Direct from Brand
Counterfeit K-beauty is spreading through marketplaces worldwide. We answer with the one thing a fake cannot copy: a supply chain you can trace back to the brand.
Why the supply chain matters more than the box
Of the counterfeit cosmetics intercepted by Korea Customs Service in 2025, 97.7% were shipped from China.
Korean authorities blocked 36,116 overseas online listings of counterfeit Korean cosmetics in 2025, and 37,544 in the first eight months of 2026 alone.
Recent fakes copy the packaging and even the LOT number. Looking at the product is no longer enough; you have to know who sold it to whom.

How a brand earns the badge
- 1
Direct agreement with the brand
We hold a supply or partnership agreement signed with the brand itself, not with a wholesaler or an exporter claiming to represent it.
- 2
Written confirmation
The brand confirms in writing that TY TradeOne buys from them directly. We only switch the badge on after that confirmation is on file.
- 3
Korean-origin shipping
Goods are collected in Korea and leave Busan or Incheon on a bill of lading issued through TY Logistics, our own freight forwarder.
- 4
Reviewed, dated, revocable
The verification month is shown next to the badge. If an agreement ends, the badge is removed.
What buyers receive with every Direct from Brand order
Brand-issued commercial documents
Commercial invoice and packing list traceable to the brand, plus a certificate of origin on request.
Loading photos with LOT numbers
We photograph cartons and LOT numbers at loading so you can match what arrives against what was shipped.
Brand specifications where available
Ingredient lists, MSDS or test reports are passed on exactly as the brand provides them.
One accountable party
Sourcing, export documents, freight and customs are handled by the same team, so there is one party to call if anything is off.

What the badge does not mean
- It does not make TY TradeOne the brand's official or exclusive distributor unless the brand states so. We describe ourselves as a direct sourcing partner.
- It says nothing about products sold through other channels. We cannot authenticate items bought elsewhere.
