United States of America
Due to the size of its economy, the USA is, understandably, high up on the list of target markets for exporters. However, although there are tremendous opportunities, there are considerable obstacles and challenges standing in the way of successful market entry.
The US Food & Drug Administration (FDA) regulates around 12 per cent of all products entering the US market, including Foods & Beverages, Dietary Supplements, Pharmaceuticals, Medical Devices, Cosmetics, Biologics, Radiation-Emitting Devices, Veterinary Products, Alcohol & Tobacco
FDA regulations are very complex but, at the same time, are strictly enforced and before marketing or distributing any of the above mentioned products in the USA for the first time, it’s very important to make sure you identify and understand FDA regulations that apply to companies in the supply chain and to products.
Did you know that the FDA doesn’t approve products, companies or labels? It has a pro-active approach to regulation and, rather than waiting for products to arrive in the USA, it reaches out around the world to identify, register and regulate companies and products.
Even if you have been exporting to the USA for some time, you should be aware that the FDA requires companies to periodically renew registrations and to report to changes to companies, products and processes. It’s also vital to be aware that FDA regulations evolve and change over time, so it’s necessary to continually monitor your compliance status.
