On Septembre 9, 2026, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued an update clarifying that it does not provide certificates, letters, emails, or any other official verification documents to confirm cosmetic product facility registration, product listing, or registration exemptions. Under section 607 of the FD&C Act, as amended by the Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act of 2022 (MoCRA), facility owners must register with the FDA every two years, and responsible persons must list their products and ingredients annually. However, the agency emphasizes that assigning a registration or listing number does not constitute FDA approval or serve as a promotional tool. This clarification comes in response to a surge in inquiries driven by e-commerce platforms like TikTok Shop requiring sellers to present proof of FDA registration or official exemption letters before listing products on their sites.
