The use of Foreign Trade Zones and Bonded warehouses for FDA regulated products create different opportunities and different obligations. Firms need to understand the requirements of each to use them to their advantage. The imported products will have different regulatory requirements depending on the option chosen. In some cases, the FDA does not give you an option and the outcome is expensive. Firms also must consider the physical security and controls of their products. Theft, loss, damage or diversion must be factored into your decisions. Your choices need to consider the risks posed by using one approach versus another. Your cargo shipment may be very valuable and should be treated as such.
The webinar covers how the use of Foreign Trade Zones and Bonded Warehouses to your advantage and what obligations there are for FDA and the U.S. Customs and Border Protection service (CBP.) There are pros cons to using each, and there are different regulatory requirements for CBP and FDA. Some imported products will never have an easy path.
