FDA Registration for Ghanaian Exporters
We handle all FDA filings for Ghanaian food, cosmetics, and consumer goods companies.
What do Ghanaian businesses need to do to enter the US market?
Ghana is one of West Africa's most dynamic export economies, known for cocoa, shea butter, processed foods, herbal products, and natural cosmetics. Companies from Accra, Kumasi, and Tamale are actively seeking to expand their exports to the United States.
To export food products to the United States, your production facility must be registered with the FDA, you must designate a US Agent, and you need a DUNS number. For cosmetics and personal care products, the 2023 MoCRA law requires facility registration and product listing.
We help businesses from Accra, Kumasi, Tamale, and throughout Ghana complete the entire process online — no need to travel to any office.
