Cosmetic Products in Canada
Cosmetic Products Regulation
service process
In order to sell cosmetics in Canada, manufacturers and importers must report to Health Canada within 10 days of first selling cosmetics in Canada in accordance with Article 30 of the Cosmetic Regulation. Notification ) There is an obligation to do this. The processing process involves a review period of approximately 2 to 8 weeks after submission of relevant documents and a Cosmetic Number is issued. Reporting is mandatory but not pre-approval. It is possible to start selling at the same time as reporting the CNF, but reporting does not mean that all requirements for legal sales of the product have been met.
Among customers who sell cosmetics on Amazon in Canada, there are cases where products in Amazon warehouses inevitably have to be removed because they do not comply with Canadian cosmetics regulations (not having a Cosmetic Number, etc.). To prevent costly and time-consuming situations, we strongly recommend registering your cosmetics with Health Canada.
