FDA Offers Small Entity Compliance Guide on Prior Notice of Imported Food

(World Trade Interactive)

The Food and Drug Administration has announced the availability of a guide to help small entities understand and comply with a November 7, 2008, final rule requiring prior notice of food (including animal feed) that is imported or offered for import into the U.S. This guide restates the current requirements for prior notice in simplified format and language but is not binding on either FDA or the public. FDA strongly recommends that affected parties consult the appropriate regulations in addition to reading this guide.

The guide can be downloaded here (PDF).
