Must see for exporting to the United States! Food/Drug/Cosmetics FDA+Dun&Bradstreet

Look at the treasures of exporting to the United States through foreign trade!
For products regulated by the FDA, such as food, drugs, cosmetics, etc., in order to clear customs smoothly, the Dun&Bradstreet code (DUNS)+FDA registration is a hard threshold
Don't reverse the order! First DUNS, then FDA.
Step 1: Apply for Dun&Bradstreet Code (Corporate ID Card)
The only FDA approved UFI identification code
-Essential materials:
Business license, Chinese and English company name, address, contact person
-Processing cycle:
✔  Free application: approximately 30 days
✔  Urgent payment: 5-10 working days
-Important reminder:
The information must be completely consistent with the business license, even a wrong word can result in registration failure
Step 2: FDA registration by category (mandatory/transitional)
1. Food (mandatory)

2. Drugs (mandatory)

3 fatal pitfalls (90% of enterprises have stepped on them)
1. Reverse the order
FDA first, DUNS later → Direct rejection
2. Inconsistent information
Deng Bai Shi/FDA/Information must be completely consistent
3. Certificate fraud
The FDA does not issue paper certificates, it is a registration system. The FDA certificates on the market are self-made and invalid.
