New FDA TOOL for Importers

Do you import food products (or any FDA regulated product) into the U.S.? I've launched a new website (www.FDA-USA.com) to assist you in learning the basic requirements for FDA regulated products. The website features information for importers of food, drugs, cosmetics, medical devices, dietary supplements and alcoholic beverages.

Don't forget, if you are a registered food facility with the FDA and don't comply with FDA's mandatory biennial registration, FDA can cancel your FDA Food Facility Registration. Learn more about the Biennial Registration requirement in my previous post here.
