Frequently Asked Questions About NPRA Cosmetic Notification

Straight answers to what brands ask most.

See all questions →

What is NPRA cosmetic notification in Malaysia?
NPRA cosmetic notification is a mandatory process in Malaysia where all cosmetic products must be notified to the National Pharmaceutical Regulatory Agency (NPRA) before they can be legally sold. Governed by the Control of Drugs and Cosmetics Regulations 1984, a successful notification results in a unique NOT number confirming the product's compliance for the Malaysian market.
What is a NOT number in Malaysia?
A NOT number is a unique Notification Number issued by NPRA to each cosmetic product that has been successfully notified. It is shown on the Notification Note issued to the notifying company (since 1 January 2008 it is not printed on the product label) and confirms the product meets Malaysian regulatory compliance standards. Selling cosmetics in Malaysia without a valid NOT number is a legal offence under the Control of Drugs and Cosmetics Regulations 1984.
How long does NPRA cosmetic notification take?
NPRA cosmetic notification typically takes 2 to 4 weeks end to end, including document preparation and ingredient checks. Once a complete Quest 3+ submission is made and NPRA confirms payment, the notification number is generated within 1–3 working days. Delays commonly occur when documents are incomplete or restricted ingredients are present. Our team pre-checks all documents and formulations before submission to minimise back-and-forth and accelerate your approval timeline.
How much does NPRA cosmetic notification cost?
The NPRA government notification fee is set by regulation and applies per product notified. Our professional service fees depend on the scope of work — the number of products, formulation complexity, and whether document preparation or CNH representation is required. We provide a transparent, fixed quote after your free initial consultation with no hidden charges.
