US Imports makes registering your facility with FDA quick and easy. We can serve as the U.S. Agent for food facilities located outside the United States.
All U.S. and foreign facilities that manufacture, process, pack or store food, beverage or dietary supplements to be consumed in the United States must register with U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Facilities not located in the United States must appoint a U.S. Agent physically located in the United States to communicate with FDA. Upon registration you will receive a certificate confirming your FDA facility registration number.
What’s included:
FDA Food Facility Registration submission
U.S. Agent designation for foreign facilities
Official FDA-issued registration number
Certificate confirming registration
Ongoing U.S. Agent representation for FDA communications
Who it’s for:
Manufacturers, processors, packers, or storage facilities — U.S. or foreign — that handle food, beverages, or dietary supplements intended for U.S. consumption.
FAQ:
Do I need a U.S. Agent? Only if your facility is outside the United States. Domestic facilities register directly.
How long does registration take? Typically 1–2 business days after we receive your facility information.
Does FDA registration expire? Yes. Renewal is required every even-numbered year (Oct–Dec window).
This is an annual subscription. Your card will be charged $689 today and automatically renewed every 12 months at the same price unless you cancel. You can cancel anytime from your account at usimports.us/account. We'll email you a reminder 7 days before each renewal.
The Foreign Supplier Verification Program (FSVP) rule requires every U.S. food and dietary supplement importer to develop, maintain, and follow an FSVP Plan. Products without an adequate FSVP Plan can be refused entry at U.S. ports. We build your plan from the ground up, customized to your products and suppliers.
What's Included:
Custom-built FSVP Plan tailored to your product and supplier(s)
Foreign supplier hazard analysis and risk evaluation
Supplier verification activity recommendations (on-site audit, sampling, records review — whichever matches your risk profile)
Corrective-action procedures documented per FSMA requirements
Records retention guidance for FDA inspection readiness
One round of revisions included after your review
Who It's For:
U.S. importers of human food, beverage, or dietary supplements sourcing from foreign suppliers. FSVP applies regardless of company size. If you import food into the U.S. for resale, you almost certainly need a plan.
FAQs:
Q: How is FSVP Plan different from FSVP Agent?
A: The Plan is the written program. The Agent is the qualified individual who performs the FSVP activities for the U.S. importer. Many U.S. importers without a qualified individual on staff buy both. US Imports serves as your qualified individual only. We do not act as the FSVP importer or importer of record.
Q: How long does it take to build a plan?
A: Typically 2–3 weeks from intake to final deliverable, depending on how many suppliers and product categories are involved.
Q: Does FDA approve my FSVP Plan?
A: No. FDA doesn't pre-approve plans. You must develop, maintain, and follow your plan; FDA inspects it on demand.
Under FDA's Foreign Supplier Verification Program (FSVP) rule, every U.S. importer must use a qualified individual to develop its FSVP and perform the verification work: hazard analysis, supplier evaluation, verification activities and record review. US Imports serves as your outsourced FSVP qualified individual, so you don't need to hire or train one.
What's Included:
Qualified-individual FSVP Agent service per product (select 1, 2, or 3 products on this page)
Support during FDA FSVP inspections and records requests
Organized FSVP records, ready for FDA's 24-hour records request
Annual review of supplier verification activities
Email and phone support for FDA inquiries during the coverage year
Discount pricing for larger product counts — email info@usimports.us for 4+ products
Who It's For:
U.S. importers (the U.S. owner or consignee of the food at entry) without a qualified individual on staff.
Important: We serve as your qualified individual only. US Imports does not act as the FSVP importer or importer of record. If your company is outside the U.S. and has no U.S. owner or consignee, a U.S. party must agree in writing to be the FSVP importer first. Once that importer is in place, we can serve as its qualified individual.
FAQs:
Q: Can US Imports be our FSVP importer?
A: No. The FSVP importer carries the legal responsibility for the food. We perform the qualified-individual work for the importer.
Q: What does the variant (1 / 2 / 3 Products) mean?
A: Each "Product" is a distinct food item or product line that requires its own FSVP determination. If you import three different products from the same supplier, that's 3 Products. Pricing scales because the verification work scales with product count.
Q: Can I add more products later?
A: Yes. Email info@usimports.us and we'll quote the incremental addition mid-cycle.
Q: How does this renew?
A: Annual subscription. Same card auto-charged on the anniversary date unless you cancel. Cancel anytime from your account. If you cancel, you must designate a replacement qualified individual before service ends — we'll remind you of this when you cancel.
This is an annual subscription. Your card will be charged either $1500/$2495/$3490 (depending on the selected option) today and automatically renewed every 12 months at the same price unless you cancel. You can cancel anytime from your account at usimports.us/account. We'll email you a reminder 7 days before each renewal.

Basic vs. Expert review — which do I need? Basic confirms required FDA label elements are present and correct. Expert adds ingredient review, detailed nutrition/supplemental facts review, and suggested revisions. Choose Expert if you want us to rewrite, not just check.

Who It's For:
Any brand where labeling errors carry higher stakes . Also a fit for importers or retail buyers who require an expert review on file.
FAQs:
Q: How is Expert different from Basic?
A: Basic confirms your label meets FDA's mandatory elements and flags obvious compliance issues. Expert adds CFR-cited written rationale for each revision, deeper ingredient/claim analysis, and a prioritized action-point report.
Q: What does "1 / 2 / 3 Labels" mean?
A: Each label is one distinct product label. Variations of one product (e.g., different sizes of the same flavor with same ingredient panel) count as one label. Different flavors, varieties, or formulations are separate labels.
Q: Do I need a separate Claims Review?
A: Expert Label Review does not cover claims that are part of the label being reviewed. If you make claims on your label or have standalone claims, marketing materials, or website language to review, the FDA Claims Review service is the right fit.
Labeling claims must comply with FDA regulations or your product will be considered misbranded and denied entry. Our specialists review your claims and offer alternative wording to maintain FDA compliance — nutrient content, organic, health, and other regulated claims. Food and dietary supplement importers should ensure they thoroughly understand FDA regulations before making claims on product labels. Claims not complying with U.S. law result in a product being considered misbranded — subject to FDA enforcement and private-party false advertising lawsuits. A claim is any representation made about a product on the label, website, flyer, or even social media.
What’s included:
Our specialists can review your claims and offer alternative suggestions to maintain FDA compliance, including:
Nutrient content claims
Organic claims
Health claims
Other regulated claims (natural, fresh, non-GMO, gluten-free, etc.)
And more
Some claims are pre-approved by FDA regulations; others are permissible so long as they are truthful and not misleading. Knowing which rules apply before making claims can help you avoid costly mistakes before shipping to the U.S.
Who it’s for:
Food and dietary supplement brands making marketing claims on packaging, websites, or advertising.
FAQ:
What counts as a “claim”? Any representation about the product — on label, website, flyer, social media, or advertising.
What happens if my claim isn’t compliant? The product is considered misbranded. FDA can detain or refuse entry, and you may face false-advertising lawsuits.
Will you rewrite my claim? Yes — we offer alternative wording that achieves your marketing goal while staying FDA-compliant.
