Importing and Selling Overseas Cosmetics (Licenses, Foreign Notification, Product Notification)
CC-05 | PMD Act | Cosmetics | Import | Licenses and notifications
When you import and sell overseas cosmetics. Licenses, the foreign manufacturer notification, product notifications and checks of ingredients and Japanese labels.
Importing overseas cosmetics for sale in Japan requires a cosmetics marketing authorization holder license and a manufacturing license for labeling and storage. You also file a notification on the overseas manufacturing site (foreign notification) and a marketing notification for each product. Ingredients must be checked against Japan's Standards for Cosmetics for prohibited and restricted ingredients, and Japanese statutory labels must be prepared. Advertising claims used overseas often cannot be used in Japan. Our administrative scrivener, who has worked in cosmetics R&D, checks the ingredient lists against Japanese standards and handles the licenses, foreign notification, product notifications, and Japanese full ingredient labeling and labels.
