After the Article 2 of the Cosmetics Regulation , an importer is "any natural or legal person established within the Community, who places a cosmetic product from a third country on the Community market."

The importer is the responsible person:
• for an imported cosmetic product he places on the market.
The importer may, by written mandate, designate a person established within the Community as the responsible person who shall accept in writing.
