Are facilities that import food into the United States solely for export from a bonded warehouse required to register? Does the bonded warehouse that holds the food have to register?

No. Facilities that manufacture/process, pack, or hold food entering the United States solely for
the purpose of exportation or trans-shipment to another country (i.e., none of the food is for
consumption in the Unites States) are not required to register (see 21 CFR 1.225). The intent of
the Food Facility Registration regulation is to identify facilities that manufacture/process, pack,
or hold food for consumption in the United States. However, food entering the United States
solely for future export is subject to the Prior Notice of Imported Food regulation (see 21 CFR
part 1, subpart I).
