products. FDA may authorize specific
lines to enter the U.S. unimpeded, while
others in the same entry are to be held
pending further FDA review/action.
An important feature developed and
programmed into FDA’s automated
system is that all entry data passes
through a screening criteria program.
FDA’s electronic screening criteria
module makes the initial screening
decision on every entry of foreign-origin
FDA-regulated product. Virtually
instantaneously after the entry is filed,
the filer receives FDA’s admissibility
decision covering each entry, i.e., ‘‘MAY
PROCEED’’ or ‘‘FDA REVIEW.’’
Examples of FDA’s need to further
review an entry include: Products
originating from a specific country or
manufacturer known to have a history of
problems, FDA has no previous
knowledge of the foreign manufacturer
and/or product, and an import alert
covering the product has been issued,
etc. The system assists FDA entry
reviewers by notifying them of
as an extension of the prior approval of
collection of this data via a different
media, i.e., paper. There are additional
data elements that filers can provide to
FDA along with other entry-related
information that, by doing so, may
result in their receiving an FDA
admissibility decision more
expeditiously, e.g., the quantity, value,
and Affirmation(s) of Compliance with
Qualifier(s).
At each U.S. port of entry (seaport,
landport, and airport) where foreignorigin FDA-regulated products are
offered for import, FDA is notified
through CBP’s Automated Commercial
System (ACS) by the importer (or his
agent) of the arrival of each entry.
Following such notification FDA
reviews relevant data to ensure the
imported product meets the standards
as are required for domestic products,
makes an admissibility decision, and
informs the importer and CBP of its
decision. A single entry frequently
contains multiple lines of different
information such as the issuance of
import alerts, thus averting the chance
that such information will be missed.
With the inception of the interface
with CBP’s ACS, FDA’s electronic
screening criteria program is applied
nationwide. This virtually eliminates
problems such as ‘‘port shopping,’’ e.g.,
attempts to intentionally slip products
through one FDA port when refused by
another, or to file entries at a port
known to receive a high volume of
entries. Every electronically submitted
entry line of foreign-origin FDAregulated product undergoes automated
screening described previously in this
document. The screening criteria can be
set to be as specific or as broad as
applicable; changes are virtually
immediately effective. This capability is
of tremendous value in protecting the
public in the event there is a need to
immediately halt a specific product
from entering the United States.
FDA estimates the burden of this
collection of information as follows:
