FDA Registration for Nigerian Exporters
We handle all FDA filings for Nigerian food, cosmetics, and product companies.
What do Nigerian businesses need to do to enter the US market?
Nigeria is Africa's largest economy and a growing force in food and consumer goods exports, known for palm oil, cocoa, spices, processed foods, and personal care products. Companies from Lagos, Abuja, Kano, Port Harcourt, and Ibadan are increasingly looking to expand into the United States market.
To export food to the United States, Nigerian production facilities must register with the FDA before their first shipment. This involves FDA Food Facility Registration, appointing a US Agent, and obtaining a DUNS number when required. For cosmetics, the MoCRA law effective since 2023 requires foreign brands to register their facilities and product listings with the FDA.
We help businesses from Lagos, Abuja, Kano, and throughout Nigeria complete the entire registration process online — no travel required.
