Key regulations and requirements for importing Skincare from Japan
The US cosmetics market was significantly reformed by the Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act (MoCRA) of 2022. Effective since 2023-2024, MoCRA requires FDA facility registration, product listing, adverse event reporting, and GMP compliance for all cosmetics sold in the US.
Products must comply with Japan's cosmetics regulations. Ensure the product classification (cosmetic vs quasi-drug) and the appropriate export procedures.
Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW)
All facilities that manufacture or process cosmetics for the US market must register with FDA. Registration must be renewed annually. Deadline was December 29, 2023 for existing facilities.
Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
Each cosmetic product marketed in the US must be listed with FDA, including product category, ingredient list, and labeling information.
Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
Cosmetics must be manufactured in compliance with GMP requirements. FDA will recognize ISO 22716 (Cosmetics GMP) as a harmonized standard.
Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
Labels must include: product identity, net contents, ingredient list (INCI names, descending order), warning statements where required, and the name and address of the distributor or manufacturer.
Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
Serious adverse events must be reported to FDA within 15 business days. Companies must maintain adverse event records for 6 years.
Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
In the US, products that claim to treat or prevent disease, or affect the structure/function of the body, are classified as drugs (requiring NDA/OTC monograph compliance). Japanese skincare products with claims like 'anti-aging' or 'whitening' may need careful claim review to avoid drug classification.
Some ingredients permitted in Japanese cosmetics may be restricted or prohibited in the US. For example, certain UV filters, mercury compounds, and some preservatives have different regulatory status. MoCRA also bans intentional use of PFAS in cosmetics (effective 2025).
4-6 months (FDA facility registration, product listing, labeling compliance, GMP audit)
China's cosmetics market is regulated by NMPA under the Cosmetics Supervision and Administration Regulation (CSAR, effective 2021). Imported cosmetics require either registration (special cosmetics) or filing (general cosmetics). All imported products must have a designated Chinese Responsible Person (CRP).
China requires a Certificate of Free Sale (CFS) issued by Japan's competent authority, confirming the product is legally manufactured and sold in Japan.
Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW)
Regular skincare products (moisturizers, cleansers, toners) classified as 'general cosmetics' undergo a filing process. Filing requires: product formula, safety assessment report, product testing at NMPA-designated labs, Chinese label sample, and CRP authorization.
National Medical Products Administration (NMPA)
Every imported cosmetic must designate a CRP — a Chinese-registered company that is legally responsible for the product in China. The CRP handles filing/registration, post-market surveillance, and adverse event reporting.
National Medical Products Administration (NMPA)
Products must be tested at NMPA-designated testing institutions for: microbial limits, heavy metals, preservative efficacy, and safety assessment. Testing typically takes 2-4 months.
National Medical Products Administration (NMPA)
Labels must include: product name in Chinese, full ingredient list (INCI + Chinese names), net content, shelf life, CRP name and address, country of origin, and usage instructions in Chinese.
National Medical Products Administration (NMPA)

However, products flagged during post-market inspection may still require animal testing.
China maintains the IECIC (Inventory of Existing Cosmetic Ingredients in China). Ingredients not on this list are considered 'new cosmetic ingredients' and require a separate approval (registration or filing) that can take 1-3 years.
General cosmetics filing: 6-12 months | Special cosmetics registration: 12-24 months
