From Nena Dockery, Scientific & Regulatory Affairs Manager, NATIONAL ENZYME COMPANY

We live in an era in which business opportunities are not limited by geographic region. Currently the market for nutritional supplements is expanding worldwide, and along with it, the desire to profit from those opportunities. But, unfortunately there is more than a language barrier to overcome. Differences in Customs requirements, registration paperwork and marketing regulations all contribute to a process that can be overwhelming. Where are the best markets? What are the first steps a distributor must take in entering an international market? How do you begin the process?

For distributors who desire to enter the International market, probably the most important advice would be to seek out a manufacturer who knows what documentation to send and where to send it; one who has experience in supplying the necessary information to get a product successfully registered and marketed in a timely manner. International product registration can take months, or even years under the best of circumstances. Therefore it is critical that you do your homework and then seek assistance from a manufacturer who knows how to navigate across the regulatory rough waters.
