About the Indian Market

With the e-commerce boom, one of the industries that has seen a rapid growth is the Cosmetics Industry. With market growth rates well above 30%, the market is showing great promise for new entrants. New entrants such as Nykaa have seen compounding growth and have established themselves as industry leaders.

Such growth rates present themselves with opportunities and challenges. While new brands are developed everyday, consumers are wary about the quality of products. High quality products from Italy, France, Korea, Japan, China, are being widely accepted, and preferred to the domestically produced competition.

With the industry reaching astronomical scale and reach, Indian government introduced regulations to keep in check the quality of cosmetics in India. International companies require Import Registration (Form 43) to import and sell cosmetics in India. To import cosmetics in India, one needs to have FORM 43, issued by CDSCO office, New Delhi. The registration is valid for 3 years.

Also introduced was a requirement for Indian Authorized Agent, acting as the companies representative in India.

To apply for a new product import license (FORM 43), one has to file Form 42 with the CDSCO office, New Delhi. With FDA Consultants India Pty, all the heavy lifting is left to us and the company can focus on its core operation. Our work includes:

• Product Categorization
• Product Analysis
• Labelling Assistance and Compliance
• Product Dossier Formulation
• Documentation & Submission
• Follow-ups with CDSCO
• Answering of Queries
• Smooth procurement of FORM 43 from CDSCO

When a company already has a valid Form 43, and wants to add more products to it, it has to apply for an endorsement to the Form 43. With our assistance, the cumbersome process is simplified.

FORM 43 issued by the CDSCO has a validity of 3 Years. Applicants are required to renew the form before its expiry to keep importing the cosmetics.

Minor changes such as small changes in label, change in ingredients, etc. are to be duly notified to the CDSCO office. In case a major change is there, the applicant has to apply for a fresh Form 43.
