Please note that registration term of a cosmetic product shall be 5 years. After 5 years, you shall have to start new registration.
The application dossier shall be submitted online and there is no hard copy of Cosmetic Proclamation (Final result) issued. The Cosmetic Proclamation shall be delivered in PDF format.
