Cosmetics Export Compliance Checklist (EU / US / UK / JP / KR)

Reviewing export compliance documents

Why this exists Most export delays are not caused by formula problems. They come from missing documents: a DoC with the wrong responsible party, a label without the local language net content, or a packaging file that never got an EPR registration number. What is inside The responsible-party requirement per market and who can legally sign it. The label elements that differ by country (net content formatting, language, importer address). Which markets require a notified formula dossier before shipment versus after. Packaging and EPR obligations, including the PPWR timeline for the EU. How to use it Walk the checklist before you freeze artwork. Changing a label after printing is the single most expensive compliance mistake in this industry.
