Contact Us TodayFor Victoria food businesses, the United States is visible from the shoreline — Washington State sits across the strait, the Coho and Black Ball ferries link the harbour to Port Angeles, and US distribution is often an island producer's most natural expansion. FDA compliance for these typically small exporters means facility registration with a US agent, prior notice on every shipment however small, US labelling conversion, and understanding how FSMA's Preventive Controls and FSVP rules apply when your American buyers are boutique retailers rather than compliance-savvy national importers.
Yes — registration, prior notice, and labelling requirements have no de-minimis exception for commercial food, and small shipments through ferry and courier channels get refused for missing prior notice just like truckloads. Scale matters mainly for FSMA preventive controls, where qualified-facility status can simplify obligations. We set up the compliance basics so small-volume export runs smoothly, then grow the system as volumes justify.
Legally theirs — each US importer must maintain a Foreign Supplier Verification Program covering you — but practically yours, because non-compliant importers create supply-chain risk and FDA attention that lands on your product. The pragmatic move is making compliance easy: provide a ready-made dossier (food safety plan summary, hazard analysis, audit evidence) they can file. We build that package once and it serves every US account you open.
Compliance with the U.S. FDA's Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) including Preventive Controls, Foreign Supplier Verification, and FDA registration requirements.
