Who Registers — the Brand or the Factory?
Because Andorra is a brand and distribution hub rather than a factory base, the registration often sits with someone other than the brand. The facility that physically makes, packs, or holds the product registers — but the brand owner still has roles to play.
| Your situation | Who registers with the FDA | Your likely role |
|---|---|---|
| You manufacture in Andorra | Your facility | Registrant + U.S. Agent |
| Brand here, made under contract abroad | The contract manufacturer | Labeler / Responsible Person |
| You distribute or import | The supplier's facility | U.S. importer / FSVP |
| Cosmetics (MoCRA) | The manufacturing facility | Responsible Person + listing |
One product, several roles. An Andorra brand can be the labeler, the Responsible Person, and the U.S. importer all at once, while a separate facility does the manufacturing and registers. We untangle who holds which duty — facility registration, U.S. Agent, MoCRA Responsible Person, FSVP — so every requirement is covered and none is doubled up.
A Brand Hub, Cleared for the U.S.
Andorra la Vella is the principality's business, retail, banking, and wellness capital — a duty-free hub known for brands, distribution, and spa and wellness culture more than for factories. Many Andorra businesses own a cosmetics, supplement, or specialty-food brand and have it made under contract in Spain, France, or elsewhere.
That's why the FDA work here starts with mapping roles: the manufacturing facility registers and appoints a U.S. Agent, while the Andorra brand owner handles labeling, claims, MoCRA Responsible Person duties, and any importer or FSVP role. We also register Andorra's own makers — specialty foods, herbal goods, and spring water. We're a U.S.-based firm serving Andorra la Vella brands across every FDA-regulated category.

Frequently Asked Questions — FDA Consulting in Andorra la Vella
Do companies in Andorra la Vella need FDA registration to sell in the U.S.?
It depends on your role. If you manufacture, pack, or hold FDA-regulated products, your facility registers. If you're a brand owner or distributor whose products are made elsewhere, the manufacturing facility registers — but you may still have labeling, listing, or U.S. Agent obligations. We sort out exactly what applies.
What makes Andorra distinctive for FDA compliance?
Andorra is a business, retail, and wellness hub more than a factory base, so many Andorra companies are brand owners or distributors rather than manufacturers. The key question here is usually “who registers — the brand or the factory?” and we answer it for your setup.
Our brand is in Andorra but our product is made in Spain or France — who registers?
The facility that actually manufactures, packs, or holds the product registers with the FDA, wherever it sits. As the Andorra brand owner, you typically handle labeling and claims, and for some products you also carry a listing or Responsible Person role. We map both sides.
What is a U.S. Agent, and do we need one?
A U.S. Agent is a contact in the United States that every foreign facility must appoint for the FDA. Whether you're the manufacturer or the brand owner working with a foreign facility, that facility needs a U.S. Agent, and FDA Registration Assistance can serve in that role.
We're a cosmetics or skincare brand — what does MoCRA require?
Under MoCRA, the cosmetic manufacturing facility registers, products are listed, and a Responsible Person — often the brand owner or U.S. importer — is named and substantiates safety. For an Andorra cosmetics brand, we set up the facility registration, listings, and Responsible Person role.
Who is the “Responsible Person” for cosmetics?
It's the manufacturer, packer, or distributor whose name appears on the label, responsible for safety records and listings. An Andorra brand owner is frequently the Responsible Person, and we help you meet those duties or pair them with your U.S. importer.
We sell dietary supplements — what applies?
Supplements are regulated as foods, so the manufacturing facility registers and follows U.S. cGMP under Part 111, with a Supplement Facts label and carefully worded claims. If you're the brand and a contract manufacturer makes them, we align the facility registration with your labeling.
Does wellness or spa product branding change anything?
The product's category — cosmetic, supplement, food, or drug — drives the rules, not the marketing. Wellness and spa claims can tip a product into drug territory, so we review claims to keep a cosmetic or supplement from becoming an unapproved drug.
