In accordance with the requirements of Section 2.1 of the "Technical Guidelines for Children's Cosmetics," imported children's cosmetics should, in principle, be filed with the classification code and declared category based on the efficacy claims, application areas, target user group, product dosage form, and usage methods indicated on the sales packaging labels (including instructions) from the country (region) of the cosmetics registrant, filer, or the country (region) of manufacture.

2. What should be considered when reporting the naming basis for children's cosmetics product names?

According to the requirements of Section 2.2 of the "Technical Guidelines for Children's Cosmetics," imported children's cosmetics should submit both the product's foreign name and the Chinese name, and explain the correspondence between the Chinese and foreign names (except for those designed exclusively for the Chinese market without a foreign name); if there is no clear correspondence, a scientific and reasonable explanation should be provided.

Furthermore, the attribute name should reflect the product's true physical characteristics or form, and be consistent with the sensory index content related to the standards that the product adheres to.
