FSVP is not optional — it’s federal law

If you import food into the US, the FDA requires you to verify that your foreign suppliers meet US food safety standards. No exceptions.

What the FDA requires of every importer

  • Hazard analysis for every food product you import
  • Evaluation and approval of each foreign supplier
  • Ongoing verification activities (audits, sampling, records review)
  • Corrective actions when suppliers fall short
  • Re-evaluation every 3 years or when risks change
  • Records available to FDA inspectors within 24 hours

What happens without FSVP compliance

  • Import alerts — your shipments get detained at the port
  • Warning letters from FDA that become public record
  • Civil penalties up to $100,000+ per violation
  • Product seizure and forced destruction
  • Damaged relationships with US buyers and retailers

Tips for Thai food exporters entering the US market

1

Start FSVP before your first shipment

Don’t wait until goods are at the port. Your US importer (or you, if you’re the importer of record) must have a compliant FSVP program before the first shipment clears customs.

2

Keep hazard analyses product-specific

A blanket hazard analysis won’t hold up. Each food product needs its own analysis addressing the specific hazards — biological, chemical, physical — relevant to that product and that supplier.

3

Document everything, always

FDA inspectors want to see records, not hear stories. Every supplier evaluation, every audit, every corrective action should be documented with dates, details, and outcomes.

4

Understand your role as importer

Under FSVP, the “importer” is the US owner or consignee at the time of entry. If that’s you, compliance is your responsibility — even if your Thai supplier has excellent food safety practices.

5

Choose verification activities wisely

FDA allows different verification approaches: on-site audits, sampling, review of supplier records. Choose based on hazard severity and supplier history — not just what’s cheapest.

6

Use a system, not spreadsheets

As your product line grows, spreadsheets break down. A purpose-built platform like Aleph keeps everything connected, searchable, and audit-ready from day one.

Common questions

FSVP is the responsibility of the US importer of record — the entity that owns or consigns the goods at time of entry. If you sell directly to US buyers, your buyer is typically the FSVP-responsible party. However, if you are the importer of record (selling DDP to the US), then yes, you need an FSVP program. Either way, Aleph helps you or your US partner stay compliant.

Most importers complete their initial setup in 1–2 days. Add your suppliers and products, complete the guided hazard analysis, and upload existing documentation. Aleph structures everything into a compliant FSVP program automatically.

You can migrate your existing program into Aleph. Import your supplier data and product information, then use Aleph’s guided workflows to fill any gaps. Most customers find their existing documentation has holes that Aleph helps them identify and fix.
