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 responsible for performing the FSVP activities in the U.S. — many importers without a U.S. presence buy both. The Plan is the document; the Agent is the human implementation.
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.
