SID Process Filing

Fee: $299 / product

After FCE registration, the scheduled process applied to each product is filed with FDA; each filing receives a SID number. The filing is made within 60 days after registration and before any new product is packed. Filing does not mean FDA approval.

Who Is Obligated?

Frequently Asked Questions

Does a SID number mean FDA approval?
No. Filing the scheduled process does not mean FDA approval.
When do I need to file?
Within 60 days after FCE registration and before any new product is packed.
If I change the packaging, do I need a new filing?
The filing may need to be updated when the product, container or process changes. When you notify us of the change, we assess whether a new filing is needed.
