The six steps of entering the US

This fits when

• You are preparing to export to the US and are stuck at MoCRA registration
• Your manufacturer says it has registered and you are not sure whether you must too
• Amazon asked you for registration while you were preparing to list
• You received a quote and nobody explained what it covers

How it works

• You send your product list, full ingredient lists (INCI) and label files
• We send an assessment report: what to register, how many listings, missing documents and label risks
• We list the products through your own FDA Direct account

What you receive

• Regulatory assessment report (in Korean)
• FDA Direct product listing and the Listing Number screen
• English label review and state-level ingredient review, depending on scope

This fits when

• You have no US entity and cannot name an importer
• You are shipping to Amazon FBA and do not know who to put down as importer
• You want to know duties and costs before the first shipment

What we do

• US import pre-assessment: HTS classification, required documents, estimated duties and fees, customs risks
• US Agent designation (one year): the US contact point for a manufacturer that holds a facility registration
• Importer of Record for a shipment: paperwork, customs broker handling, confirmation of receipt in the US

What you receive

• Import pre-assessment report and a first-shipment checklist
• FDA correspondence passed on to you in Korean
• Duties, freight and bonded warehouse fees are charged at cost, with estimates given in advance

This fits when

• Your online channel is open and you are looking at US brick-and-mortar retail
• You collected business cards at a trade show and could not get to the next step
• You have no English brand materials, or you send them and get no reply

How it works

• You send brand materials, product details and photos, and your target wholesale price
• We write and register the English brand profile and product pages
• After registration, monthly operation continues the retailer submissions and buyer replies

What you receive

• One-year RangeMe account and English brand profile
• Product pages, by number of products
• A retail listing is not guaranteed. The service covers registration, submission support and buyer replies

This fits when

• You have been told the English on your packaging or product page reads like a translation
• You have no English brand introduction to send a buyer
• You have not settled what to lead with in the US market

What you receive

• US market brand assessment report (message, packaging, English copy)
• English transcreation: brand story, packaging copy, listing copy
• English brand pitch deck for buyers and investors, depending on scope

This fits when

• A US distributor sent a contract with an exclusivity clause
• You need an NDA or supply agreement written in English
• You received the other side's revisions and cannot tell what changed

What you receive

• English contract review: risk memo and proposed revisions
• English contract drafting: NDA, supply, distribution or agency agreement
• Review of the other side's revisions and a video consultation, depending on scope

This fits when

• You are starting US entry for the first time and do not know where to begin
• You have lost time working with a different vendor for each step
• You want the first shipment and the first buyer submissions done in the same quarter

What is included

• MoCRA product listing and label review
• US Agent for one year, Importer of Record for a shipment
• RangeMe registration and product pages
• English contract review or drafting
• Three levels, by number of products and scope
