How long does CDSCO cosmetic import license approval take in India?

The standard approval timeline for a CDSCO cosmetic import license (COS-2) in India is 60 to 90 working days, depending on documentation accuracy and regulatory scrutiny.

However, when applications are filed correctly with complete and compliant documentation, approvals can be obtained faster. In practice, Regacats Solutions typically completes the cosmetic import licensing process within 30–35 working days, subject to CDSCO review and absence of regulatory queries.
