Frequently asked questions

Dietary Supplements

Requirements vary by product and destination. These answers outline the starting point for the questions we receive most often.

Ask our team

Do I need to register my dietary supplement facility with the FDA?

Yes. All U.S. and foreign dietary supplement manufacturing, packing, or holding facilities must register with the FDA and renew their registration every two years.

What are the FDA labeling requirements for dietary supplements?

Labels must include a Supplement Facts panel, ingredient list, allergen declarations, manufacturer/distributor details, and comply with health claim regulations. We can review your labels for compliance.

What happens if my supplement contains a new ingredient not previously sold in the U.S.?

You may need to submit a New Dietary Ingredient (NDI) Notification to the FDA before marketing the product. We assess your ingredients and assist with regulatory submissions.

What is the role of an FSVP Agent for supplement importers?

If you import dietary supplements from foreign suppliers, you must verify that they comply with FDA regulations under the FSVP rule. As your FSVP Agent, we handle supplier verification and FDA compliance.

What are common reasons for FDA detentions of dietary supplements?

Supplements can be detained for:

  • Non-compliant labeling or missing supplement facts panel
  • Unauthorized health claims on packaging or marketing materials
  • Unapproved ingredients or improper NDI notifications
  • GMP violations or supplier non-compliance

How can I avoid customs delays when importing dietary supplements?

Ensure all required FDA registrations, prior notices, and customs documentation are correctly submitted. We assist with compliance reviews and customs documentation preparation.
