The act of trading in cosmetics products that have not been declared (not licensed for circulation) is considered a violation subject to penalty under Article 2, Article 68 of Decree No. 117/2020/ND-CP dated September 28, 2020, by the Government regulating administrative penalties in the healthcare sector.
Circular No. 06/2011/TT-BYT of the Ministry of Health stipulates that organizations and individuals responsible for bringing products to the market are those listed on the product declaration dossier for cosmetics and are responsible for those cosmetics on the market.
Ms. Nguyen Thi Diem Huong (Tien Giang) asks whether she would be penalized for trading in cosmetics (not manufacturing or declaring cosmetics) that have not been declared.
Regarding this issue, the Ministry of Health responds as follows:
Establishments trading in cosmetics but not listed on the cosmetics product declaration dossier: When engaging in cosmetic business activities, compliance with legal provisions must be ensured, including ensuring that the cosmetics being traded have a source of origin and are permitted for circulation on the market.
Therefore, trading in cosmetics products that have not been declared (not licensed for circulation) is considered a violation subject to penalty under Article 2, Article 68 of Decree No. 117/2020/ND-CP dated September 28, 2020, by the Government regulating administrative penalties in the healthcare sector.
