10-minute FDA certification: a shortcut to compliance for exporting food and cosmetics from Taiwan to the United States!
Taiwanese cross-border sellers can easily pass FDA certification with these three steps: understanding the product category requirements, completing the necessary facility registrations, and ensuring labeling compliance. These steps may seem simple, but they are the golden key to opening the door to the U.S. market!
Food, cosmetics, health care products, and even medical and healthcare products have always been the strengths of Taiwanese companies. Numerous Taiwanese brand operators haveCross-border e-commerce platformsSuccessfully entered the U.S. market, but you'd never guess that many people fall in the first step - not properly understanding the requirements for FDA approval!
The FDA is the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and as a key regulatory agency of the U.S. federal government, its mission is to protect the health and safety of American consumers. What's really worth noting is that the FDA requirements for different product categories vary greatly! We have found that many Taiwanese cross-border e-commerce sellers do not have enough knowledge about this, resulting in their products not being able to be successfully listed in the US.
For example, when cosmetic masks are sold to the U.S., if they only claim to have a cosmetic effect, they do not need FDA approval and only need to comply with the FDA's cosmetic regulations; however, if they claim to have a therapeutic effect, they are classified as a pharmaceutical cosmetic and need FDA marketing approval. This distinction is crucial for Taiwan's nutritional brands!
What is most surprising is that although pearl milk tea packets, as ordinary food products, do not require prior approval, their labeling requirements are extremely stringent! It must contain the product name, list of ingredients, nutritional labeling and other information, and all must be labeled in English. Tea leaves and tea bags also do not require FDA pre-certification, but the manufacturing facility must be registered with the FDA, which is often overlooked.
The difference in FDA registration between Taiwan companies and U.S. companies is also of concern. A Taiwan company needs an agent in the U.S., while a U.S. company can more easily complete product registration. It is no wonder that more and more cross-border entrepreneurs are choosing to set up their companies in the United States!
FDA certification may seem complicated, but with the right knowledge and process, any Taiwanese manufacturer can handle it with ease. Compliance is not just a legal requirement, it is the key to winning the trust of U.S. consumers.
