To answer customers’ questions, Viet An Law Firm offers an article on conditions for establishing a cosmetic company.
A cosmetics company is a type of enterprise specializing in manufacturing, selling and distributing care and beauty products such as cosmetics, skin care and other related products.
According to the provisions of the Investment Law 2020, to be able to set up a cosmetics company in Vietnam, foreign investors will have to have an investment project and be granted an investment registration certificate in Vietnam.
Investment conditions for foreign investors are conditions that foreign investors, when carrying out investment activities, are required to satisfy the conditions for investment in conditional investment lines as prescribed in international treaties on investment, relevant laws, ordinances and decrees. Accordingly, the import and distribution of products is an investment field that Vietnam has committed to open when joining the WTO. Therefore, in case investors from countries and territories join the WTO, they will be allowed to trade cosmetics in Vietnam.
In addition, in the case of only trading cosmetics (not manufacturing) but only importing them for resale, this is not a conditional business line.
