FDA registration, Prior Notice and FSVP serve different purposes. One does not replace the others.

Food & beverage imports
Get the product details right before the shipment moves.
Ingredients, processing, packaging and the identity of each party can affect an FDA entry. Kartash helps food importers connect those details with their customs documents, so questions are addressed early rather than after arrival.
How Kartash helps
- Customs entry preparation and coordination of FDA data and Prior Notice, as applicable.
- Review of supplier and product information needed for classification, value and agency filings.
- Coordination when FDA requests documents or places a shipment on hold.
- Shipment planning with your forwarder, carrier and delivery team.
Have these details ready
- Commercial invoice, packing list and transport document.
- Manufacturer and shipper details, country of production and complete product description.
- Ingredient list, label images, package sizes and processing information.
- Applicable food facility registration details and the FSVP importer’s information.
What to check early
Meat, poultry, seafood, low-acid canned foods and other categories can require additional agency or product information.
An FDA import-alert match depends on the product and parties involved. Customs release alone does not establish FDA admissibility.
