Foreign companies are required to appoint US Agent for Food Facility Registration purposes. Facilities must provide US Agent name, address, and contact information or US Agent ID in the food facility registration form.
US Agent acts as a point of contact for the FDA to communicate with foreign companies. In case FDA is unable to contact the foreign company, they will approach US Agent to communicate with the foreign company. Before the initial registration number is assigned, US agents must confirm that they act as US Agents for your company.
