What is MoCRA registration renewal?
Under section 607(a)(3) of the FD&C Act, added by MoCRA, a cosmetic facility registration must be renewed every two years. Cosmetics Direct now shows a registration status and renewal date for each facility. Renewal is a chance to correct details such as categories, brands and the US agent for foreign facilities. There is no government fee.
