Question 1

How do I sell cosmetics legally in Taiwan?

Accepted Answer

Before market you must (1) complete TFDA product notification, (2) compile a 16-section Product Information File (PIF), (3) have the safety assessment signed by a Taiwan-qualified safety assessor, and (4) use compliant Traditional Chinese labels without exaggerated or medical claims. UNIYU/SHPR handles all four.

Question 2

Do imported or foreign cosmetics need a PIF in Taiwan?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Since 1 July 2026 every cosmetic sold in Taiwan, including general and imported cosmetics, must have a PIF before market. Home-market certificates (Korea, Japan, Australia, EU) are not sufficient on their own; a locally compiled PIF and a Taiwan-qualified signature are required.

Question 3

Who can sign the safety assessment in a Taiwan PIF?

Accepted Answer

Only a safety assessor recognized as qualified in Taiwan. Dr. Fu-Yu Chan — an EU toxicologist and Taiwan-qualified cosmetic safety assessor — signs it personally; valid for Taiwan, the EU, the UK and ASEAN.

Question 4

Are my Korean or EU documents enough to sell in Taiwan?

Accepted Answer

No. Overseas documentation cannot replace Taiwan-specific work: ingredient screening against Taiwan lists, a Taiwan safety assessment, a qualified-assessor signature, and TFDA notification. We bridge your existing documents to Taiwan compliance.

Question 5

How much does the PIF16 safety-data signature cost?

Accepted Answer

Limited-time NT$16,000 (20% off NT$20,000) and it includes PIF10 ingredient toxicology (value NT$8,000). Covers the safety-assessment conclusion report, qualified signature, review of PIF sections 1–15, and per-batch monitoring.

Question 6

在台灣販售化妝品一定要有 PIF 嗎？

Accepted Answer

是。依《化粧品衛生安全管理法》，化粧品在上架、贈送、公開陳列或提供試用前，必須完成產品登錄並建立產品資訊檔案（PIF）。自 2026 年 7 月 1 日起一般化粧品亦全面適用。

Question 7

誰可以簽署化粧品 PIF 的安全性評估？

Accepted Answer

必須由台灣認可的合格安全評估員簽署才具法律效力。UNIYU 皮膚健康促進研究中心由歐盟毒理師／台灣化粧品安全評估員 詹馥妤博士 親自簽署，適用台灣、歐盟、英國與東協。

Question 8

沒有建立 PIF 就上市會有什麼後果？

Accepted Answer

依第 23 條可處新台幣 1 萬至 100 萬元罰鍰並得連續處罰，情節重大者得勒令歇業、廢止登錄或許可。
