FAQS
Yes, MoCRA requires all foreign facilities to appoint a US Agent as part of FDA registration.
The US Agent is a legal requirement for all foreign manufacturers and is responsible for acting as the FDA’s point of contact in the United States. This role includes receiving FDA communications and assisting during inspections.
Responsible Person (RP) Support, while not an official FDA designation, refers to the entity or consultancy managing key regulatory tasks such as product listing, safety documentation, and labelling review. In many cases, brands appoint the same provider to act as both US Agent and RP Support for streamlined compliance.
No, but we offer full RP support to help your appointed Responsible Person meet MoCRA obligations.
Yes, if legally allowed and properly registered. However, Cosmeservice only acts as US Agent, and provides support for your internal or external RP.
The Responsible Person ensures product safety and does not need to be based in the U.S., although the label must include a U.S. contact. The US Agent, however, must be located in the U.S. and acts as a direct liaison with the FDA.
Cosmeservice provides expert US Agent services and supports your Responsible Person to ensure MoCRA compliance and safe access to the U.S. market.
