Quick answer: If your facility in China is registered with the U.S. FDA and ships food to the United States, renew the registration between October 1 and December 31, 2026. You need a valid DUNS number and a U.S. Agent. FDA charges nothing; Orionex renews it with U.S. Agent service for $300 (1 year) or $450 (2 years).

Who in China Needs to Renew

Every FDA-registered facility in China that manufactures, processes, packs or holds food for the U.S. market, including:

ℹ️

Chinese customs filing is not FDA registration. Your export food manufacturer filing (出口食品生产企业备案) is a Chinese requirement. U.S. FDA food facility registration is separate and has to be renewed with FDA.

Common Problems for Chinese Facilities

English Name and Address Mismatch

The English or pinyin company name and address must match your DUNS record exactly. Different translations of the same address are the most common cause of delays.

The Old Agent Is Unreachable

If your registration was set up by a trading company or agency that no longer responds, FDA's U.S. Agent check can block the renewal. We can take over as your U.S. Agent.

Lost FDA Account Login

Staff changes often mean nobody has the FDA account login. We help you recover access so the renewal can be completed in time.

Old Products or Emergency Contact

Product categories and the 24-hour emergency contact must be correct. We review them with you before submitting.

Does China's export food filing replace FDA registration?

No. China's export food manufacturer filing with customs (出口食品生产企业备案) is a Chinese requirement. U.S. FDA food facility registration is separate and must be renewed with FDA.

Does a facility in China need a U.S. Agent?

Does the address have to be in English?
