The US agent for a company is key connection a company has with the FDA. All companies are required to designate an authorized representative, also called a US agent, for communicating with FDA. The US agent is also the key contact for the US customs for any import and export related issues. For non-US companies, the US agent is generally a contractor or consultant who helps the client navigate US laws and prepare appropriate documentations for regulatory approvals and notifications. It is important to understand the role and responsibilities of the US agent for seamless operations in the US. Lack of US agent could add to the delays and even hold critical decisions from FDA regarding a company.
