How It Works
Provide your company information

We request the DUNS number
We submit the Dun & Bradstreet application with the correct format and follow up until the number is confirmed. Most DUNS requests are processed within 1–3 business days.
DUNS number confirmed — ready for FDA filing
Once confirmed, the DUNS number can be used to begin FDA food facility registration. If you're taking our Food Starter Bundle, registration follows immediately.
Common questions
What is a DUNS number?+
A DUNS (Data Universal Numbering System) number is a 9-digit identifier issued by Dun & Bradstreet. FDA uses it to verify the identity and address of foreign food facilities during the registration process.
Do I need a DUNS number before FDA registration?+
In most cases, yes. Foreign food facilities registering through FDA's FURLS system are required to have a DUNS number that matches their facility name and address. Mismatches cause registration delays.
Can I get a DUNS number myself for free?+
Dun & Bradstreet offers free DUNS registration, but the process can take several weeks and formatting errors are common. We charge $149 to handle the application correctly the first time and avoid delays in your FDA registration timeline.
What if I already have a DUNS number?+
If you have a DUNS number, you may not need this service. However, if your DUNS information has changed or doesn't match your current FDA records, our DUNS Information Change service ($99) covers the update.
