CosmeticsNot only is it the best friend of women, but it is one of the largest commodities in the global market. However, if you are considering importing cosmetics, you need to have an in-depth understanding of the relevant declaration requirements. This article will provide you with a one-stop guide that will help you be more hands-on in the process of importing cosmetics.

1 of Makeup:This is a broad definition, including any daily chemical used to clean, protect, beautify and modify the surface of the human body.This includes products used for skin, hair, nails and lips.
Specialty of makeup:Such cosmetics have special functions, such as hair coloring, burning, bleaching, sun protection and hair loss prevention functions.
Ordinary makeup products:All other cosmetics except special cosmetics belong to this category.
Semi-finished makeup productsMost of the production processing steps have been completed, but the final “fill” or “split” has not yet been carried out.

Make sure your cosmetics have a national sanitary license or record certificate. This is a must for imported cosmetics. Note that this requirement applies to soap, even if it claims to have a special cosmetic effect. But there are exceptions, such as toothpaste, fake toothpaste and mouthwash.
When declaring, ensure that:

(1) Select the category code correctly in the Product Qualifications and correctly fill in the batch or file credential number obtained by the product.
(2) Fill out the Chinese name of the overseas production enterprise.
(3) If the product is imported, make sure that the registration or recording of each product has been completed before the import.
(4) For semi-finished products, you can choose the non-pre-packaged option, without providing license batches and backup credentials.

If your product contains the components involved in the Double Use and Technology Import License Management Directory, make sure you have obtained the relevant import license.

If your product contains substances from the Import and Export Wild Fauna and Flora Catalog, pay special attention. Different species have different regulatory conditions, and some species may not be entirely regulated. Make sure you provide the correct proof material and comply with applicable laws and regulations when declaring.

Once your cosmetic has obtained a certificate of certification, it can be sold and used, but if the product is not qualified, it may need to be returned, destroyed or processed.
