Dues Schedule

Associate members pay a flat fee. Active members determine their dues according to the value of flavors sold (Class A and C members) or used (Class B). A detailed dues schedule is available in PDF format.

Class A members: 

Report the dollar range which includes your company's current total annual sales of:

• all flavors and flavor ingredients manufactured in the United States; and

• any other flavors or flavor ingredients sold in the United States but manufactured outside the United States by an affiliated company.

You may exclude the resale of flavors or flavor ingredients manufactured by a non-affiliated company if resold in the same form without blending, processing, or any other change except repackaging.

Class B members: 

Report the dollar range which includes your company's current total annual usage of flavors and flavor ingredients, both purchased and manufactured for your own use, and used in food produced within the United States, irrespective of its place of sale.

Class C members: 

Report the dollar range that includes your company's current total annual sales of any flavors, flavor ingredients or syrups sold in the United States but manufactured outside the United States.

In calculating annual sales or usage of flavors, please use the most recent 12-month period for which you have actual data or reliable projections.

If your company has international sales, we ask that you consider including those sales when determining your fee category.  Membership fee categories are held in confidence by the FEMA office.
