Cosmetics labeling recovery for Bahrain
LIFA coordinated corrective cosmetics labeling for a Bahrain shipment, securing release and introducing checks for subsequent product orders.
- The buyer
- A Manama, Bahrain importer of cosmetics and personal care.
- The product scope
- Skincare and haircare; 18 SKUs, first import order.
What needed to change?
The first container was held at customs: labels lacked Arabic text, expiry format, and the importer registration number required by the national food and drug authority.
How LIFA managed the work
We mapped the labeling requirements from the authority's guidance.
We arranged compliant label over-printing and re-application.
We qualified 2 suppliers that provide compliant labeling at source.
We built a pre-shipment label compliance checklist for all future SKUs.
Container released after compliant labeling; 14 days of delay absorbed; future shipments arrive pre-compliant; a second brand signed on.
From our company project database, with the work, approvals and results shown together.
What this project shows
