Navigating the FDA and Regulatory Hurdles in the Health & Wellness Industry

The U.S. health and wellness industry is booming, but businesses importing supplements, vitamins, and natural health products must navigate complex FDA regulations. Compliance is critical to avoid delays, fines, or product recalls, making financial flexibility a key factor in staying competitive.

Key Regulatory Challenges

Companies importing health products into the U.S. must adhere to:

  • FDA Guidelines – Dietary supplements and health products must meet labeling, ingredient, and safety standards.

  • Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) – Ensuring products are produced in FDA-compliant facilities is essential for import approval.

  • Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Oversight – Imported goods must clear inspections, and non-compliant shipments risk being detained.

How Trade Finance Helps Businesses Stay Compliant

Meeting these regulatory requirements often requires significant upfront investment in testing, certification, and supplier vetting. Trade finance provides businesses with the capital needed to:

  • Conduct third-party testing and quality assurance

  • Work with FDA-approved manufacturers and suppliers

  • Cover compliance costs without disrupting cash flow
