Introduction to 1. Project

1. Background introduction

a. In the global cosmetics sales ranking, China is second only to Japan and the United States, ranking third. With the upgrading of China's economic structure, the cosmetics market has a bright future.

B. Chinese regulations require that cosmetics listed in China must go to the relevant CFDA departments for filing or administrative licensing procedures.

c. As drugs and health foods have been licensed for a relatively long time in China, while cosmetics can be legally listed in China in a relatively short period of time, cosmetics have become the preferred health products for foreign manufacturers, domestic and foreign trading companies and other companies interested in exploring the Chinese market.

d. According to the requirements of laws and regulations, imported non-special-purpose cosmetics entering the Chinese market must be filed with the drug regulatory department and obtain the "Imported Non-Special-purpose Cosmetics Filing Certificate"; imported special-purpose cosmetics must complete the administrative license application at the drug regulatory department and obtain "Approval for Administrative License for Imported Special-purpose Cosmetics".

2. Project objectives

The goal of this project is to help customers obtain the record certificate of imported non-special-purpose cosmetics or the approval of the administrative license for imported special-purpose cosmetics.

4. FAQ

1 Definition of Cosmetics

In November 1989, the regulations on hygienic supervision of cosmetics were issued, which defined cosmetics for the first time. The regulations stipulate that cosmetics refer to daily chemical industrial products that are spread on any part of the human body surface (skin, hair, nails, lips, etc.) by rubbing, spraying or other similar methods to achieve the purpose of cleaning, eliminating bad odors, skin care, beauty and grooming.

Some products belong to the category of cosmetics in foreign countries, but they need to be declared as drugs when entering the country, such as nursing products to promote wound healing. Whether the product can be declared according to cosmetics needs to be analyzed according to regulations.

2. Classification of Cosmetics

In my country, cosmetics declarations are mainly divided into two categories: special-purpose cosmetics and non-special-purpose cosmetics, which are divided into domestic and imported (including Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau).

Special purpose cosmetics are: hair, sunscreen, bodybuilding, deodorant, beauty milk, freckle, hair dye, hair removal, perm.

Non-special-purpose cosmetics refer to cosmetics that are not used for special purposes.

Cosmetics for special purposes shall be subject to a registration system, and cosmetics for non-special purposes shall be subject to a filing system.

3. Which institutions are mainly involved in cosmetics declaration?

The declaration of cosmetics mainly involves four types of institutions: notarization institutions; testing institutions; Food and Drug Administration (CFDA);

Reception hall; review committee; administrative examination and approval department.

a. Notary public: notarize the materials required by the government to be notarized;

B. Testing agencies: CFDA designated a number of testing agencies, commissioned by the enterprise, responsible for the technical inspection of products, and issued inspection reports.

c. Food and Drug Administration:

D. CFDA acceptance hall: responsible for the preliminary examination of the enterprise's application materials, materials meet the requirements of the acceptance and is responsible for arranging to participate in the review meeting; Notify the enterprise of the review opinions; Report the products to be approved to the State Food and Drug Administration; Issue certificates, etc.

e. CFDA Health Food Review Center: responsible for the technical review of the declared products, issued technical review conclusions.

F. Drug and Cosmetic Registration Management Department: administrative review, and according to the law to make a decision on whether to approve the administrative license.

g. Provincial Food and Drug Administration: responsible for the audit of the production capacity of enterprises with domestic special products and issuing audit opinions; responsible for the filing of domestic non-special products.

4. Cosmetics declaration cycle

The declaration cycle of cosmetics varies according to the product category, the preparation of data, the selection of testing items and testing institutions.

The cycle consists of: data preparation cycle, detection cycle, review and approval cycle

A. data preparation cycle: depends on the speed of the customer's basic data preparation and the proficiency of the reporting material writers.

B. testing cycle: cosmetics according to the different categories of testing may include line microbiological testing, health chemical testing, toxicity testing, human safety and functional testing. According to the different inspection items, the inspection time is generally 2-4 months, special purpose cosmetics due to the need to do human body test,

time is relatively long.

C. review and approval cycle: depends on whether the application documents meet the requirements of laws and regulations, the detailed requirements of the review experts on the data, and the review policy.

A good consulting agency can reasonably arrange time in accordance with the requirements of laws and regulations, guide enterprises to prepare materials in stages in detail, and prepare mature declaration documents for them, so as to complete the declaration work efficiently and smoothly.

5. Cosmetic declaration fee

Fees consist of: notarization fee/translation fee, testing fee, consulting service fee

Our company is entrusted by the customer to charge consulting service fees for the declaration work. The specific fees are agreed according to the customer's product situation. Other fees are charged by a third party. Different fees of selected institutions are different and there is no unified pricing. Our company will advise customers to choose suitable third-party institutions such as notarization institutions and testing institutions according to the product situation, so as to maximize cost savings under the premise of ensuring quality.
