US FDA Registration for Indian Exporters

Indian spices, ready-to-eat foods, Ayurvedic and personal-care products, medical devices and generics are in demand in the US. They all pass through the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. An unregistered facility, a missing US Agent or a non-compliant label is enough to get a shipment detained. PCN sets up your FDA registration, listings and renewals and keeps them current.

US FDA Registration FAQs

Does FDA issue a registration certificate?

No. FDA doesn’t issue registration certificates, so be wary of anyone selling “FDA certificates”. You receive a registration number, and product approval applies only to certain devices and drugs.

Can my importer be my US Agent?

Yes, if they are physically in the US and agree to act as your point of contact with FDA. Professional US Agent services are also available.

Do my FSSAI or CDSCO licences help?

They show regulatory maturity, but they don’t replace FDA registration or US labelling and quality-system requirements.

How long does it take?

Facility registration can be completed within days once documents are ready. A 510(k) takes months.

Requirements, portals and fees change often. PCN confirms the applicable rules for each product before quoting. Certificates are issued by the relevant authority, accredited certification body or notified body.
