I will prepare a korea market entry regulatory report for cosmetics or supplements


About this gig
Planning to sell cosmetics or health supplements in Korea? Before you ship, you need to know how MFDS will classify your product, who must register what, and which label lines and claims will get you stopped.
I am a Korean pharmacy graduate (M.Pharm) with 17 years in pharmaceutical development and regulatory documents. I read the Korean source regulations directly and turn them into a clear English report.
What you get
- Product classification: general vs functional cosmetic, general food vs health functional food
- Who must register (importer, responsible distributor) and the documents involved
- Ingredient screening against Korean prohibited and restricted lists (Standard, Premium)
- Korean label must-haves and claims to avoid
- Market snapshot: main sales channels and competitor price range (Premium)
- Step-by-step roadmap with realistic timelines
Every point cites the Korean regulation it comes from.
Please message me before ordering with your product type and target channel so I can confirm the right package.
Note: this is a regulatory research report, not legal representation. I do not file applications with MFDS on your behalf.

FAQ
Do you file the MFDS registration for me?
No. I deliver the research and the document checklist. In Korea a local importer or responsible distributor files the registration. My report tells you exactly what they will ask you to provide.
What do you need from me?
Product name and type, the full ingredient list (INCI or supplement facts), your current label and marketing claims, and the sales channel you are aiming for in Korea (online marketplace, retail, or both).
Which products do you cover?
Cosmetics, including sunscreens and functional claims such as whitening or anti-wrinkle, and dietary or health supplements. Drugs and medical devices are outside this gig.
