Under Vietnamese law, every organization and individual responsible for bringing cosmetic products to market must complete a cosmetics product announcement at the Department of Drug Administration of Vietnam before circulation. Products are only permitted for market entry after receiving an official acceptance number for their product announcement, and they must strictly comply with all safety and efficacy regulations.

To help businesses navigate the cosmetic product announcement procedures conveniently, quickly, and legally, Real Logistics offers professional, all-inclusive cosmetics product announcement services. Let's explore the details in this article.

1. What is Cosmetics Product Announcement?

Cosmetics product announcement is the process where organizations or individuals manufacturing or importing cosmetic products complete the necessary procedures with the competent State management agency to obtain an acceptance number for their cosmetic product announcement form. This legal document confirms the product meets market circulation requirements, and the business bears full responsibility for the product's safety, efficacy, and quality.

It's fair to say that cosmetic market circulation announcement is a prerequisite, almost mandatory step for introducing a product to the market. Therefore, finding a reliable partner to execute this process "quickly, efficiently, and effectively" is a top concern for many business owners.
