An authorized Indian agent for cosmetic imports in India can be an Indian importer, distributor, or an Indian subsidiary of the foreign manufacturer that is legally registered in India. The agent must hold a valid business registration, Import Export Code (IEC), and GST registration to represent the foreign manufacturer before CDSCO.
The authorized Indian agent is responsible for submitting Form COS-1 on the CDSCO SUGAM portal, holding the COS-2 Import Registration Certificate, responding to regulatory queries, and ensuring post-approval compliance such as labeling updates and regulatory endorsements.
Because CDSCO communicates only with the Indian entity during the approval process, appointing a compliant and experienced authorized Indian agent is critical for smooth cosmetic import registration and customs clearance.
