Do Foreign Cosmetic Brands Need CDSCO COS-2 Registration to Sell Products in India?

Yes, all foreign cosmetic brands must obtain CDSCO Cosmetic Import Registration (COS-2) before selling products in India.

You cannot legally import, distribute, or sell cosmetics in India without this approval. The application must be filed through an Authorized Indian Agent, along with complete product and manufacturer documentation.
