Discuss your U.S. launch →Buyer-side coordination
Start with the market requirements, then select the product.
U.S. readiness depends on the product, ingredients, claims, label, manufacturer, and responsible parties—not a generic “FDA approved” badge. nuolgo uses your U.S. channel and product brief to identify Korean suppliers that can provide the information needed for review.
Verify
Collect ingredient, manufacturing, testing, specification, and label information before ordering.
Coordinate
Align samples, artwork, purchase terms, consolidation, export documents, and shipment timing.
U.S. readiness checklist
What buyers should check before shipment
- Confirm whether the product is regulated as a cosmetic, drug, or both based on its intended use and claims.
- Review ingredients and color additives for the intended product use.
- Confirm the required English label information and ensure claims are truthful and supportable.
- Identify the responsible person and determine which MoCRA facility registration and product listing duties apply.
- Check whether a small-business or product-specific exemption applies rather than assuming one.
- Prepare accurate manufacturer, importer, product, and shipment information for entry.
FDA registration or product listing is not FDA approval, and FDA states that it does not issue certificates verifying cosmetic facility registration or product listing. Final obligations should be confirmed for the specific product and business arrangement.

Does FDA approve cosmetics before import?
FDA explains that cosmetic products and ingredients generally do not require premarket approval, except for color additives. Products must still comply with applicable safety, labeling, and other legal requirements.
Does a registration number mean FDA approval?
No. FDA states that facility registration and product listing do not indicate approval of the facility or cosmetic product.
Can nuolgo choose products for a target MOQ?
