Prior Notice of Imported Foods
Sending notification to Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of imported shipments of food articles before arriving in US is mandatory. The notice includes information such as product, quantity, and packaging, and related facilities, like the manufacturer, shipper, owner, and ultimate consignee.
In case an article of food arrives at the port of arrival with incompetent prior notice or no advance notice to FDA, the food will be subject to the refusal of admission and may not be delivered to the importer, owner or consignee.
