Foreign facility registration & agent.
For notified categories, the overseas factory must be registered with FSSAI before its product can be imported. Overseas brands also need someone in India who knows the file.
Your overseas factory registered, and one India-side contact who knows the file.
Where the rule comes from

Common questions
Which products need facility registration?
The notified categories — FSSAI’s order lists them, and the list can change. We check the current list for your product.
Do I still need an Indian importer?
Yes — the importer holds a Central Licence under the Importer kind of business.
Often needed alongside.
