 The Chinese market

The Chinese law prohibiting products not tested on animals and the direct promotion of medicines again knows through crossborder regulation a space of tolerance subject to respecting conditions known only to operational specialists in crossborder e-commerce.
Understanding the Chinese market
 The Chinese market has enormous potential and offers many opportunities with regard to cosmetic products. However, the regulations are complex and following health scandals, a certain mistrust has arisen among consumers. This is why there is some information to take into account if you want to import your cosmetic products to China.
First, to import a cosmetic product, you must register the product with the Chinese authorities. The rules are strict and the list of ingredients authorized and rather limited. So if you want to import new products, the procedure will be longer.
Then we must differentiate the classic products: care for hair, skin and makeup which simply requires a registration certificate, with specific products: for hair growth or dye, fitness, deodorants, elimination of pimples, sunscreen , whitening products, reduction of pigmentation and new ingredients which also require a hygiene license, which represents an additional cost.
