FDA – Medical Devices
Establishment Registration + US Agent
Fee: $599 / year
Establishments that manufacture, assemble or process medical devices for use in the United States register with FDA and list their devices. The registration is renewed each year between October 1 and December 31. FDA charges a separate annual fee for this registration ($13,785 for fiscal year 2027); this fee is not included in our consulting fee.
