On December 4, 2024, an agreement was published in the Official Journal of the Federation (DOF), outlining the requirements for importing medicines and medical devices for the public sector. This agreement allows importing these products without a COFEPRIS sanitary registration, provided certain criteria are met. It aims to expedite supply processes, especially for consolidated purchases under BIRMEX scheme.
The cosmetics industry in Mexico is subject to a robust regulatory framework enforced by the Federal Commission for Protection against Health Risks (COFEPRIS). This oversight aims to safeguard consumer health and ensure product safety and quality. Given the growing popularity of cosmetics, understanding these regulations is crucial for businesses operating within this sector.
