Introduction: Why FDA Drug Compliance Is a Business-Critical Requirement
Entering or continuing in the United States pharmaceutical market requires more than product quality—it demands strict regulatory compliance with the US FDA. Any company involved in manufacturing, repackaging, relabeling, private labeling, or distributing drugs for U.S. commercial distribution must complete Drug Establishment Registration and Drug Product Listing through the official FDA CDER Direct Portal.
This is where XPRO America positions itself as a trusted US FDA consulting and US FDA Agent partner, delivering end-to-end regulatory services for drug companies worldwide. From entity registration to Structured Product Labeling (SPL) and post-submission lifecycle management, XPRO America ensures your compliance is accurate, timely, and commercially aligned.
Understanding the FDA CDER Direct Portal

The FDA CDER Direct Portal is the official electronic submission system managed by the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, a division of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
It is mandatory for:
- Drug manufacturers (domestic & foreign)
- Private label distributors
- Generic drug facilities
- Outsourcing facilities (503B)
- Contract manufacturers and packagers
Through CDER Direct, companies submit regulatory data that legally authorizes their drugs to remain in U.S. commercial distribution.
What Is US FDA Drug Establishment Registration?
Drug Establishment Registration is a mandatory annual requirement under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. Any facility involved in drug-related activities must:
- Register the physical establishment with FDA
- Renew registration every year
- Update changes in ownership, location, or operations
XPRO America manages initial registrations, renewals, and amendments, ensuring zero disruption to business operations.
Drug Product Listing & Structured Product Labeling (SPL)

What Is Drug Product Listing?
Drug Listing is the FDA’s method of linking specific drug products to registered establishments. Each listed drug must include:
- Proprietary and non-proprietary names
- Dosage form and route of administration
- Strength and formulation
- Packaging configurations
- Manufacturing and labeling roles
Why SPL Is Critical
The FDA only accepts drug listings in Structured Product Labeling (SPL) format—an XML-based technical standard, not a PDF or Word document.
XPRO America provides:
- SPL authoring and XML structuring
- FDA schema validation
- Error-free CDER Direct uploads
- Ongoing SPL lifecycle updates
This technical expertise significantly reduces FDA rejection risk.
NDC Labeler Code & Product Code Support
A valid National Drug Code (NDC) is required for drugs marketed in the U.S.
Through CDER Direct, XPRO America supports:
- NDC Labeler Code requests
- NDC product and package code reservations
- Corrections and updates
This ensures your products are commercially launch-ready and aligned with distributor and retailer requirements.
