Contact Us TodayVancouver exporters treat FDA compliance as core market infrastructure: the US is the default first export market for BC seafood, natural foods, and beverages, and every shipment south depends on FDA facility registration, FSMA-aligned documentation, and an easy verification experience for the US importer carrying FSVP obligations. Seafood shipments route under FDA's Seafood HACCP rule rather than FSMA Preventive Controls — a distinction that determines exactly which documents your US customers will demand.
Seafood and fishery products fall under 21 CFR 123, which requires a HACCP plan built on FDA's hazards guidance and exempts you from the Preventive Controls rule; most other foods fall under FSMA, where your US importer needs FSVP evidence of your hazard controls. Mixed-portfolio exporters need both document sets. We classify your products and build the exact package each category's buyers require.
Administrative failures more than safety ones: lapsed facility registrations after the biennial renewal window, prior notice errors, labelling that doesn't meet US format requirements (nutrition facts panel differences, allergen declarations including sesame under US law), and FSVP requests the exporter answers slowly. All preventable with maintenance. We keep registrations, labels, and the verification dossier current so entries stay routine.
Compliance with the U.S. FDA's Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) including Preventive Controls, Foreign Supplier Verification, and FDA registration requirements.
