How to check filing or registration on official NMPA websites
Check cosmetics filing and registration information only on official NMPA websites: the cosmetics registration and filing information query platform and the NMPA data-search column for cosmetics. Search by product name, registrant or filer, or number, and treat the official display at the time of your search as the record. Jinshang Testing does not host its own product database.
Where to search
Use https://hzpba.nmpa.gov.cn/gccx/ for the cosmetics registration and filing query, and https://datasearch.nmpa.gov.cn/datasearch/home-index.html#category=hzp for the NMPA data-search cosmetics category. Other websites that republish numbers are not an official source.
How to read a result
Confirm that the Chinese name, the registrant or filer, the manufacturer or Domestic Responsible Person, and the product category match the goods you intend to import or sell. If you cannot find a newly submitted ordinary filing, it may still be within the publication window—the Measures provide that the authority publishes relevant information within five working days after registration is granted or filing is completed—or the name you searched may not match the filed name.
Cautions
A customs document or a laboratory report is not a substitute for the public NMPA record. If a number cannot be found, do not invent an explanation for a customer; check spelling, the year in the number, and whether the product is an ordinary filing or a special registration.
Questions we are often asked
Why might a product not appear immediately after filing?
Ordinary filing is completed on submission, and the authority then publishes information within the period provided in the Measures. Search again after that window, and make sure you are using the exact filed name or number.
Can Jinshang confirm a competitor’s status for us?
Anyone can search the official websites. We can help you read what the public page shows; we do not operate a private database.
