For Foreign Brands and Importers
Import Registration (Form COS-1 / COS-2)

Authorized Indian Agent Services
Foreign manufacturers without an Indian office are required to appoint an Authorized Indian Agent to act as their local representative for regulatory matters. Omega QMS serves as your authorized agent, managing all interactions with CDSCO, maintaining compliance documentation, and ensuring timely renewals.
For Indian Manufacturers
Manufacturing License (Form COS-5 / COS-8)
Indian manufacturers of cosmetic products must obtain a Manufacturing License from the respective State Licensing Authority (SLA). This license certifies that your facility meets Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards and is authorized to produce cosmetic products for sale in India.
Our Manufacturing License Services Include:

- Application preparation and submission to State Licensing Authority
