Key regulations and requirements for importing Makeup from Japan
Japanese makeup products are well-regarded globally. The US market requires compliance with MoCRA regulations and strict FDA color additive rules. Japan and the US have significantly different approved color additive lists, making reformulation a common requirement.
Products must comply with Japan's cosmetics standards. Color additives used must be verified against both Japanese and US approved lists.
Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW)
Same MoCRA requirements as skincare: facility registration, product listing, GMP compliance, and adverse event reporting.
Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
Color additives in cosmetics must be either FDA-certified (batch certification for synthetic colors like FD&C Red No. 40) or exempt from certification (e.g., iron oxides, titanium dioxide). Using non-approved colors renders the product adulterated under US law.
Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
Japan and the US have very different approved color additive lists. Many Japanese coal-tar colors (e.g., Red 202, Red 226, Blue 404) are NOT approved by FDA. Products may need reformulation with FDA-approved alternatives (e.g., FD&C colors, D&C colors). This is often the biggest hurdle for Japanese makeup exports.
While talc is permitted in both countries, MoCRA requires talc-containing products to undergo testing for asbestos contamination. Consider this when formulating pressed powders, eyeshadows, and foundations.
6-9 months (color additive reformulation may be needed, FDA registration, testing)
Japanese makeup products for the Chinese market follow the general cosmetics filing process under NMPA. Key considerations include ingredient compliance with IECIC, color additive approvals, and proper Chinese labeling. The CRP requirement applies to all imported makeup.
CFS required confirming the product is legally manufactured and sold in Japan.
Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW)
Standard makeup products (lipstick, foundation, eyeshadow, mascara) are classified as general cosmetics and require NMPA filing through a CRP.
National Medical Products Administration (NMPA)
Products must undergo testing at designated labs including microbiological testing, heavy metals analysis, and stability testing.
National Medical Products Administration (NMPA)
China has its own approved colorant list (《化妆品安全技术规范》). While there is more overlap with Japan's list than with the US, some Japanese-specific colorants may not be approved. All colorants must be cross-referenced with China's Technical Safety Standard for Cosmetics.
Under the 2021 CSAR, cosmetics making efficacy claims must provide substantiation through human efficacy tests, consumer perception tests, or literature reviews. Claims like 'anti-wrinkle' or 'brightening' require supporting data.
6-10 months (lab testing 2-4 months, filing review 2-3 months, label preparation)
