FDA Registration Number and other FDA Requirements

Manufacturers and distributors who plan to market their products in the USA often recognize that the FDA registration number is mandatory. Still, most of them are not aware of other FDA requirements like GMP, listing, label compliance, UDI, prior notice, etc.

There are specific requirements for each product category; if you do not comply, the FDA may detain the product or consider it misbranded. FDA Registration is not a mandatory requirement for cosmetic products. FDA registration is mandatory for drugs and medical devices, but registration number (FEI) is not compulsory.
