Hi everyone, I'd like to become a distributor/re-seller for a Makeup Brand in Mauritius but as I have never done any kind of business before I have no idea where to start. The brand is based in Dubai and I would like to import the products and sell in Mauritius. Anybody knows what are the requirements I will be needing in Mauritius? If the Company from Dubai sends let's say 200 pcs of lipsticks by air, will there be any custom charges that will apply in Mauritius? I am completely new at this and all help/info will be highly appreciated. TIA

You will need to contact the brand first and get their approval. If they are fine with you representing them, they will tell you the rules which apply. Sometimes they can even ask for a fee before they allow you to act on their behalf.

Once you get the go ahead from the company (makeup brand), you will be paying tax when you import their products in Mauritius.

Go through the links in this answer to find out how much tax you're likely to pay.
