All exporters of food products to the United States are required to provide the FDA with prior notification of arriving shipments. This advance notice allows the FDA to more effectively protect the U.S. food supply against terrorist acts and other public health emergencies. The amount of notice depends on the method of shipment (express carrier, air, sea, land, rail, mail or baggage), so it is important to file within the allotted time frame. Any shipment arriving in a U.S. port without a Prior Notice will be refused admission.
