Foreign Supplier Verification Program
We now offer a comprehensive study of the compliance requirements for the FDA's Foreign Supplier Verification Program for yourself or your team. This program covers verification procedures for all imported food shipments of food subject to the Preventive Control rule or the Standards for Produce Safety rule, where from time of entry the FDA requires the food importer to declare through Customs’ and FDA’s electronic entry filing systems the Name, the Facility Address, and the Unique Identifier (the DUNS#) of the person designated as the “FSVP importer” for the shipment.
You may be the FDA Registered FSVP Importer:
“The U.S. owner or consignee of the imported food product at the time of entry. This includes the party in the U.S. who is the actual owner or purchaser of the food at the time of entry. This could include a U.S. party who has agreed in writing to purchase the food.

Which Program is Right for You?
SQF Fundamentals Program
A solution for small to medium-sized sites that do not have a robust food safety management program in place or want to take their existing program to the next level. Built as a step-wise approach, the SQF Fundamentals audit is designed to help integrate robust food safety standards into a site's existing practices while creating a pathway to achieve globally accepted GFSI certification.
SQF Food Safety Code Program
The SQF Food Safety Code provides sites with a HACCP-based approach to ensure their products meet industry and regulatory requirements. The Food Safety Code standard is a globally accepted, GFSI-benchmarked certification audit. Businesses looking to satisfy their customers’ GFSI certification needs, should learn more about the SQF Food Safety Code.
SQF Quality Code Program
The SQF Quality Code is for those sites that desire to go above and beyond food safety. The Quality Code is designed to monitor and control food quality-related threats and is most suited for sites that have implemented a successful, robust SQF Food Safety Plan. Additionally, the SQF Quality Code can be implemented in tandem with the SQF Food Safety Code audit.
