Chemicals exported to the United States meet the requirements of the U.S. Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is responsible for the classification, labeling, and chemical safety data sheets of workplace chemicals, and for hazardous chemicals meeting the hazard Delivery Standards (HCS) issued by the agency. In addition, in the United States, hand sanitizers are topical over-the-counter (OTC) medications that are regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) just like dandruff shampoo, fluoridated toothpaste, sunscreen, and other products. Exports of sanitizer to the United States also require FDA approval. The NDC number is required for FDA approval. Domestic manufacturers must apply for the appropriate NDC number for each packaged OTC before exporting to the United States. NDC (National Drug Code National Drug verification number) is a Drug identification symbols, as a ordinary commodity index by the American FDA regularly edit NDC System, through input the NDC number and Registration information as into the list of Drug Registration System (Drug Registration and Listing System, DRLS) database program, it includes all by screening of over-the-counter and prescription and part of the islet drugs. According to Section 510 of Volume 21 of the United States Federal Regulations, the NDC of each drug listed has 10 Numbers and consists of three parts, namely, the manufacturer number, product number and package type. The first part is the manufacturer number provided by THE FDA. The manufacturer refers to the manufacturer that produces or sells the drug. The second part is the product number; The characteristics, dosage form and configuration of the logo products. The third part is the wrapping code. The labels of the second and third parts shall be provided by the manufacturer. The structure of the NDC consists of one of the following forms, namely 4-4-2, 5-3-2, or 5-4-1, for example: 62684-010-10 is the form of 5-3-2.

A product with AN NDC can be marketed as a drug in the United States. Distributors can use this number to learn about the efficacy and characteristics of the product in order to order the drug, and the FDA regulates the product according to this number. The disadvantage of NDC is that there is no reference table for drug trade names and generic names. A product with AN NDC can be marketed as a drug in the United States. Distributors can use this number to learn about the efficacy and characteristics of the product in order to order the drug, and the FDA regulates the product according to this number.

What is a US agent/US agent?

Any foreign institution engaged in the manufacture, preparation, reproduction, compounding, or processing of equipment or products imported into the United States must designate a United States agent (a United States agent) for that institution.

Information about a foreign agency's U.S. agent is submitted electronically using the FDA's Uniform Registration and Listing System (FURLS) and is part of the agency's registration process. Each foreign agency may designate only one U.S. agent. A foreign institution may, but does not have to, designate its U.S. agent as its official agent. Foreign organizations should provide the name, address, telephone and fax number and E-mail address of the U.S. agent.

Identified U.S. agents will need to complete an automated process to confirm that they have agreed to serve as U.S. agents. The automated process forwards the email verification request to the U.S. agent. They will be required to confirm that she/he has agreed to act as a representative/liaison on behalf of the foreign agency. If the U.S. agent refuses to agree (or does not respond within 10 business days), the foreign agency's official correspondent/owner operator will be notified and a new U.S. agent must be appointed to fulfill the regulatory obligations.

The responsibility of the American agent

The U.S. agent must be resident in or have a place of business in the United States. Us agents cannot use post office boxes as addresses. The U.S. agent cannot use only the reply service. They must be able to answer the phone or have employees answer the phone during normal working hours.

The liability of the U.S. agent is limited, including:

1. Assisted FDA in communicating with foreign agencies;

2. In response to questions regarding equipment imported into the United States or intended to be imported into the United States by foreign institutions,

3. Assist FDA to arrange inspections of foreign institutions

If FDA is unable to contact a foreign agency directly or promptly, FDA may provide information or documentation to a U.S. agent, and such action shall be equivalent to providing the same information or documentation to a foreign agency.

Please note that under the medical device reporting regulations (21 CFR, Part 803), or the 510 (k) pre-market notice (21 CFR, Part 807, Part E), the U.S. Agent is not liable for adverse event reporting.
