To export cosmetics to the United States, the product must comply with the provisions of the FDA for the sale of cosmetic products in America, in particular with the new MOCRA regulation - "Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act". A permit is not required to import cosmetic products to the American market, but it is necessary to ensure that the ingredients, colorants and labels are FDA compliant, in addition to having a company FDA registration.

With the entry into force of the MOCRA regulation, the most significant change in fact concerns the obligation of FDA registration for companies that intend to export cosmetic products to the American market. The registration must also include the list of ingredients of the various cosmetic products to be sold in the USA. Other important aspects of the new MOCRA regulation on the compliance of cosmetic products intended for the American market are: Appointment of a person responsible for the manufacturing company; Compliance with FDA production standards for cosmetic products [GMP - Good Manufacturing Practices]; Declaration on the label of any allergens present in the cosmetic; Maintenance of documentation relating to the production process and cases of problems arising following the use of the cosmetic. It is the responsibility of the individual manufacturing company to comply with the MOCRA regulation for cosmetic products before exporting to America.
