In this sense, this research seeks to determine how the regulation of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the crisis caused by COVID-19 hinder the process of food exports to the United States by MSMEs in Tamaulipas, under the perspective Uppsala Model. The research is carried out through a case study, selecting the MSME Sazonadores Gordito Huasteco. The instrument used is the semi-structured interview and the qualitative analysis of the thematic content is carried out with the support of ATLAS.ti 22 software. The main results indicate that the owners of MSMEs are unaware of certain requirements established by the FDA for the export of their product. However, they have a general notion of the process they must carry out to internationalize it. In addition, the owners state that they have every intention of starting the export process, but the new reality generated by COVID-19 prevents them from starting, due to the excessive time required at customs to cross products that are not basic necessities. A lo largo de la historia de la humanidad las exportaciones de productos entre países han estado presentes con el fin de satisfacer las necesidades de la población. En ese sentido, la presente investigación busca determinar cómo la regulación de la Administración de Alimentos y Medicamentos (FDA por sus siglas en inglés) y la crisis provocada por el COVID-19 dificultan el proceso de exportación de alimentos hacia Estados Unidos por las MIPyMES tamaulipecas, bajo la óptica del Modelo Uppsala. La investigación se realizó a través del estudio de caso, seleccionando a la MIPyME Sazonadores Gordito Huasteco. El instrumento utilizado es la entrevista semiestructurada y el análisis cualitativo del contenido temático se llevó a cabo con apoyo del software ATLAS.ti 22. Los principales resultados indican que los propietarios de la MIPyME desconocen ciertos requisitos que establece la FDA para la exportación de su producto. Sin embargo, tienen noción general sobre el proceso que deben llevar a cabo para internacionalizarlo. Además, los propietarios manifiestan tener toda la intención de iniciar con el proceso de exportación, pero la nueva realidad generada por el COVID-19 les impide comenzar, por los tiempos excesivos en las aduanas para cruzar los productos que no son de primera necesidad.
