FAQ
Q: Does the permit have an expiration date?
A: Yes, the issued permit is valid for 5 years. You may apply for an extension with the Taiwan Food and Drug Administration (TFDA) within 3 months before expiration.
Q: My product has passed the registration process, but customs raised concerns about the Chinese label. Why?
A: Labeling on product packaging is not part of the TFDA registration review. Instead, compliance is the responsibility of the importer. If needed, we provide Chinese labeling compliance review as an optional service to help verify that your labels meet Taiwan’s regulations.
Q: What are the common reasons for registration rejection?
A common issue is exceeding regulatory limits on ingredients or failing to properly respond to review inquiries. Many applicants struggle with these challenges due to limited knowledge of local regulations. Our team provides ingredient compliance evaluation and document review services, ensuring your application meets TFDA standards and helping you secure approval faster.
