1. Food registration with FDA,

2. Notify FDA in advance of the shipment of imported food.

These regulations came into effect on December 12, 2003.

2、 The role of FDA certification in food exports to the United States

According to the provisions of US law contained in the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, food importers aimed at introducing interstate commerce in the United States are responsible for ensuring that products are safe, hygienic, and labeled in accordance with US requirements. All imported food is considered interstate trade

The FDA imposes sanctions on individual food importers, products, labels, or goods without legal authorization, approval, certification, licensing, or other means. As long as the facilities for producing, storing, or otherwise handling products have been registered with the FDA, importers can import food into the United States without FDA approval and provide FDA with pre notified goods.

Imported food must undergo FDA inspection at the port of entry into the United States. If it is found that the goods do not meet US requirements, the FDA may withhold the transportation of imported products. Imported and domestically produced food must meet the same legal requirements in the United States.

3、 After FDA certification, food also maintains records in the United States

Food manufacturers, processors, packers, transporters, distributors, recipients, holders, and importers must establish, maintain, and provide FDA with records as required, which will allow the agency to identify all food processed by the facility.

For example, if your business needs to register under the Bioterrorism Act and produce biscuit dough that is subsequently baked and packaged by other facilities, your records must include the name and address of the facility where you obtained the ingredients, as well as the name and address of the facility where the dough was sent for baking and packaging. This is also known as a 'drop' in the distribution chain.

Depending on the type of food business you operate, your food business may need to record the records required by the Bioterrorism Act and provide them to the FDA. You may need to refer to Article 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations to determine which records are required for specific types of facilities and operations. The requirements may vary depending on the food product and the type of food processing in your company. Dear food exporting partners in the United States, products sold in the United States must comply with US regulations, and any records will be recorded on your account.
