FDA scope: choose the correct US product pathway
Separate food, device, drug and cosmetic obligations using the actual product and facility activity.
Applicable route
Start with ingredients, intended use, label claims, manufacturing sites and US distribution. Food, medical devices, drugs and cosmetics have different routes. A business exporting several product types needs separate applicability decisions; one facility identifier does not establish a universal permission to sell.
Records and action
For food, evaluate facility registration and food-specific controls. For devices, evaluate establishment registration, listing and any required marketing authorization. For drugs, registration and listing are distinct from the lawful marketing route. For cosmetics, assess MoCRA registration/listing and relevant exemptions alongside safety and labeling.
Example and boundaries
Example: a face cream promoted as treating disease cannot be assessed solely from the word cosmetic on the invoice. Resolve claims and classification before preparing records. Kayra can arrange the scope and gaps; the regulated operator owns accurate submissions and FDA retains its statutory decisions.
