What types of export certificates does FDA issue for cosmetics?
When applying for a cosmetic export certificate from the Administration, you will be given two options:
- Product-Specific: This type includes a list of all certified products. You must submit this 'Product List,' with all products listed by their brand and product names, exactly as they appear on the cosmetic product labels
OR
- General: This type does not include a list of products. In this instance the FDA suggests that you determine whether this type of certificate meets the requirements of your importing country before requesting one, because it is not always accepted.
Each certificate package includes a cover letter, certificate(s), 'To Whom It May Concern' letter(s) (with your exporting company’s name and address), and an invoice for certificates delivered.
