It is recommended to allow at least 2 weeks to complete all registrations and platform updates prior to product launch.<\/p>\n<h3>Q2: How much is the FDA food registration fee?<\/h3>\n<p><strong>echo<\/strong>FDA does not charge registration fee, but you need to pay for the US agent service fee (annual fee about USD 150-500). If you engage a consultant to assist you with the complete registration process, the total cost will be around USD 650-2,800 (including agent services, registration assistance, labeling review, etc.). Compared to the thousands to tens of thousands of dollars that can be lost as a result of non-compliance, this is a very cost-effective compliance investment.<\/p>\n<h3>Q3: I have already obtained the Food Business Registration in Taiwan, do I still need FDA food registration?<\/h3>\n<p><strong>echo<\/strong>::<strong>Yes, registration is required<\/strong>.

For example, if you have 3 OEM factories, each factory must have their own <strong>FDA Food Registration<\/strong>Number. As a brand, you will also need to complete your own registration. This ensures that <strong>FDA<\/strong> The entire supply chain can be tracked.<\/p>\n<h3>Q5: What is the difference between FDA food registration and FSVP (Foreign Supplier Verification Program)?<\/h3>\n<p><strong>echo<\/strong>::<strong>FDA Food Registration<\/strong>It is the facility-level registration that proves you are a legitimate food business owner;<strong>FSVP<\/strong>\uff08The Foreign Supplier Verification Program (FSVP) is a supplier verification program that importers are required to establish to ensure that food products produced by their foreign suppliers meet U.S. safety standards.
