What this tool checks

Every food, beverage, supplement, cosmetic, or pet food product entering the United States falls under one or more federal regulatory pathways — and the right pathway depends on the product category, its condition, and its country of origin. This tool gives you an instant preliminary read covering:

Results are preliminary and not legal or customs advice — but they'll tell you within seconds whether your product is straightforward to import, or where the regulatory complexity sits before you commit to a shipment.

What you'll need to provide

If you move forward with an FSVP plan, having these ready in advance speeds up delivery:

  • Existing HACCP or Food Safety Plan (if you have one)
  • Hazard analysis documentation
  • Process flow diagram
  • Supplier audit reports
  • Certificates of Analysis (COAs)
  • Product specification sheet
  • Full ingredient list

Don't have all of these yet? That's fine — ClearPath can help identify and develop what's missing as part of your engagement.
