Yes, FDA registration is required in the United States for certain types of products, particularly those that fall under FDA regulation, such as medical devices, pharmaceuticals, food products, and cosmetics.

When is FDA Registration Required?

1. Medical Devices:

   • If you are manufacturing or distributing medical devices in the U.S., you must register your establishment with the FDA and, in most cases, list your devices. This includes manufacturers, importers, and distributors. The registration process helps ensure that the FDA can track products and enforce compliance with safety standards.
   • Premarket Notification or Approval: Some medical devices also require premarket approval (PMA) or premarket notification (510(k)) before they can be sold in the U.S.

2. Drugs and Biologics:

   • Manufacturers of drugs and biologics (e.g., vaccines, gene therapies) must register their establishments with the FDA. Additionally, they must comply with rigorous testing, labeling, and approval processes to ensure safety and effectiveness before marketing.

3. Food Products:

   • Companies that manufacture, process, pack, or hold food for consumption in the U.S. must register with the FDA under the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA). This includes facilities that import food into the U.S.

4. Cosmetics:

   • While cosmetic products do not require FDA approval before being marketed, manufacturers are still encouraged to register with the FDA to ensure that their products comply with regulations, including labeling requirements.

5. Tobacco Products:

   • The FDA also regulates the manufacture, distribution, and marketing of tobacco products, and registration is required for those involved in the tobacco industry.

When is FDA Registration NOT Required?

• If a product is exempt from FDA regulations or does not fall under FDA’s jurisdiction, such as certain food products, dietary supplements, or cosmetics that are not intended for medical use, FDA registration may not be required.
• Class I devices (low-risk) may have simplified registration requirements, but they still need to be registered.

Consequences of Not Registering:

• If you fail to register with the FDA when required, your product cannot legally be marketed in the U.S. and you may face enforcement actions such as product seizure, fines, or a ban on your product’s sale.

In Summary:

FDA registration is mandatory for certain categories of products sold in the U.S., especially medical devices, drugs, biologics, and food. However, the registration requirements vary depending on the type of product. If your product falls under FDA regulation, you must comply with the registration process to legally market and distribute it in the U.S.