We're a distributor, not a maker — what are our obligations?
A distributor may be the U.S. importer of record, may appear on the label, or may coordinate the supplier's registration. We identify which role you hold and make sure the registering facility, the U.S. Agent, and any FSVP duties are all covered.
What is FSVP, and who is responsible for it?
The Foreign Supplier Verification Program is the U.S. importer's responsibility — they verify that the foreign supplier meets U.S. safety standards. We support both sides: the supplier's registration and documentation, and the importer's FSVP, so shipments clear.
How does a foreign facility register with the FDA?
The facility submits a foreign facility registration through the FDA's system, obtains a DUNS Number as its Unique Facility Identifier, and appoints a U.S. Agent. We prepare and submit the registration and keep it current through each renewal.
Does FDA registration mean our product is FDA approved?
No. Registration and listing are mandatory steps that let you enter the U.S. market; they are not FDA approval or endorsement. Claiming “FDA approved” when you are only registered is itself a violation.
Do labels need to change for the U.S. market?
Usually, yes. U.S. labels must be in English with required statements — Nutrition or Supplement Facts, ingredient and allergen declarations, net quantity, or cosmetic labeling — and accurate claims. We review and correct labels so products aren't refused for misbranding.
We make small-batch specialty foods or herbal products in Andorra — do we register?
Yes. A facility that makes specialty foods, honey, herbal goods, or similar products registers as a foreign food facility, labels correctly, and meets safety rules. We handle the registration and U.S. Agent for small Andorra producers.
Does Andorra spring or mineral water need anything special?
Bottled water is regulated as a food with its own FDA quality and labeling standards. A bottler registers as a foreign food facility and meets those standards, and we confirm what applies before you ship.
What is Prior Notice?
Prior Notice is an electronic notice filed with the FDA before each food shipment arrives in the U.S. It's usually handled on the U.S. side, and we coordinate it with your importer so shipments aren't held at the port of entry.
Our product uses ingredients or additives common in Europe — is that a problem?
It can be. The U.S. permits only specific additives and color additives, and an ingredient legal in the EU may not be allowed here. We review your formula and labeling against U.S. rules and flag anything that needs to change.
Do over-the-counter drugs or pharmaceuticals register?
Yes. A foreign drug establishment registers and lists with the FDA, appoints a U.S. Agent, follows cGMP, and uses an NDC labeler code. If you're the brand and a contract manufacturer makes the drug, we align the facility registration with your labeler role.
Do medical device exporters register?
Yes. Foreign device establishments register and list with the FDA, appoint a U.S. Agent, follow the QMSR, and use the right pathway, such as a 510(k) where required. We map the requirements for any Andorra device brand or maker.
What happens if a shipment doesn't comply at the U.S. border?
The FDA can refuse admission, detain the shipment, or place it on an import alert, and goods may be re-exported or destroyed. Common triggers include an unregistered facility, a missing U.S. Agent, or non-compliant ingredients or labels — all of which we help you prevent.
Can one company be both the brand owner and the importer?
Yes, and many are. You can own the brand, import into the U.S., and serve as the Responsible Person, while a separate facility manufactures. We map each role so nothing is missed and no duty is double-counted.
Is FDA registration the same as meeting customs and trade rules?
No. FDA registration is separate from, and in addition to, U.S. customs, import, and other applicable trade laws. We handle the FDA side; your importer and customs broker handle entry and any other requirements.
Can FDA Registration Assistance act as our U.S. Agent or Responsible Person support?
Yes. We serve as the U.S. Agent for foreign facilities and the FSVP Agent for U.S. importers, and we support cosmetic Responsible Person duties, managing your registrations and listings across food, supplements, cosmetics, drugs, and devices.
Is a DUNS Number required, and does registration renew?
Yes to both. Food facility registration requires a DUNS Number as the Unique Facility Identifier, and foreign food and cosmetic facility registrations renew biennially while drug and device registrations renew annually. We obtain the DUNS and manage renewals.
