FDA Drug Establishment Registration and Drug Listing

According to the United States' Food and Drug Administration, U.S. FDA Drug Regulations, all drug establishments that formulate, develop, manufacture, distribute, process or pack drugs that are marketed in the U.S. must register with FDA. Furthermore, all drug establishments that formulate, develop, manufacture, process or pack drugs that are marketed in the U.S. must list all of their marketed products through Electronic Drug Registration and Listing System (eDRLS).

This applies to domestic as well as foreign manufacturers, processors, packers and labelers for all OTC, API, generic, homeopathic and prescription drugs . In order to be registered, companies that are based outside the U.S. must have a U.S. agent assigned that will be FDA's primary point of contact on behalf of a foreign company.

A complete list of who must be registered and list can be accessed here.

Importance of FDA U.S. Agent

The U.S. agent may be called upon to speak with FDA in regards to the registered drug establishment. This can be a time-sensitive matter. Therefore, it is crucial that your us agent understands the FDA regulations and is able to advise the foreign company on FDA requirements that must be followed. Furthermore, having an independent U.S. Agent will prevent a potential conflict of interest that can emerge when assigning a business partner as U.S. Agent.
