Legal Background
Why Are FDA Facility Registration and Product Listing Required?
Under MoCRA, FDA registration processes are essential for companies placing cosmetic products on the US market, ensuring that cosmetic products and manufacturing facilities are registered with the FDA, product and facility data are traceable and up to date, compliance with US regulatory requirements is demonstrated, and regulatory risks during inspections and audits are minimized; MoCRA-compliant FDA registration is therefore critical for sustainable access to the US market.
Failure to comply with FDA product listing and facility registration requirements may result in:
- Delays or rejection of market entry in the US
- Non-compliance findings during FDA inspections
- Product recalls or restrictions on commercial activities
- Damage to brand reputation and business credibility
For this reason, FDA registration processes must be managed carefully and in full alignment with MoCRA requirements.
