Do UAE 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 the UAE exactly as it does to U.S. facilities. Typical UAE products we register include dates and date products, honey, spices, confectionery, beverages and re-exported foods.

Your licences from your emirate's municipality or food authority and the UAE Ministry of Climate Change and Environment 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

Trading company or manufacturer?

If your UAE company only buys and sells, the facilities that make, pack or store the food must be registered, not your office. If you repack, relabel or store the food in your own warehouse, your facility must register too. We check this for you before filing.

Free zone companies

Facilities in free zones follow the same rule: if food for the U.S. is made, packed or stored there, the facility registers with FDA under its exact address.

Questions

We only trade and do not manufacture. Do we need to register?

Not if you never make, pack, relabel or store the food yourself. The supplier facilities must be registered. If you hold stock in your own warehouse, that warehouse registers.

Do UAE 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.

Can you register several facilities in different emirates?

Yes. Each address is registered separately. Additional facilities with the same owner are $169 each.
