To import these goods into the USA you need:

According to the FDA, cosmetics are all products, with the exception of pure soaps, that are intended to be applied to the body for the purpose of cleansing, enhancing attractiveness, or changing appearance. Examples include bath oil, eyebrow pencils, eau de toilette, hairspray, blush, and nail polish.

The FDA does not require mandatory registration or certification for cosmetics producers.

However, there is an opportunity to register under the FDA VCRP voluntary program, which offers sellers a competitive advantage. This procedure includes:

1. Manufacturer registration
2. Imported goods registration

To do this, it is necessary to analyze the product label for compliance with the FDA requirements in advance.

OTC drugs are over-the-counter (non-prescription) drugs.

If the characteristics of these products (ingredients, doses, and use) match the active ingredient monographs previously registered with the FDA, they may be legally sold in the United States without registration.

Otherwise, you need to:

1. Register a new drug
2. Submit an SPL (drug list)

The FDA defines a medical device as an instrument, device, appliance, machine, implant, or other item that diagnoses, treats, mitigates, or prevents disease for humans or animals, or affects the structure or function of the body if this cannot be done with drugs.
