The COVID emergency has caused dramatic health emergencies on a global scale. As a result, there has been particularly strong demand for surgical masks in the US. Following the first wave of the virus, the FDA authorization procedure for importing masks was greatly simplified in order to facilitate exports from other countries and to speed up the supply chain.


The simplification of the import procedures in the USA has very specific limits, however: the templates must meet stringent requirements regarding labels and packaging. It is necessary to pay close attention to what is written on the labels of the masks in order not to leave the FDA parameters for free sale on the American market.

It should be noted that the FDA still considers masks to be a medical device. The FDA certification procedure for some types of masks has been simplified but all the other procedures relating to the import of medical devices into the USA remain valid. Below you can find a summary list of what is needed at the FDA and American customs level for the import practice.


ExportUSA can perform all FDA compliance practices for the export of masks to America. 

With ExportUSA you will have no problems with American customs and with the FDA.

We can also prepare the accompanying letter to complete the customs import procedure in the United States and you can sell the health masks on the American market without hindrance.
