Abstract: General Administration of Customs. P.R.China has decided to cancel the filing of domestic consignees of imported cosmetics.

The relevant Chinese authorities are also preparing to draft a list of cosmetic whitening agents, which is expected to have a further impact on the definition of whitening cosmetics in China when it is released.

Chinese law requires that the minimum sales unit of cosmetics should be marked a label. Imported cosmetics can apply Chinese labels directly or be affixed with Chinese labels. The content of Chinese labels affixed with imported cosmetics should be consistent with the original label content.
