Entering the Singapore cosmetics market: what are the notification steps and where does it stall?
Singapore runs a notification system (HSA PRISM); the time goes into the account prerequisites, not the notification itself. The sequence is fixed: Register the company with ACRA -> Open an HSA PRISM account -> Notify each product before placing on the market, in ASEAN notification format.

Follow-up questions
- Q:Can the factory notify on the brand's behalf?
- A:No. The holder must be a locally licensed entity; the factory supplies the technical dossier, GMP evidence and test reports.
- Q:Can the dossier be reused from another ASEAN market?
- A:The technical core largely carries over under the ASEAN annexes; labels and local certificates do not.
