| Message: | Understanding China Regulation for Imported CosmeticsBefore customs clearance and free sales in China, all imported cosmetics must be approved by CFDA (China Food and Drug Administration).In China, according to "Cosmetics Health Supervision Regulations", cosmetics are daily used chemical products applied on the surface of any part of the human body surface (skin, hair, nails and lips etc.) by way of smearing, spraying or other similar methods to keep the body clean, to get rid of undesirable smell, to protect the skin, to make up the face and to increase the beauty of the appearance.According to this definition, mouthwash, toothpaste etc. are not cosmetics.It is remarkable that actually toothpaste is regarded as cosmetics now in China, but approval from CFDA is not needed. For solid soap which belongs to cosmetics, approval from CFDA is generally not needed either.In China, cosmetics are classified into two types and managed as such: Special use cosmetics (special cosmetics) and non-special use cosmetics (non-special cosmetics, normal cosmetics). Special cosmetics refer to cosmetics used for hair nourishment, hair-dye, hair perm, hair removing, breast massage, body building, deodorization, speckle removal (including whitening products) and anti-sunburn. The other cosmetics belong to non-special cosmetics.In the draft "Cosmetics Health Supervision Regulations" (revision version), definition of cosmetics are defined as 'products that are applied to human body surface (skin, hair, nails and lips etc.), tooth and oral mucosa for the purpose of cleaning, protecting, beautifying, modifying and keeping them in good conditions'; special cosmetics refer to hair-dye, hair perm, whitening, antisunburn cosmetics, and other cosmetics products which CFDA considers necessary to manage as special cosmetics.Currently, imported cosmetics shall be evaluated and approved by China Central FDA (CFDA) --- Imported Cosmetics Registration, which can be called as Cosmetics registration in CFDA, China ......url:http://www.randiscn.com |
