Do Korean food companies need FDA registration?

Yes. Under U.S. law, every facility that manufactures, processes, packs or holds food for people or animals in the United States must be registered with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. This applies to facilities in South Korea exactly as it does to U.S. facilities. Typical Korean products we register include kimchi, gochujang and sauces, ramyeon, snacks and confectionery, ginseng products and beverages.

Your approvals from the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) are still needed at home, but they do not replace FDA registration. Without a valid FDA registration, your shipments can be held at the U.S. port and your importer cannot file Prior Notice correctly.

What you need

  • The facility's legal name and exact physical address
  • A D-U-N-S number for that address. It is free from Dun & Bradstreet but can take several weeks, so request it early.
  • An emergency contact phone answered 24 hours a day
  • A list of the foods made, packed or stored at the facility

K-beauty and cosmetics

Korean cosmetics companies selling in the U.S. must register their facilities and list their products under the U.S. cosmetics law (MoCRA). See our MoCRA registration service. Before you order, see who must register, how product listing works and U.S. label rules. Products with SPF are regulated as drugs in the U.S. (cosmetic or drug?).

Ginseng and supplements

Ginseng and other products sold in the U.S. as dietary supplements must follow FDA's supplement rules, including U.S.-format labels and no claims to treat or cure disease. See our label reviews.

Questions

We are approved by MFDS. Do we still need FDA registration?

Yes. MFDS covers Korea. For the U.S., each facility that makes, packs or stores the food must be registered with the U.S. FDA.

Do Korean facilities need a U.S. Agent?

Yes. Every food facility outside the U.S. must name a U.S. Agent located in the United States. It is included in our $269 price.

We sell food and cosmetics. Can you register both?

Yes. Food facility registration is $269 a year and MoCRA cosmetic facility registration is $369 a year, both with U.S. Agent service.
