What is the Cross Border Store?
Launched in 2021, the Cross Border Store offers authentic products from 100+ global beauty brands exclusively for Indian customers. All Cross Border Store products are directly delivered by the brand from an international location.
Are the products available on the Cross Border Store authentic?
We source all our products directly from the brand or authorised/official distributor of the brand and hence we can guarantee 100% authenticity of each product. You can also refer to the image on each product display page, which guarantees authenticity from our partners.
Which brands are available on the Cross Border Store?
The Cross Border Store has 100+ brands from 10+ geographies around the world. You can choose to shop for categories & brands ranging from the best of Korean makeup & skincare (like Amuse, Peripera, Isntree, AHC, Pony Effect) to cult favourites (like Suva Beauty, Nimya, Hindash) to luxury skincare (like Elemis, 111Skin, Dr. Barbara Strum) to clean beauty & haircare brands (like Rodial, Color Wow, Alima Pure). All our brands are carefully chosen to offer the best-in-class experience to the Indian consumers.
How is the Cross Border Store different from other international retailers & resellers?
The Cross Border store is the most convenient alternative to other international retailers since all our orders are inclusive of custom duties and taxes. You can simply order and submit your ID/Address proof and we take care of international shipping & customs clearance on your behalf. You do not have to go through the hassle of coordination once you order and we ensure doorstep delivery of your products. It is also the most convenient alternative to other resellers’ platforms since we guarantee authentic products directly sourced from the brand/distributors.
Can I select and buy products from the Cross-Border Store & the Nykaa Beauty store in the same cart?
Yes. You can select and buy products across the entire Nykaa ecosystem together. Payment options in such cases will be limited to prepaid and a flat shipping fee of ₹500 will be added at an order level.
Is ID/Address proof submission mandatory for the Cross Border Store?
Yes, ID/Address proof is mandatory to get delivery of Cross Border Store orders. Since your order will come directly from the brand/distributor outside India, we need to clear the shipment from the customs department once it arrives in India. Again, this coordination with customs will be done by our team and you will have a hassle-free experience once you submit the documents.
Is ID/Address proof submission required for every order I place on the Cross Border Store?
No, submission of ID/Address proof is a one-time process for every customer. Once you have completed the verification process, we automatically fetch all your details for future orders on your behalf for the custom clearance process.
How do I submit the ID/Address proof for Cross Border Store Orders?
You will receive a link on your registered Email/SMS/Whatsapp from Aramex (our logistics partner) ONLY after your order has been shipped. You can use the same link to upload your documents & complete the verification process.

NOTE: The provided details (ID/Address proof) must exactly match the details you’ve used while placing an order.
What are the acceptable ID/Address proof documents?
You can submit Aadhar Card/Passport/Voter ID card as ID/Address proof. Please note that the name & address on your ID/Address Proof needs to exactly match with name & address details that you have used while placing the order.

Your friends/relatives ID/address proof will be required for document verification in the customs clearance process.

NOTE: The provided details (ID/Address proof) must exactly match the details you’ve used while placing an order.
Can I submit documents to Nykaa instead of uploading on the link shared by Aramex?

Are there any other documents required apart from ID/Address proof to deliver the shipment?
In rare instances, you may need to submit additional documents to the customs team. In such scenarios our logistics/customer support team will get in touch with you directly.
Can I cancel my order on the Cross Border Store?
You can cancel your order before it is shipped. You can do the same through the ‘My Orders’ section just like on Nykaa.com. Once the order has been shipped by the brand/distributor, it cannot be cancelled since the order information is already filed with the Indian customs department.
Can I return the products from my order once received?
Returns are not available for Cross Border Store products since the products are directly delivered by the brand from an international location. However, In case if you have received a damaged/defective product, a refund will be initiated after due verification by our team.

NOTE: Refunds will be processed to the same account from which payment was made within 2-3 business days. For any further clarification regarding refunds, please reach out to cs.ngs@nykaa.com
Are there any additional shipping charges for Cross Border Store orders?
We charge a flat INR 500 shipping fee for all Cross Border store orders. This fee enables us to adequately compensate our logistic partner to execute the fastest & safest doorstep delivery of your order from faraway international locations.
Can I pay using COD or EMI on the Cross Border Store?
We currently do not have the COD/EMI payment options available for Cross Border Store orders. However, we are working towards enabling the EMI option for your convenience.
Is the delivery time for Cross Border orders different from normal orders?
All Cross Border Store orders are usually delivered within 12-14 days after you’ve placed an order, provided the ID/ Address proof is submitted and verified promptly.
