To register a food or cosmetics facility with the FDA, every foreign facility must first obtain a DUNS number. For Ghanaian businesses, this means submitting an application to Dun & Bradstreet with: legal company name, physical address in Ghana, primary business contact name, type of business activity, and approximate number of employees.
How long does it take?
The free self-service route through D&B typically takes 4–6 weeks for international businesses. FDABridge coordinates the DUNS process on behalf of Ghanaian exporters and integrates it into the full FDA registration workflow, avoiding delays. Once the DUNS number is confirmed, we proceed immediately with the FDA food facility registration submission. Visit fdabridge.com/duns-number to get started.
