Registrar Corp vs Senda: the filing, then every shipment after

Registrar Corp registers cosmetics facilities with FDA under MoCRA, lists products and acts as US Agent. That is one filing, kept up to date. Then the containers start arriving. Senda runs that side: the MoCRA numbers checked on every cosmetics shipment, the certificate of analysis and INCI list on file, Korean invoices read, the duty priced and a packet ready for your customs broker.

Keep Registrar Corp for registration, product listing and the US Agent role. Senda runs every shipment after, so each one reaches your broker with its numbers checked and its documents in order.

Where Senda earns its place

What you get that is hard to get elsewhere.

MoCRA numbers on every shipment

Registration and listing numbers sit against each supplier and product line. Every cosmetics shipment is checked against them, and Senda names what is missing before it arrives.

The CoA and INCI list, on file

Certificates of analysis and INCI lists are document types of their own on the cosmetics checklist. When one is missing near arrival, Senda raises an alert.

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.

Duty with every layer shown

The general rate, Section 301 and other additional duties stacked line by line, with each rate's source named. An estimate for your broker to confirm.

A packet for your broker

One download per shipment with its documents, a cover sheet and what is still missing. Your broker files from it; Senda files nothing.

Which one to pick

Which one fits depends on the job.

Choose Senda if

  • You import Korean cosmetics and ship every month, and the registration is already done.
  • You want the MoCRA numbers, the certificate of analysis and the INCI list checked before a shipment arrives.
  • Your supplier invoices come in Korean and someone retypes them.
  • Your broker asks for the same documents on every entry and you want them in one packet.

Choose Registrar Corp if

  • Your company makes or fills cosmetics outside the US and needs a US Agent. Registrar Corp legally takes that role and talks to FDA for you; Senda never does.
  • You need facility registration and product listing filed and renewed, shade by shade, or a US label and ingredient review.
  • A shipment is already detained or your products are on an import alert, and you need someone to work it with FDA directly.
  • You want adverse event management or formulation and GMP software, or a Responsible Person in the EU, UK or Canada.

Keep your US agent. Senda runs every shipment after

Registrar Corp and Senda do different jobs. Registrar Corp files with FDA: the facility registration, the product listings and their renewals, and it answers FDA as your US Agent. Senda files nothing with FDA or CBP, is not a US Agent or Responsible Person, and gives no legal advice.

What Senda does is the part that repeats. Each cosmetics shipment carries products that need their registration and listing numbers on record, a certificate of analysis and an INCI list, an invoice that matches the packing list and the bill of lading, and a duty figure your broker can check. Senda keeps all of that on the shipment and names what is missing before it arrives.

Duty is one place the shipment side matters. Lines such as 3304.99.50 carry a free general rate, yet Korean goods on them pay 12.5% Section 301 duty under heading 9903.05.71 (91 FR 47318); U.S. note 52 does not exempt heading 3304. Senda stacks that line on the estimate with its source, so it is on the shipment before your broker sees the entry.

Sunscreens and SPF products are OTC drugs in the US, not only cosmetics. Their drug registration and listing are specialist work, and Senda does not do it.

Questions

What people ask us.

Is Senda a Registrar Corp alternative for MoCRA registration?

No. Senda does not register facilities, list products or act as a US Agent. It is the software for the shipments that follow, and it works beside whichever agent you use, Registrar Corp included.

What does Senda do with our MoCRA registration?

It records the facility registration and product listing numbers against your suppliers and product lines, checks every cosmetics shipment against them, and puts a MoCRA section in the packet your customs broker receives.

Does the MoCRA small-business exemption change any of this?

The exemption, for businesses under $1M in average annual US cosmetics sales, covers only GMP and registration and listing. Your shipments still need their documents and their duty worked out. Ask your agent whether the exemption applies to you.

How much does Senda cost next to Registrar Corp?

They are different purchases. Registrar Corp's order form prices each registration and each tier of product listings. Senda is a flat monthly subscription, from the Core plan. One covers the filing; the other covers every shipment after it.
