What is NMPA Cosmetics Filing?

NMPA cosmetics filing is the regulatory process required for all imported cosmetics sold in China. General cosmetics require notification filing, while special-use cosmetics require full registration. Both processes involve product formulation review, safety assessment, and testing through NMPA-designated laboratories.

Common Questions

Find answers to the most frequently asked questions about this service.

What is NMPA cosmetics filing?
NMPA (National Medical Products Administration) filing is required for all cosmetics imported into China. General cosmetics require notification filing, while special-use cosmetics (sunscreen, hair dye, whitening) require registration approval.
What's the difference between notification and registration?
Notification filing (for general cosmetics) involves product safety assessment and ingredient review. Registration (for special cosmetics) requires efficacy testing and safety evaluation. We guide you through the entire process.
Do I need a Chinese responsible person?
Yes, all imported cosmetics must designate a Chinese domestic responsible person who assumes legal responsibility for product quality and safety. We can serve as your domestic responsible person.
Can I sell cosmetics through cross-border e-commerce without NMPA?
Yes, cross-border e-commerce (CBEC) channels allow cosmetics sales without NMPA filing under certain conditions. This is a faster market entry route while you prepare full NMPA compliance.
Does animal testing apply to imported cosmetics?
China has relaxed animal testing requirements for many ordinary imported cosmetics since 2021. Products manufactured under good manufacturing practices (GMP) with a safety assessment may be exempt. We evaluate your products for exemption eligibility.
Can I update my product formulation after NMPA filing?
Minor formulation changes may only require a notification update. Significant changes — especially to active ingredients — may require re-filing or a new registration. We advise on the regulatory impact before you make changes.
