Do Vietnamese 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 Vietnam exactly as it does to U.S. facilities. Typical Vietnamese products we register include shrimp and other seafood, cashews, coffee, black pepper, rice, dried fruit and instant noodles.

Your approvals from Vietnam's Ministry of Health or Ministry of Agriculture 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

Seafood processors

Seafood processed for the U.S. must also follow FDA's seafood HACCP rules (21 CFR Part 123). Your U.S. importer will usually ask for your HACCP plan. Facility registration is the first step.

Pangasius and basa

Catfish, including pangasius and basa, is inspected by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), not FDA, under separate rules. Other seafood, cashews, coffee and spices follow the FDA rules on this page.

Questions

Our facility is approved in Vietnam. Do we still need FDA registration?

Yes. Vietnamese approvals cover Vietnam. For the U.S., each facility that makes, packs or stores the food must be registered with the U.S. FDA.

Do Vietnamese 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 our factory and our cold store?

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