miami and ask for their warehouse address and their requirements for perfume.
  2. Create your free account on our wholesale platform, build your order and submit it without paying: stock is held for 48 to 72 hours while we confirm availability.
  3. You get the sales order, you pay, and we prepare the order: 1 to 3 business days for Fast Shipping and 5 to 7 for Back Order.
  4. Once packed, we send you the real weight and dimensions of the boxes so your forwarder can quote.
  5. Your forwarder picks up in Doral (or we drop it off if their warehouse is within 5 miles) and handles export, freight and customs.

Orders start at $1,000, mixing products, with a minimum of 2 units per product in Fast Shipping and 6 in Back Order. For a feel of the catalog before you sign up, see get the price list.

Country examples: Colombia, Mexico, Venezuela and the Dominican Republic

The rules change often and depend on quantity, value and the customs regime the goods enter under. What follows is a starting point, current as of October 2026 according to the sources linked. Always confirm it with your customs broker or forwarder before you buy: this is not legal or tax advice.

Colombia

US$2,000

cap per courier shipment, with 50 kg

Mexico

33.5%

general flat rate for courier imports

Dominican Rep.

18%

ITBIS, the general rate, above US$200

Colombia

Courier and express shipments can enter up to US$2,000 FOB and 50 kg; when goods are restricted, a shipment only counts as non-commercial up to six units of the same kind (DIAN ruling 2360 of 2023). For cosmetics, INVIMA requires its approval regardless of the number of units (Analdex). Shipments up to US$200 FOB pay no duty (DIAN, January 2026), but VAT on those shipments changed more than once this year, so ask your forwarder how it’s charged today. At resale volume, the usual route is a formal import with INVIMA’s mandatory sanitary notification.

Mexico

Goods entering through the simplified courier process pay, in the general case, a 33.5% flat rate since August 15, 2025, and the 2026 foreign trade rules keep it (El Imparcial, October 8, 2026; Baker McKenzie). Lower rates exist for shipments from the U.S. or Canada that meet certain conditions; your forwarder can tell you if they apply.

Cosmetics are labeled under NOM-141-SSA1/SCFI-2012, and on October 23, 2026 the official gazette published a reform to the Customs Law that tightens control of declared value: always declare the real invoice value. Selling into the season? See how to prepare your Buen Fin perfume inventory.

Venezuela

In Venezuela it’s common to work with couriers that have a warehouse in Doral and offer air and ocean service. Each company sets its own rates and charges, so ask for a written quote with taxes and delivery included. In July 2026, the health regulator (SACS) asked in its circular DGSACS-008/2026 that importers of goods for human use and consumption have their permits and destination labeling approved before the cargo arrives. It doesn’t name perfume specifically, so confirm with your forwarder.

Dominican Republic

The US$200 exemption under Law 168-21 isn’t automatic: customs looks at the nature, quantity and frequency of shipments, buying several units to resell isn’t treated as a personal purchase, and splitting an order into several shipments is watched. ITBIS has a general rate of 18%, and the courier regime goes up to US$2,000 (Revista Mercado, October 9, 2026). At resale volume, ask your forwarder about a formal import and sanitary registration.

What we give you so your forwarder can quote and clear

  • The sales order before you pay, and the commercial invoice for your purchase.
  • The real weight and dimensions of every box once the order is packed.
  • Double-wall boxes with internal protection and fragile labels. If your forwarder prefers, you can ask for more boxes with fewer units each (this may change the freight cost).
  • Batch and UPC/EAN code on every package, and photos and video of every shipment.

We don’t provide supplier invoices, distribution agreements or brand authorization letters. If your country or your forwarder asks for them, it’s better to know before you buy. Planning ahead for the holidays? See when to order your holiday perfume inventory.

Scanning the items of an order in the warehouse
Every order is scanned and documented before it leaves our Doral warehouse.

Buying from the U.S.

Within 5 miles of Doral, we deliver in our own truck, Monday to Friday: no charge from $5,000 and $30 below that, with no tracking number. Anywhere else in the U.S., you buy the label from the carrier you prefer (UPS, FedEx, USPS or LTL freight) using the weight and dimensions we send. If you’d rather not deal with it, we can buy a UPS label for you, at your cost and under your responsibility: it’s a help, not a shipping service.

U.S. buyers need a Resale Tax ID (resale certificate). In Puerto Rico and the rest of the Caribbean, the route is the same as for Latin America: a courier or forwarder in Miami picks up your order and handles the trip. Outside the U.S. you don’t need a registered business, but you do need to be a reseller.

Frequently asked questions

Do you ship perfume to my country?

Your goods reach your country, but your courier or freight forwarder arranges the transit. We sell ex works: the sale ends at our Doral warehouse, where they pick it up.

How much does shipping to my country cost?

It depends on your courier or forwarder, the destination and the weight. We send the real weight and dimensions once the order is packed so they can quote.

Can you recommend a courier?

We have no commercial agreement with any courier, so we don’t recommend one in particular. Ask whether they handle perfume and get the rate in writing, all costs included.

That depends on the carrier and destination you choose. What we can tell you is preparation time from payment: 1 to 3 business days for Fast Shipping and 5 to 7 for Back Order.
