Importing FDA-regulated products into the United States requires proper compliance steps to avoid costly shipment delays, holds, or refusals. Depending on your product type and role in the supply chain, you may need FDA facility registrations, product listings, a U.S. Agent, DUNS/UFI assistance, Prior Notice submissions, and accurate FDA entry information.
FDA Registration Assistance provides complete FDA import compliance support for food, supplements, cosmetics, drugs, and medical devices — helping businesses enter the U.S. market smoothly and confidently.
What People Mean by “FDA Import Registration”
Many businesses use the phrase “FDA import registration” to describe the overall process of becoming compliant before shipping products into the United States. In reality, FDA does not issue one single importer registration for all products.
Instead, import compliance usually includes a combination of required FDA registrations or listings, U.S. Agent services for certain foreign facilities, DUNS/UFI support for food and FSVP-related requirements, Prior Notice filings for food shipments, and correct FDA entry data.
We review your specific products and shipping structure to determine exactly what applies — and handle every step for you.

FDA Import Requirements by Product Type
Food & Dietary Supplements
Food imports commonly require FDA facility registration for manufacturers, Prior Notice submissions before arrival, and importer compliance related to FSVP. Many food importers also require DUNS/UFI assistance and supplier verification guidance.
Cosmetics
Under the Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act (MoCRA), many cosmetic facilities must be registered and cosmetic products listed with FDA. Proper ingredient and labeling compliance is also essential for smooth import clearance.
Drugs & Pharmaceuticals
Drug manufacturers generally require FDA establishment registration and drug product listing. Import entry data must match FDA records precisely to prevent detentions.
Medical Devices
Medical device companies typically need FDA establishment registration, device listing, and annual user fee compliance. Missing or incorrect information is one of the most common causes of import delays.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to register as an importer with the FDA?
Not always. FDA requirements depend on your product category and role. Many importers complete compliance steps such as Prior Notice, DUNS/UFI assistance, and ensuring manufacturers are properly registered rather than a single importer registration.
What does FDA review when products are imported?
FDA reviews electronic entry data and may request documentation or take actions such as release, hold, detention, or refusal depending on compliance and risk factors.
Do food importers need DUNS or UFI assistance?
Many food-related compliance programs, including FSVP-related processes, require a Unique Facility Identifier such as DUNS/UFI for entry readiness.
Is Prior Notice required for food shipments?
Most food imports require Prior Notice before arriving in the United States. Missing or incorrect Prior Notice is a leading cause of shipment delays.
Do foreign companies need a U.S. Agent?
Many foreign FDA-regulated facilities must designate a U.S. Agent for registration purposes and FDA communications.
How long does FDA import compliance take?
Timelines vary by product category and readiness of information, but most filings are completed quickly once required details are provided.
Can you help if my shipment is already held?
Yes. We assist with reviewing FDA notices, correcting compliance gaps, and guiding corrective actions.
