AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Yes — paprika oleoresin is listed as a color additive exempt from FDA batch certification, but it must still comply with the identity and use conditions specified in 21 CFR 73.345. Importers must file FDA prior notice, and the foreign manufacturing facility must be FDA-registered. If the oleoresin is used in a specific food application, the importer should confirm that the concentration and carrier solvent comply with applicable food additive regulations. Consult a licensed customs broker or FDA regulatory specialist for current admissibility requirements.

The production method and physical form described on the supplier's specification sheet are the primary classification determinants.
