Cosmetics product compliance in Mexico
Review the product, its packaging, and the responsible entity together. MexInc Consultants helps organize the label and import questions for cosmetics sold in Mexico.
What to consider
Three areas to review for cosmetics
Product and claims
Review intended use, ingredients, and claims for items such as makeup, skincare, and fragrance. Products with different uses or claims may need different review.
Packaging and Spanish labels
Collect current artwork and product details. Check the applicable labeling rules for information such as ingredients, instructions, and warnings.
Importer and operations notice
Identify the responsible entity and review whether an Aviso de Funcionamiento or another filing applies to its activities.
Planning steps
Prepare cosmetics for an import review
Build the product list
List each product, formula or ingredient declaration, intended use, and current label. Include any safety documentation you have.
Review classification and labeling
Check how the intended use and claims affect the review. Identify changes to Spanish wording, warnings, and packaging information.
Check the local setup
Confirm the importer and who would be responsible for any notices and supporting records.
Coordinate the shipment
Align the final artwork and product records with the importer’s documentation before planning clearance and delivery.
Common questions
Can I add a Spanish label to existing packaging?
Bring the packaging and proposed label for review. Whether an added label is suitable depends on the applicable labeling rules, the package, and where the required information will appear.
Should I review different shades or formulations together?
List them together and identify differences in formula, claims, or packaging. That makes it easier to see which items may need a separate review.
