Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a Responsible Person to sell cosmetics in Türkiye?
Yes. A Turkish Responsible Person is mandatory for placing cosmetics on the national market as the RP must be physically established in Türkiye. At Obelis Group, through our offices in Türkiye, we are fully authorised to act as your in-country representative.
What happens if a product violates Turkish regulations despite having an RP?
If a cosmetic is found to violate Turkish regulations, authorities may impose actions such as UTS suspension, product withdrawal, import delays, administrative penalties or mandatory reformulation. Non-compliant labelling or missing documentation may also lead to product blocking at customs. The RP helps mitigate these risks and addresses compliance issues with authorities.
What is a Cosmetic Product Information File (ÜBD/PIF) in Türkiye?
It is a mandatory dossier that documents all product information, formulation, safety assessments, and manufacturing processes for cosmetics sold in Türkiye. A compliant PIF demonstrates adherence to Turkish legislation and GMP, protecting your brand.
