The fees for FDA registration vary depending on the type of product being registered and the specific requirements of the registration process. Below are some common categories and their associated fees:

1. Medical Device Registration

• Facility Registration: Manufacturers of medical devices must register their facilities with the FDA. The registration fee is typically an annual fee, which can vary based on the size of the company.
• Device Listing: Manufacturers must list their devices with the FDA. This listing is typically included as part of the facility registration, but additional fees may apply depending on the device classification and the need for specific clearances.
• Premarket Notification (510(k)): For many Class II devices, a 510(k) submission is required before the product can be marketed. The FDA charges a fee for this submission, which can be substantial. In 2024, the standard fee for a 510(k) submission is approximately $17,000, although small businesses may qualify for reduced fees.
• Premarket Approval (PMA): Class III devices, which are higher-risk devices, require premarket approval. The fee for a PMA submission can exceed $300,000. However, fees are subject to change each year.

2. Drug Registration (New Drug Application - NDA)

• The New Drug Application (NDA) process includes several fees:
  • Application Fee: In 2024, the fee for a standard NDA is approximately $3 million. For priority review, the fee is higher.
  • Drug Master File (DMF): Manufacturers submitting a Drug Master File (DMF) will face separate fees for the submission.
  • Annual Fees: Pharmaceutical companies must also pay annual fees to keep their registration active.

3. Food Facility Registration

• The FDA requires food manufacturers, processors, and facilities that produce food products for human or animal consumption to register with the FDA. The registration fee is typically free for most food facilities, though some may incur costs related to inspection and compliance activities.

4. Cosmetic Registration

• The FDA does not require mandatory registration for cosmetics. However, companies may choose to voluntarily notify the FDA about their products, which is typically free of charge.

5. Over-the-Counter (OTC) Drug Registration

• OTC drug manufacturers must register their products with the FDA and comply with the OTC monograph system. There may be minimal registration fees associated with the process.

6. Annual Establishment Fees

• For facilities involved in manufacturing, processing, or importing drugs, devices, or biological products, the FDA may charge annual establishment fees. These fees vary based on the type of product being registered and the size of the facility.

7. Other Fees

• User Fees: Many FDA registration processes involve user fees that support the FDA's regulatory activities. These fees are typically updated annually and are published in the FDA’s User Fee Program guidelines.

Conclusion

FDA registration fees vary significantly based on the type of product (medical device, drug, food, etc.), the complexity of the submission process, and the size of the business. Fees can range from a few hundred dollars for food facilities to several thousand dollars or more for medical device clearances and drug approvals. It’s important for manufacturers to carefully review the specific requirements and consult the FDA or a regulatory consultant for the most accurate and up-to-date fee information.
