Questions founders ask us

Do imported cosmetics need registration in India?

Yes — imported cosmetics need an import registration certificate before sale, and marketplaces and customs both check. We handle the CDSCO registration and the Indian agent structure if you have no local entity.

Is one compliance set enough for the EU and UK?

No — post-Brexit the UK needs its own Responsible Person and SCPN notification alongside the EU CPNP set. We run both as one workstream so nothing is missed.

What is MoCRA and does it affect me?

MoCRA is the new US cosmetics law requiring facility registration, product listing and safety substantiation — including for foreign manufacturers selling into the US. If you sell in the US, it applies.

Compliance rarely stops at one workstream. Regulatory strategy feeds product development; a licensed facility unlocks WHO-GMP and export; a registration in one market becomes the template for the next. AIDNI runs all of it as one connected practice, so nothing falls between advisors.
