Taiwan cross-border sellers must know! FDA accreditation agency 7 shocking truth, the first one let people fall through the glasses!
You would never guess that many Taiwanese cross-border sellers get the first step wrong when applying for U.S. FDA certification! As one of the most stringent food and drug regulatory agencies in the world, there are many misunderstandings in the FDA certification process, and today we will unveil these unknown truths for all e-commerce entrepreneurs.
First of all, there is no such thing as an FDA certificate! That's right, you read it right, the FDA will only give the applicant a letter of response after registration (with the signature of the FDA administrator), but there is no so-called "FDA certificate". This is crucial for cross-border brands that are ready to enter the North American market.
What is even more surprising is that the FDA does not have a so-called "designated laboratory"! Anyone claiming to be an FDA accredited laboratory is misleading consumers, and the FDA, as a federal law enforcement agency, does not engage in this kind of refereeing and athletic endeavor.
It is worth noting that Taiwanese sellers must appoint a U.S. citizen (corporation/society) as their agent when applying for FDA registration, this is a legal requirement and should not be ignored. Moreover, not all imported cosmetics are subject to sampling, but this does not mean that loopholes can be exploited, as products that are not sampled must still comply with the various legal requirements!
In addition, what many cross-border e-commerce entrepreneurs don't realize is that the U.S. definition of "cosmetics" and "pharmaceuticals" is completely different from Taiwan's. For example, in the U.S., sunscreen products are regulated as pharmaceuticals, not drugs, which has a significant impact on product labeling and certification requirements. For example, in the U.S., sunscreen products are regulated as drugs rather than cosmetics, which has a significant impact on product labeling and certification requirements.
Surprisingly, importing cosmetics into the United States does not require registration with the FDA! However, if the U.S. law considers your product to be a drug or a combination of a cosmetic and a drug, it must be registered as a drug.
