Two Day Program: FDA's New Import Program for 2017 - The Need for Strict Precision (Minneapolis, United States - September 7-8, 2017) - Research and Markets

The "FDA's New Import Program for 2017 - Strict Precision" conference has been added to Research and Markets' 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 206. If you fail to correctly use new import procedures and programs, you will be operating under an expensive disadvantage.
