Senda and Provision Consulting Group: the FDA work, then every shipment

Provision Consulting Group, at provisionfda.com, is a US FDA regulatory consulting firm with a K-beauty practice. It registers facilities, lists products, offers Responsible Person services, reviews labels and handles the drug side of Korean sunscreen. That is the FDA work. Every container you import after it still needs its registration numbers checked, its certificates and ingredient lists on file, its Korean invoice read and its duty priced. Senda runs that part.

Keep Provision for registration, listing, the Responsible Person role, label review, sunscreen drug work and help when FDA stops a shipment. Use Senda for the shipments you run yourself: MoCRA numbers checked before arrival, documents read and cross-checked, Section 301 priced, and a packet ready for your broker.

Where Senda earns its place

What you get that is hard to get elsewhere.

MoCRA numbers, checked on every shipment

Registration and listing numbers sit on the supplier and the product line. Each cosmetics shipment is checked against them before it arrives, and Senda names what is missing. Senda records and checks; it files nothing with FDA.

CoA and INCI list on the checklist

Certificates of analysis and ingredient lists are document types in their own right on a cosmetics shipment, so a missing one is flagged before the container lands.

Korean invoices, read

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

Papers that agree

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

Section 301, priced by line

The general rate, Section 301 and any other additional duty are stacked for each line, with each rate's source named, and kept on the shipment. An estimate for your broker to confirm, never a filed value.

One packet for your broker

One download per shipment: its documents, a cover sheet and a plain list of what is still missing. Your own customs broker files from it.

Chapter 33 HS suggestions

Skin care, make-up, hair care and fragrance codes suggested from the US tariff schedule, as a starting point for your broker.

FDA notices in your alerts

FDA actions on cosmetics published in the Federal Register arrive with your other compliance alerts, matched to the products you import.

Which one to pick

Which one fits depends on the job.

Choose Senda if

  • You are the US importer. Your suppliers are registered, and the work now is every container that follows.
  • Someone on your team chases certificates of analysis and INCI lists by email, or retypes Korean supplier invoices.
  • You want the Section 301 line on Korean cosmetics priced before the goods land, with each rate's source on the page.
  • You work with your own forwarder and broker, and would rather hand the broker one packet per entry than a thread of attachments.

Choose Provision Consulting Group if

  • You need your facility registered and your products listed with FDA, help with the Responsible Person role, or your labels, ingredient lists and product web pages reviewed before you sell in the US.
  • You sell a Korean sunscreen or another SPF product. In the US that is an OTC drug, and Provision's pages describe the drug establishment registration, NDC labeler code, drug listing and label review it involves. Senda does none of that.
  • An FDA notice has already stopped a shipment, and you want US-based consultants to read it, speak to FDA and file a clarification or appeal for you.
  • You would rather own a K-beauty brand than run its operations, and want one firm to source it in Korea, import it and onboard it to US retail and online platforms. That is what GlowBridge and C2C describe.

Registration is one filing. Every shipment after is the job.

Provision Consulting Group calls itself “The U.S. FDA Regulatory Consulting Firm”, and its K-beauty work covers the FDA side: registration and listing, the Responsible Person role, label and ingredient review, and the drug work a Korean sunscreen needs, because the US treats sunscreen as an OTC drug. Its own write-up from Cosmoprof Miami 2026 makes the point this page rests on: competitiveness in North America “no longer hinges on simply being ‘registered’”.

The rest arrives by container. Each shipment needs the registration and listing numbers for the supplier and the product lines on it, a certificate of analysis and an INCI list, an invoice that agrees with the packing list and bill of lading, and a duty figure that includes Section 301. Korean cosmetics on free-rate lines such as 3304.99.50 now pay 12.5% under heading 9903.05.71, and U.S. note 52 does not exempt heading 3304.

That is the work Senda runs, for the importer, on every shipment. It files nothing with FDA or CBP and gives no legal advice. So the two fit together: Provision gets the brand registered and speaks to FDA when something goes wrong, Senda checks each shipment against what was registered, and your broker files the entry from a packet that is already complete.

Questions

What people ask us.

Does Senda replace Provision Consulting Group?

No. Provision registers facilities, lists products, offers Responsible Person services, reviews labels, handles sunscreen drug work and speaks to FDA when a shipment is stopped. Senda does none of that. It runs the shipments that follow: the MoCRA numbers checked before arrival, the documents read and cross-checked, the duty priced and the broker packet assembled. Many importers will use both.

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

No. Senda never registers, lists or files anything with FDA, and it is not a US Agent or Responsible Person. It records the numbers your registration produced and checks every cosmetics shipment against them.

What about Korean sunscreen?

In the US a sunscreen is an OTC drug, not only a cosmetic, as Provision's own guide explains. Drug establishment registration, NDC labeler codes, drug listing and drug label review are services Provision offers, and Senda does not handle them. Senda still reads the shipment's documents and prices its duty.

Provision's C2C service includes importing and customs. Where does Senda fit?

C2C is done for you: Provision sources from Korean manufacturers, handles importing and customs clearance, delivers the goods and onboards the line to retail and online platforms. If that is what you want, you do not need Senda as well. Senda is for the importer who buys from Korean suppliers and runs each shipment with its own forwarder and broker.

How much does Provision cost?

Its pages publish no price for registration or consulting projects; they offer a consultation form instead. The prices they do publish are for Consultant's Insights, email answers to FDA questions: $500 a month for unlimited cosmetics questions, or $300 for a single question. RealTime FDA is free for six months with any of its MoCRA services. Senda's Core plan is $249/month for 5 users. We read Provision's pages on 30 September 2026; ask them for a current quote.
