Importing Food into the USA

Food and Drug Administration regulations impose stringent requirements on companies looking to import food products into the US. Noncompliance can result in serious fines; our experienced food import specialists understand these regulations inside out and can guide your company through them easily.

Custom clearance processes can often be complex and time-consuming if handled correctly; our customs brokers are on hand 24/7 to help make this process more manageable for our clients.


Importing foods requires accurate information. Our experienced customs brokers verify that the information on your international shipments is correct and up-to-date to help avoid fines or delays at customs. They can also accurately calculate tariffs and taxes so you know exactly which fees will be assessed to your shipment at the border crossing.


Customs brokers can assist with registering your foreign suppliers with the FDA's Foreign Supplier Verification Program (FSVP). This regulation mandates that importers verify whether their foreign suppliers comply with FDA standards during every step of processing; our expert customs brokers can help register foreign suppliers and file the paperwork to complete this process.

At CBP, any food shipment information provided to them must be accurate and up-to-date. Our experienced customs brokers can assist with registering your foreign supplies under the FDA's Foreign Supplier Verification Protocol (FSVP) regulation as well as ensure your shipment details remain up-to-date on U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Automated Commercial Environment (ACE).

Once your shipment details have been uploaded to ACE, they will be reviewed by a CBP officer who will assess its accuracy and currency before checking that all applicable duties and taxes have been paid based on comparison with specific tax rates in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule. In many instances, importers may need to purchase bonds as guarantees against future import duties or taxes due.

Importing food into the United States can be a long and complex process. Meeting regulatory compliance can be especially tricky when working with foreign suppliers who may not understand these regulations. Our expert customs brokers can assist with this process to ensure your shipments are cleared quickly, efficiently, and cost-effectively - contact us now and take advantage of their 24x7 support to get started!
