View Rule

FDA is issuing a rule to amend the prior notice (PN) regulation at 21 CFR 1.281(b) to add a requirement for people submitting PN to provide the name of the mail service and mail tracking number for articles of food imported or offered for import by international mail.  This rule will also amend 1.280(a)(2) to remove the requirement that the PN for articles of food arriving by international mail be submitted through the FDA Prior Notice System Interface (FDA PNSI), and amend 1.283 and 1.285 to create a timeframe for submitting post-refusal/hold submissions which, if not met, will require the article to be dealt with as set forth in CBP regulations related to general order merchandise, except that, unless otherwise agreed to by CBP and FDA, it may only be sold for export or destroyed. Section 801(m) of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 381(m)) directs FDA to issue regulations requiring PN to FDA of an article of food that is imported or offered for import into the U.S. The information in PN enables FDA to target import inspections more effectively, thereby helping to protect our nation's food supply against bioterrorism acts and other public health emergencies.
