New Zealand based FDA bio-security compliance experts
About Kiwi and Associates
Kiwi and Associates have provided exporting advice to non-US owned New Zealand, Australian and Pacifika organisations in the food and beverage industries for over 20 years.
FDA registration is required for all companies that manufacture, process, pack, or store food and/or beverages that may be consumed in the States. Exporters from outside the States must designate a US Agent with a location in the US for FDA communications.
K+A can do this for you, as we are a New Zealand-based company with an office in Honolulu, Hawaii.
K+A is not aligned with any particular shipping or air freight organisation, enabling you to choose your own providers independent of your US exporting compliance needs.
Our History
K+A was created in 2003 by Robyn Bartram - former NZ Exporter of the Year. In visiting trade shows and in her close work with NZ Trade and Enterprise, Robyn identified that there was a need to help organisations that export to navigate through the FDA red tape.
In 2009, the company structure was expanded to allow for future growth. In 2016, we have further added to our business with a dedicated Client Relationship Manager, Brooke McPheat.
This coincided with the well-earned retirement of Robyn in 2017. Brooke is available for your call, text or email and can assist you same day.
