Registration of foreign food manufacturing facilities (FFMF) exporting certain food categories to India is mandatory from September 1, 2024. The categories include milk and milk products, meat and meat products (including poultry, fish), egg powder, infant food, and nutraceuticals. FSSAI has created an online 'ReFoM' portal containing registered FFMF details provided by exporting countries' competent authorities. Each registered facility receives a unique registration number (URN). Import clearance officials must verify FFMF registration on the ReFoM portal before allowing imports. FFMF registration is an ongoing process, with FSSAI updating the portal based on information from exporting countries. Customs officials are instructed to ensure compliance and sensitize stakeholders about this requirement effective September 1, 2024.
