Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/tnw872/fdas_new_import) has announced the addition of the "FDA's New Import Program Concerning International Consequences: 2-day In-person Seminar 2015 (San Francisco, CA)" conference to their offering.
Importing products regulated by the FDA has become more complicated. The FDA is using increasingly strict criteria. In order to ensure that your imported product does not get detained or refused entry, you should be knowledgeable about FDA requirements for foods, medicines, medical devices, cosmetics and radiation emitting devices. In addition, there are import requirements that are enforced by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and intersect with the FDA's legal requirements.
When products are detained, the situation becomes a very costly problem, and a firm needs to know what its options are and how it will resolve the detention quickly. Detentions can hold up a product for months only to have it re-exported or destroyed at your expense. The FDA's use of automatic detention procedures makes it increasingly difficult to conduct an import business. A foreign manufacturer may receive a Warning Letter from the FDA or an inspectional 483. You need to know how a FDA regulatory action affects your import business and what to do before that action dries up your import pipeline. Understanding all of these and other issues related to product detentions and how to deal with it, how US customs laws and FDA laws intersect etc. is critical to a firm's successful import business and help reducing the commercial disadvantages it creates.
With what you learn in this seminar, you can work more productively and mitigate the risk of FDA detention. A high-ranking ex-FDA insider will give you straight talk on how FDA operates and the agency's mindset. You will learn practical information, such as how to interact with FDA, the options you have to resolve problems and how you can prevent problems in the first place.
