Info

Labeling Cosmetic products imported into China must be labelled according to the mandatory National Standard GB 5296.3-2008 - Instruction for use of consumer products - general labelling for cosmetics. The manufacturer is required to list the following information, in clear simplified Chinese, on a label: • Product name; • Name and address of the manufacturer; • Net content; • Product ingredients; • Shelf life; • The code of hygiene permit or record-keeping certificate; • Safety statement and guidance on uses (optional); • For imported cosmetics, country of origin and the name and address of the distributor in China shall also be given on the label because they will shoulder the legal responsibilities in China as foreign manufacturers. According to the Administrative Measures on the Regulation on the <strong>Cosmetics</strong> Advertisement (SAIC 1993), the following are prohibited on the label: • Exaggerating claims in the name, production method, composition, performance or efficacy of the cosmetics • Use of the name or image of a consumer or other endorser to prove effectiveness; • Therapeutic claims and medical terms; • Comparisons that denigrate similar products; • Using absolute language; • Data related to performance, function, sales and other similar features Customs Clearance After receiving the hygiene permit, foreign manufacturers are qualified to export their cosmetics to China. When goods arrive at Chinese ports, importers need to apply for an inspection from the local branch of the China Inspection and Quarantine Bureau (CIQ). CIQ's inspection is mandatory for cosmetics imported to China and will do a random sample check and conduct Physio-chemical and microbiological tests. CIQ will also review the Chinese label according to GB 5296.3-2008. If the goods pass CIQ’s inspections, CIQ will issue a certificate of inspection which is then used by importers for customs clearance. The following documents are needed to apply for CIQ inspection: • A self-declaration letter stating that the imported cosmetic product complies with relevant Chinese laws and the normal use of the product will not cause any harm to human health; • Product formula; • Hygiene license or record-keeping certificate; • Sample labels in Chinese, product labels in the original language and the translated text in Chinese; • Information on the product name, volume/weight, specifications, country of origin, batch number, expiry date (production date and shelf life), target market, and information about packaging company; • Other documentation required.

Animal Testing Animal testing can be waived for China domestic non special use cosmetics from Jun 2014. But for imported cosmetics, all toxicological tests are still performed in animals to assess the safety of nonspecial-use and special use cosmetics, which are resulting in substantial numbers of U.S. personal care and cosmetics companies choosing to not export to China. Animal testing for cosmetics is a highly controversial practice and companies which conduct animal tests to meet China’s requirements risk high-profile criticism from their clients and activists. For foreign companies claiming their products are cruelty free, there is a possible way for them to place their products in China without animal testing. They can export the bulk to China for filling and packing. Then the products manufactured under this way are regarded as domestic cosmetics. Currently, another way to avoid animal testing is selling cosmetics by cross-border e-commerce. Intellectual Property Rights Generally speaking, China’s trademark registration is fairly inexpensive and straightforward. To show its commitment to WTO pledges, local judges are encouraged to promote rule of law and act against infringements on behalf of the foreign litigants. But, remember that China’s system is ‘first to register’ rather than ‘first to market’. So, if you are seriously looking at this market, registering BEFORE you enter China can save a lot of time, money and frustration should you face infringement at a later stage. The worst case scenario is to have a competitor or other local firms register your brand name in the early stages of your market entry, forcing you to fight an uphill battle for your name.
