And the formula must be marked with the country of origin before it’s imported.  ## Importing Any Food Products Commercial imports of food products require a filing of [“Prior Notice” to the FDA](https://www.fda.gov/Food/GuidanceRegulation/ImportsExports/Importing/ucm2006836.htm). The importer must also be registered with the FDA before their goods will be allowed into the U.S.   Remember, this is only for commercial goods. Food accompanying a traveler into the U.S. or sent by an individual to someone in the U.S. are not required to follow these rules.  You can learn more about the procedures and requirements for importing food products [here on the FDA site](https://www.fda.gov/food/guidanceregulation/importsexports/importing/default.htm) or by calling (888) 723-3366.    [![Shippabo](https://blog.shippabo.com/hubfs/icon@128x128.png)](https://blog.shippabo.com/author/shippabo) ### [Shippabo](https://blog.shippabo.com/author/shippabo) ## Latest Articles Browse all posts [News](https://blog.shippabo.com/tag/news) ### Shippabo Global Newsletter July 2026 Transpacific & Asia–North America Ocean Freight Market Update July 07, 2026 [News](https://blog.shippabo.com/tag/news) ### Shippabo Global Newsletter June 2026 Transpacific & Asia–North America Ocean Freight Market Update June 08, 2026 [News](https://blog.shippabo.com/tag/news) ### Beyond the Container Rate: Using AI to Optimize Furniture Supply Chains From the Shippabo presentation at HFA 2026.
