FDA & import setup
Get your product into the US the right way.
FDA food facility registration and renewals, US Agent service, label review and import coordination for food and consumer goods producers. Fees and timelines are agreed in writing before we start.
Renewal season
Food facility registrations must be renewed between October 1 and December 31 of every even-numbered year. The current window closes on December 31, 2026.
What we handle
From registration to the first shipment.
01
Registration and US Agent
First registration and biennial renewal with the FDA, with the facility and contact information the agency requires, and US Agent service: the US contact the FDA requires for every foreign facility.
02
Low-acid and acidified foods
FDA filings for low-acid and acidified foods, such as many sauces, preserves and canned products: FCE registration of the plant and SID filing of each process.
03
Labels and nutrition facts
Review of US labels and nutrition facts panels, and guidance on available exemptions.
04
Import coordination
Choosing the importer of record, customs and shipping from Italy and Europe, coordinated with licensed customs brokers and freight forwarders. Devolus is not a licensed customs broker: customs entries are filed by licensed partners.
Starting fees
Food facility registration
From $690
Biennial renewal
From $550
US Agent service
From $500 per year
Devolus service fees, per facility. Foreign facilities also need a US Agent: we can provide one, directly or through a partner, or you can use your own. The FDA itself charges no fee for registration or renewal. Registration is not FDA approval or certification. Other services are quoted by scope, and every fee is confirmed in writing before we start.
Beyond the paperwork
Registration is step one. Selling is the goal.
Most producers need more than a registration number: distributors, a first retail or restaurant partner, sometimes a location of their own. Because we work on market entry every day, the FDA file is set up with where you are going next in mind.
