The FDA typically conducts inspections of FSVP records at an FSVP importer’s place of business. However, if requested in writing by the FDA, the FSVP regulation requires FSVP importers to provide FSVP records to the agency electronically , or through another means that delivers the records promptly . FSVP importers with an active FDA Account ID and password can access the Portal on the FDA’s Unified Registration and Listing System (FURLS) page. An FSVP importer without an existing account can create one from the FURLS page. A User Guide for the Portal is available on the FURLS page.  The Portal supports the goals and objectives of the FDA Strategy for the Safety of Imported Food  through better records management and more efficient communication between the FSVP importer and the FDA.    *Access to FURLS is best via browsers for Microsoft Edge and/or Google Chrome.
