Perfumes and cosmetic products – crèmes, mousses, shampoos, lotions, conditioners and even tooth and nail products - that are supplied to Russia or such Customs Union countries as Belarus, Kazakhstan, Armenia and Kirgizia should be certified. There are 2 Regulations for such kind of products in the CU:

All cosmetic products (including decorative cosmetics) with no pharmaceutical effect are to be certified according to TR CU 009. One separate DoC is to be issued for each declared product type. This means that if you export, for example, tonics, moisture masks and shampoos, you need to apply for 1 DoC for tonics, 1 DoC for moisture masks and 1 DoC for shampoos. Moreover, each Declaration of Conformity could enlist several test report.
