The notification filing of imported non-special use cosmetics

The Drug Administration of Hainan Province held a press conference on November 26, announcing that from now on, the enterprises registered in the territory of the responsible person within the scope of the administrative region of Hainan Province can apply for the first record of importing non-special use cosmetics in Hainan Province. The State Drug Administration issued a notice in November 2018, clarifying that the first-time import of non-special-use cosmetics was subject to approval management and pilot free trade pilot zones to implement record management, and adjusted to national unified record management.

After the notification filing of imported non-special use cosmetics, the approval time has been shortened from 3 to 5 months to 5 working days, which greatly improves the efficiency of product import and marketing and allows domestic consumers to simultaneously enjoy global new cosmetics. In addition, the implementation of the domestic responsible person system, where the domestic responsible person assumes product safety responsibility, is conducive to the protection of consumer rights and interests.

The relevant person in charge of the Drug Administration of Hainan Province stated that the implementation of the filing management of imported non-special-use cosmetics is of great significance to improving the business environment in Hainan and promoting the construction of the Hainan Free Trade Zone (Hong Kong) and the International Tourism Consumption Center. The reporter learned from Haikou Customs that Hainan's cosmetics imports have maintained a rapid growth in recent years. In the first ten months of this year, imports of 4.82 billion yuan (RMB, the same below), an increase of 84.4% year-on-year. It is worth mentioning that in the first three quarters of this year, cosmetics consumption in Hainan's outlying islands was 5.09 billion yuan, accounting for 55%. The industry claims that this policy is a major benefit to expanding the scale of Hainan's duty-free shopping.

Zhang Xiancheng, a staff member of the Operation Headquarters of China Exempt Group (Hainan), said that Hainan's duty-free shops selling cosmetics had to be imported for the first time after it was imported from other ports in China. In the future, new products can be launched in Hainan. Yu Shiyong, director of the logistics department of Haikou Meilan Airport Duty Free Shop, stated that “duty free shops have an urgent need for this policy since its opening. In the future, duty free companies can contact their suppliers for new products to be listed on the market simultaneously. The product made its debut in Hainan. "
