Senda and KTT World: a K-beauty importer of record, compared

KTT World is a US company that acts as importer of record and US Agent for K-beauty brands, and files their FDA registration and listing. Senda is the software the importer's team runs every shipment in. It checks MoCRA numbers before arrival, reads Korean invoices, cross-checks the documents, prices the duty and builds the packet for your broker.

If you need a US company to be your importer of record, US Agent or Responsible Person, KTT World does that and Senda does not. If your own team imports, or you want every shipment's paperwork, checks and duty in one record you keep, Senda is built for it, and it works alongside an IOR service.

Where Senda earns its place

What you get that is hard to get elsewhere.

MoCRA numbers on every shipment

Facility registration and product listing numbers sit against each supplier and product line. Every cosmetics shipment is checked before arrival, and Senda names anything missing.

Korean invoices, read

Korean and bilingual supplier invoices are read like English ones. Each value links to where it sits on the page, and a person confirms it.

CoA and INCI list on the checklist

Certificates of analysis and ingredient lists are document types in their own right. If one is missing as arrival nears, you get the missing-document alert.

Documents checked against each other

The invoice, packing list and bill of lading are compared before your broker files. Each mismatch is shown on the page it came from.

Duty, line by line

The general rate, Section 301, Section 232 and AD/CVD are stacked for each line, and each rate's source is named. It is an estimate for your broker to confirm.

A packet for your broker

One download per shipment: its documents, a cover sheet and a plain list of what is still missing. Your broker files; Senda prepares the file.

Which one to pick

Which one fits depends on the job.

Choose Senda if

  • Your company is the importer, and your team runs each cosmetics shipment itself.
  • You want MoCRA numbers, the CoA and the INCI list checked on every shipment before it arrives, in a record you keep.
  • You want the Section 301 duty priced line by line on each shipment, as an estimate your broker confirms, not only settled afterwards.
  • You already have an importer of record, and your team still needs one place for every shipment's paperwork.

Choose KTT World if

  • You are a Korean brand with no US company of your own and need someone to be the importer of record, with the bond and broker arranged for you.
  • You need a US Agent who receives FDA's contact and relays it in Korean, or a US company to take the Responsible Person role.
  • You want your facility registration, product listings, label review and renewals handled as a service, in Korean, by one company.

A legal role, and a record

KTT World puts the case well on its own importer-of-record page: registration tells FDA about the product and the facility, and the importer of record brings the goods into the US. It argues for keeping registration data and entry data in one place, and offers to be both the US Agent and the importer to do it. Those are legal roles, and software cannot hold them.

Senda is the record those roles work from. Korean cosmetics on free-rate lines such as 3304.99.50 pay a 12.5% Section 301 duty under heading 9903.05.71, so every shipment needs its duty priced as well as its paperwork checked. Senda does both. It checks the MoCRA numbers, the CoA and the INCI list before arrival, reads the Korean invoice, cross-checks the documents, stacks the duty and hands the broker one packet. With KTT World as your importer or not, the shipment record stays with your team.

Questions

What people ask us.

Can Senda be my importer of record or US Agent?

No. Senda is software. It is not an importer of record, US Agent, Responsible Person or customs broker, and it files nothing with FDA or CBP. A service like KTT World can hold those roles, and Senda works alongside it.

Does Senda register my facility or list my products with FDA?

No. Senda records the registration and listing numbers you already hold against suppliers and product lines, then checks them on every cosmetics shipment before it arrives.

What does Senda add if KTT World is already my importer?

One record your team keeps for every shipment: the MoCRA check before arrival, the CoA and INCI list on the checklist, Korean invoices read and cross-checked, the duty stacked line by line, and FDA cosmetics notices among your alerts.

Does Senda handle sunscreens?

Not as drugs. In the US, sunscreens are OTC drugs, and Senda does not do drug registration or listing. Senda keeps the shipment record and its documents; your regulatory adviser handles the drug side.
