🇹🇭Thai FDA Registration

Simplify Your FDA Registration in Thailand

Register your products with the Thai FDA with Emerhub. Our local experts handle documentation, submissions, and compliance to ensure a smooth market entry.

Understanding FDA Regulations in Thailand

The Thai Food and Drug Administration (FDA), under the Ministry of Public Health, mandates that all regulated products meet strict safety and quality standards before being distributed or sold in the Thai market.

For foreign manufacturers without a local legal entity, Emerhub provides Local Authorized Representative (LAR) services, acting as your official license holder to manage registration and compliance on your behalf.

Crucially, all importers and distributors must possess a valid FDA Import License and appoint a local license holder.

Frequently Asked Questions About FDA Registration in Thailand

Can a foreign company apply for FDA registration directly?

No. The Thai FDA requires the applicant to be a locally established entity with a physical warehouse and a valid Thai Import/Manufacturing License. If you don’t have a local entity, Emerhub can act as your Local Authorized Representative (LAR).

How long does the registration process take?

Timelines vary significantly based on category, ranging from 1-2 weeks for cosmetic notifications to over 12 months for high-risk medical devices.

How long is a Thai FDA product license valid?

Most FDA certificates, such as those for food supplements and medical devices, are valid for 5 years. Cosmetic notifications are typically valid for 3 years.

Can I use multiple distributors with one FDA license?

Yes, if Emerhub acts as your Local Authorized Representative (LAR). By holding the license with a neutral third party, you can appoint multiple distributors to sell your products.

What are the requirements for product labels?

All labels must be in Thai. For medical devices and cosmetics, specific font sizes and information (importer details, license number, instructions) must be clearly visible.
