Cosmetic Product Notification & PIF Compliance in Vietnam
Green NRJ provides structured regulatory support for imported and locally manufactured cosmetic products. Our scope covers product notification, PIF readiness, labeling and claims review, and cosmetics advertising licensing to ensure full regulatory alignment and post-market inspection readiness.
Understanding Cosmetic Regulatory Compliance in Vietnam
What “Cosmetic Compliance” Means in Vietnam
Vietnam applies a mandatory notification regime for cosmetics prior to market circulation. While notification is processed through the Ministry of Health portal, enforcement primarily occurs post-market.
During inspections, authorities may request your Product Information File (PIF), review labeling accuracy, verify INCI naming alignment, and assess advertising claims.
A notification number alone does not guarantee regulatory safety. Companies must ensure cross-document consistency and inspection readiness.
- Notification compliance – Proper dossier and portal filing
- PIF readiness – Complete and inspection-available documentation
- Label & INCI alignment – No mismatch across documents
- Advertising control – Approved and compliant claims

- Stability and microbiological data
- Claims substantiation materials
Service 03 — Cosmetics Advertising License (Content Approval)
