According to the requirements of the Amazon platform, if you sell cosmetics on the platform, you must comply with the corresponding export requirements of the country you are selling to. In the case of exporting cosmetics to the US, for example, FDA registration/certification is required, as detailed below:
I. Under the new provisions of the Modernizing Cosmetics Act of 2022 (MoCRA), which was passed by the U.S. FDA on December 29, 2022 under the signature of U.S. President Joe Biden. The Act provides:
- After the implementation of MoCRA, existing cosmetic facilities must register with FDA within 1 year of the promulgation of the new regulations, and the registration period for new cosmetic facilities will be within 60 days of engaging in cosmetic processing and manufacturing.
Cosmetic FDA registration is divided into two parts:
(1) Business Registration: Enter the FDA's Cosmetic Online Creation System and make a declaration of company information. After the declaration is completed and manually reviewed by the FDA for accuracy, the code can be assigned.
(2) Product Registration: Submit a product declaration in the business registration account. If a product is produced by company A and distributed by company B, then either company A or company B can submit a product declaration, and there is no need for both companies A and B to submit.
The benefits of exporting cosmetics to the U.S. with FDA registration include:
1) According to the latest FDA regulations in 2023, cosmetic products exported to the U.S. must be registered with the FDA.
2) Obtaining FDA registration/certification is an effective promotional tool for companies.
(3) Product certification is required before sales on e-commerce platforms such as Amazon and Alibaba, including
Uploading certificates of registration and accreditation.
4) Customers may request a certificate before placing an order.
5) Having FDA registration/certification helps to speed up the product's customs clearance process.
In short, for companies wishing to sell cosmetics in the U.S. market, obtaining FDA registration is a necessary step. This not only helps to ensure product compliance, but also enhances corporate image, strengthens consumer trust, and simplifies the sales and logistics process. Therefore, companies should prepare and complete FDA registration as soon as possible in order to enter the U.S. market smoothly and successfully.
