Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "FDA's Import Program for 2016 - New Pathways and Pitfalls: 2-Day In-Person Seminar by Ex-FDA Official" conference to their offering.
The FDA continues to change its import program to better manage new problems and to use new procedures to make the whole process easier.
The FDA and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) are relying more and more on computer programs to expedite the import process. When and how you use these programs can make a big difference in the net profit derived from even a single shipment.
The new Voluntary Qualified Importer Program (VQIP) is one such example. Another example is CBP's and FDA's implementation of the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) program, which will become mandatory for importers in 2016. If you fail to correctly use new import procedures and programs, you will be operating under an expensive disadvantage.
Learning Objectives:
- FDA's new cost-saving import programs
- Understand how U.S. Customs and FDA legal requirements intersect
- Know how to manage foreign suppliers
- Understand FDA's internal procedures
