Export Registrations

Export registration: US FDA & GACC

Getting your facility and products ready for overseas markets.

Selling abroad opens wonderful doors, but each market has its own gatekeepers. Food facilities that supply the United States register with the US FDA, and overseas manufacturers exporting certain foods to China register with the General Administration of Customs of China (GACC). I help Philippine food businesses prepare for both, so the paperwork does not become the reason a good product stays at home.

Questions

Good to know

Can you help if we have never exported before?

Yes. We start by looking at which market you are aiming for and what that market asks of you, then work through it step by step.

Which documents do overseas buyers usually ask for?

It varies by buyer and market, but commonly product specifications, laboratory test results, food safety certifications and registration details. I help you prepare a consistent set you can reuse.

Other ways I can help

Let’s talk

Would you like to talk it through?

Tell me a little about your product and where you are in the process. I will happily share what I would suggest, with no pressure at all.
