Webinar May 7: Changes in the FDA Prior Notice Final Rule – from the FDA Perspective

NCBFAA Educational Institute
Thursday, May 7, 2009, Noon - 1:30 p.m. ET
Cost: $50.00 per member or non-member participant

Presented by: FDA
Moderator: Cynthia Allen, Director, NCBFAA Educational Institute

The FDA Prior Notice Final Rule, published November 7, 2008, in the Federal Register, takes effect May 6, 2009. The Final Rule contains significant changes from the Interim Final Rule under which the trade and FDA have been operating.

During the webinar, FDA representatives will address the changes from an operational and regulatory perspective. Compliance with the Final Rule from an automated perspective will be a challenge, as it is anticipated that the changes required in the Customs and Border Protection’s Automated Commercial System (ACS) system will not be complete. The FDA will outline methods to comply with the Final Rule until such changes can be made in ACS.

This is your opportunity to ask the FDA representatives questions about these rule changes and any other FDA import issues.
