FSVP starts with the importer.
The importer determines applicable FSVP obligations and the verification activities needed for the food and foreign supplier. SENESA can prepare a review pack only after that scope is defined.
UNITED STATES · BUYER-SIDE IMPORT DOSSIER
Plan the supplier file before the FDA entry file.
The U.S. importer owns the FSVP decision. The foreign supplier supports that decision with accurate product, facility, hazard, batch, testing, packing, and shipment information—without calling a document “FSVP-ready” before the importer agrees what that means.

REGULATORY LEADFDA + CBP entry workflow
PUBLICATIONNoindex until evidence approval
01 · WHY THIS PAGE IS UNIQUE
One destination. Three buyer-side control questions.
The page earns its own route because the importer workflow and evidence request are materially different—not because a country name was added to generic supplier copy.
Prior notice is shipment-specific.
FDA requires advance notice for imported food unless an exemption applies. Filing responsibility, identifiers, timing, and carrier data belong in the shipment plan.
Registration and labelling are separate checks.
Facility-registration applicability and truthful English labelling must be confirmed for the actual operation and presentation. This preview makes no registration claim.
02 · DESTINATION WORKFLOW
Move from importer ownership to a lot-linked file.
This is a planning sequence. It does not represent completed SENESA exports, registrations, approvals, or clearance outcomes.
- 01BUYER
Name the importer and FSVP owner
Identify the U.S. owner or consignee, importer of record, FSVP importer, customs broker, and the party filing prior notice. Do not merge those roles by assumption.
- 02JOINT
Lock product identity and intended use
Confirm botanical identity, dried format, ingredient use, bulk or retail presentation, specification revision, treatment restrictions, and whether any dietary-supplement route is contemplated.
- 03IMPORTER
Define the verification request
The importer states the hazard-analysis, supplier-evaluation, process, testing, audit, corrective-action, and record evidence it requires under its own program.
- 04SENESA
Build the lot-linked shipment file
Connect agreed specification, lot identification, packing, marks, analysis or inspection evidence, commercial documents, facility information where applicable, and shipping data.
- 05JOINT
Review entry and label data
Reconcile product description, country of origin, consignee, identifiers, English label information where applicable, prior-notice data, and broker instructions before dispatch.
- 06ORDER FILE
Keep exceptions visible
A detention, sampling request, mismatch, or document change needs an accountable response path; it must not be hidden inside a generic “FDA compliant” claim.
03 · BUYER REQUEST PACK
Ask for fields—not adjectives.
A useful destination brief names the responsible party, product, requirement, document issuer, timing, and acceptance path.
- 01
Product identity, botanical declaration, format, intended use, and specification revision
- 02
Processing / packing site identity and facility-registration status only when verified and applicable
- 03
Lot code, traceability dossier, process description, and agreed hazard-control evidence
- 04
Buyer-defined analytical scope, sample relationship, methods, laboratory, and acceptance decision
- 05
Packing, product-contact material, marks, English label copy where applicable, and country-of-origin wording
- 06
Importer, FSVP importer, consignee, broker, prior-notice filer, carrier, and arrival data
04 · OPEN BEFORE QUOTATION
Six questions that keep the quote honest.
No fixed price, MOQ, bag, transit time, tariff, document, registration, or destination capability is published until these questions are answered.
- Q1
Who is the U.S. FSVP importer for this food and supplier?
- Q2
Which facility activities trigger registration, and is the responsible facility currently registered?
- Q3
Is the consignment a bulk ingredient, food-service pack, retail food, or dietary-supplement ingredient?
- Q4
Which hazards, tests, supplier-verification activities, records, and review frequency does the importer require?
- Q5
Who files prior notice and which identifiers and timing inputs must SENESA provide?
- Q6
Which port, broker, Incoterms® Rule, named place, and exception path apply?

06 · OFFICIAL SOURCE DESK
Recheck the current rule for the actual goods.
Official sources support the planning framework. The importer, broker, laboratory, competent authority, and advisers still decide applicability for the live transaction.

07 · DESTINATION QUESTIONS
Capability stays pending until evidence closes it.
Is SENESA currently FDA registered?
This local dossier makes no facility-registration claim. The responsible facility, its activities, applicable exemption analysis, current registration status, and permission to disclose it must be verified before a quotation or public claim.
Can SENESA provide an FSVP certificate?
FSVP is an importer program, not a universal supplier certificate. The U.S. importer defines the supplier-verification records it needs; SENESA then confirms which evidence can be supplied for the specific product, facility, lot, and order.
Does every shipment need prior notice?
FDA states that prior notice applies to imported food unless an exemption applies. The responsible filer, timing, data, and exemption position must be confirmed for the actual shipment.
