In international logistics, FDA refers to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. This is an agency of the US federal government responsible for regulating the safety and efficacy of food, drugs, medical devices, cosmetics, tobacco products, and some electronic products.

In international trade, especially when it comes to the export or import of food, drugs, medical devices, and cosmetics, companies need to ensure that their products comply with relevant FDA regulations and standards. For certain categories of products, FDA approval or registration is required to enter the US market. Logistics companies or exporters typically handle these compliance issues to ensure that goods are not detained or returned upon arrival in the United States due to non-compliance with FDA requirements.

In short, FDA mainly refers to the regulatory requirements of the United States in the import of food, drugs, and related products in international logistics.
