Topic Summary: Pursuant to the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), the FDA now is requiring U.S. food importers to work with their suppliers to verify that their shipments meet U.S. safety standards known as the Foreign Supplier Verification Program. Also, the new Nutrition Facts Label on dietary fiber and sugar labeling means all labels will have to be redesigned. Failure to meet these new requirements as well as others regarding sanitary transportation, preventive controls, produce safety, labeling and basic registration requirements can expose companies to supply chain disruptions, delays in entry processing, and possibly the exclusion of their products from the U.S. marketplace. Similar developments have been implemented that impose greater controls on supply chain visibility for other products not controlled by the FDA including seafood, dietary supplements, and any products that in whole or in part may have been grown or made with forced labor. In addition, U.S. Customs imposes requirements on all products for determining admissibility, and the duties, fees and taxes owed at the time of importation. In this session we will discuss the best practices for compliance and the steps to take to avoid unnecessary surprises when trying to clear food into the U.S. Speaker(s):
