The 5-Step FDA Compliance Framework

1️⃣ Proactive Communication is Key

  ● FDA holds jurisdiction over imported products

  ● Upon detention:

◆ Immediately request detention notice (FDA Form 2877)

◆ Clarify requirements: "Why detained? What documents needed?"

◆ Submit response within strict deadlines (typically 10-30 days)

2️⃣ Documentation Excellence

  ● Submit complete, current documentation:

◆ Certificate of Analysis (CoA)

◆ Country of Origin certificates

◆ Product composition details

◆ Quality inspection reports

  ● Verify all product categories match filings

3️⃣ Sampling Protocol Mastery

  ● Standard 3-5% inspection rate

  ● If sampled:

◆ Provide full testing cooperation

◆ Prepare appeal evidence for potential hearings

◆ One-time appeal opportunity for non-compliant items

4️⃣ Technical Compliance Adjustments

  ● For quality/technical issues:

◆ Negotiate corrective action plans

◆ Implement FDA-required modifications

◆ Submit revised compliance documentation

5️⃣ Strategic Withdrawal When Necessary

  ● For irreparable violations:

◆ Voluntarily withdraw shipments

◆ Comply with FDA destruction orders

◆ Execute consumer notifications if required
