Understanding the Requirement

What is FDA Registration?

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration requires all domestic and foreign establishments that manufacture, repack, relabel, or salvage drugs intended for the U.S. market to register with the FDA and list their products.

This requirement, governed by 21 CFR Part 207, is among the most demanding regulatory frameworks in the world. Non-compliance can result in import alerts, product detention, and loss of market access.

For international manufacturers, the process involves appointing a US Agent, completing the FDA Unified Registration and Listing System (FURLS) enrollment, and maintaining annual registration renewals — all while ensuring your manufacturing operations meet the FDA's stringent quality expectations.
