Navigating U.S. state regulations is essential for market access – but the complexity can be overwhelming.

At Sagentia Regulatory, we simplify this fragmented landscape. Our team manages the full lifecycle of state registrations and renewals, helping you stay compliant, avoid costly delays, and expand your product reach across all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. With deep regulatory insight and proactive tracking, we turn complexity into clarity – so you can focus on innovation and growth.

State pesticide registration and renewal services

Your shortcut to seamless state pesticide registration and renewal

Bringing a pesticide product to market requires more than federal approval – it demands precise, state-by-state registration. Each U.S. state has its own set of regulations, and staying compliant is essential to avoid costly delays or penalties.

At Sagentia Regulatory, we manage the full lifecycle of your state pesticide registrations – from initial filings to renewals, amendments, and cancellations. Our team maintains strong relationships with state regulators and stays ahead of evolving requirements, helping you reduce risk and accelerate market access.

We support your success with tailored strategies that streamline compliance and expand your product’s reach across all U.S. states and territories.

  • Label reviews to ensure compliance with state regulations
  • Strategy assessments to maximize product distribution
  • Monitoring and reporting on state product status year-round

  • Full state product registration and maintenance services – we monitor product status and handle all documentation for registration and renewal across U.S. states and territories

Fertilizer regulation

Expert guidance through every stage of fertilizer registration

Fertilizers, soil amendments and beneficial substances are regulated at the state level, not federally. While the Association of American Plant Food Control Officials (AAPFCO) promotes consistency, each state maintains its own laws, requirements, and timelines.

At Sagentia Regulatory, we help you navigate this fragmented landscape with confidence. Our team understands the nuances of state-by-state fertilizer regulation and can manage every aspect of your product’s registration, renewal and tonnage reporting – saving you time, reducing risk, and ensuring compliance.

Fertilizers are also subject to the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), as they may contain a variety of heavy metals and chemical compounds. All chemical ingredients in fertilizers and amending materials must be listed in the TSCA Inventory. At Sagentia Regulatory, we assess your product against TSCA requirements and guide you through the compliance process – helping you avoid costly delays, enforcement actions, or business disruptions.

Our fertilizer regulation consulting services include:

  • Developing label language and format
  • Reviewing label claims
  • Preparing and submitting new fertilizer, soil amendment and beneficial substance registrations
  • Renewal maintenance and tonnage reporting
  • Support with efficacy data requirements, if needed
  • Guidance on regulatory changes that may impact product registration

With deep regulatory insight and a proprietary tracking system, we reduce administrative burden, mitigate risk, and help you stay ahead of shifting requirements.

Animal feed regulations and tonnage reporting

Simplify nationwide compliance for animal feed and the pet food subset

State-level compliance is one of the biggest regulatory challenges for animal feed and pet food companies in the US. Each state sets its own rules for product registration, labeling, and tonnage reporting and, despite federal oversight, variations can be significant. This becomes especially complex for online sales, where products must meet the requirements of all 50 states. Whether you’re marketing complete feeds, premixes, animal supplements, or pet food, Sagentia Regulatory can help you manage multi-state obligations with confidence and efficiency. We also evaluate products, ingredients, additives, and claims to ensure they meet federal standards that underpin state-level regulations.

Our animal feed product registration and maintenance services include:

  • Registering complete feeds, feed additives, premixes, and pet food across all 50 states
  • Handling renewals, ongoing registration management, and tonnage reporting (including sales volume submissions by product type and jurisdiction) across relevant state agencies
  • Conducting label reviews for animal feed and pet food to ensure compliance with individual state regulations
  • Evaluating pet food product portfolios (meals, treats and snacks, supplements, nutrient-added waters, edible chews) in line with Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) Pet Food Label Modernization guidelines
  • Evaluating product formulations for compliance with federal and state regulations
  • Interpreting Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act), Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), and Current Good Manufacturing Practice (CGMP) requirements and apply them to animal feed and pet food formulations
  • Supporting new product launches with regulatory strategy, submission planning, and market entry guidance
  • Liaising with state regulators to resolve registration or reporting issues efficiently
