The “copying system” for imported cosmetics that has been piloted in Shanghai and other free trade pilot zones has to be implemented nationwide. This system reform will accelerate the efficiency of imported cosmetics into the Chinese market.
On October 10, the State Council issued the "Notice on Promoting the Reform of "Separation of Licenses" in the Whole Country (hereinafter referred to as the "Notice"). The "Notice" requires that, starting from November 10, 2018, the first batch of 106 administrative examination and approval matters involving enterprises in the country will be changed to direct cancellation, approval, examination and approval, implementation of notification commitment, optimization of access services, etc. Four ways to implement the “separation of licenses” reform. Among the administrative examination and approval items related to the “Separation of Licenses” reform, there are two related to the cosmetics industry, namely: the first import of non-special-purpose cosmetics administrative license, and the cosmetics production license.
Specifically, the implementation authority for the first import of non-special-purpose cosmetics administrative licenses is the State Food and Drug Administration. The reform measures include the revision of the Regulations on Cosmetic Hygiene Supervision and other relevant regulations; promoting the sharing of information between departments and strengthening post-event supervision. The implementation authority for cosmetics production licenses is the drug supervision and administration department (market supervision department) of the provincial people's government. The reform measures include the promotion of online business processing; the time limit for compression and approval is reduced, and the statutory approval time limit is reduced by one-third; the approval materials are streamlined, and the verification is obtained online. Business license, legal representative identification and other materials; publicity approval procedures, acceptance conditions and handling standards, public processing progress.
In China, imported cosmetics are divided into special-purpose cosmetics and non-special-purpose cosmetics, in addition to cosmetics with 9 special effects such as hair growth, hair dyeing, perming, hair removal, beauty, bodybuilding, deodorization, ecchymosis (whitening) and sun protection. All belong to non-special cosmetics, accounting for more than 90% of the cosmetics market. Before the implementation of the “recording system”, since the import and export approval authority is in the State Food and Drug Administration, every time a company imports a new type of cosmetics, it must submit materials and accept expert review in Beijing.
The implementation of the "recording system" has greatly shortened the speed of imported cosmetics into China. Therefore, the former system has achieved good results in pilot projects such as Shanghai and other free trade zones, enabling it to be promoted nationwide.
In March 2017, the “recording system” was the first pilot in Pudong, Shanghai. From March 1st, 2017 to December 21st, 2018, the first import of non-special-purpose cosmetics imported from Shanghai Pudong New Area Port and registered in Shanghai Pudong New Area will be adjusted from current approval management to filing. management. In the new process, after the record is filed, the company can carry out product import and sales, which is at least 3 months less than before.
According to Shen Jianhua, the project has been widely welcomed by imported cosmetics companies, and the number of users registered and the number of products registered and imports have shown rapid growth. By the end of June 2018, the first import of non-special-purpose cosmetics filing system, 172 domestic responsible persons in Pudong had registered 264 user names, and were entrusted to the products of 237 overseas production enterprises in 32 countries and regions. It is 27 homes. The number of products that have been documented is 1,680 (681 in 2017 and 999 in January and June 2018). In 2017, 337 batches were imported, amounting to US$28.91 million; from January to June 2018, 1396 batches were imported, amounting to US$73.12 million.
Take L'Oréal Group as an example. The Lancome brand's makeup powder stick listed in August this year and the men's grooming brand House99, which was listed in September, all benefited from the implementation of this system. Tu Chunyi, head of product safety and regulatory affairs at L'Oreal's Asia Pacific region, believes that this institutional innovation will allow the Chinese market to get more “Asian launch” rights. "The biggest advantage is to ensure that new products will be listed as soon as possible, and the best commodity products will be given to consumers as soon as possible to promote the development of the Chinese market."
