If your company is on an Import Alert, your goods will not be released for distribution by the U.S. FDA until you can prove your goods are in compliance with applicable FDA regulations, and FDA must review and approve your compliance. This will occur for EACH importation until you successfully Petition to be removed from the Import Alert list.
Companies are placed on the Import Alert list when the company’s products are subject to detention without physical examination. This typically occurs when there is a history of violations; the U.S. FDA’s determines that there are health risks imposed by your company’s products; or potentially because of a history of violations in the country or region of manufacturer.
Diaz Trade Law assists in understanding what is required to have your company removed from the Import Alert List. Diaz Trade Law explains the process, reviews and analyses your documentation and sends the FDA Petitions for the removal of your company from an Import Alert list.
