On June 27, 2019, Taiwan FDA announces a new requirement on the imported products labeling.
The imported cosmetics that the external packaging or container contains “薬用”, “薬”, “医薬”, “Medicate” or any equivalent meaning in a foreign language, and the governed as OTC drug, quasi drug in original exporting countries, shall add additional warning sentence on the external packaging or container:”「本产品属化妆品，不具医疗效能。」”, which means: “This product is a cosmetic product and has no medical effect.”
This regulation comes into effect on July 1, 2019. Products imported before the effective date can continue to be sold within the originally recorded storage period and will expire five years from the date of implementation of the Cosmetics Health and Safety Management Law.
