The Food and Drug Administration released the new import filer evaluation procedures and some early feedback on the procedures in an Oct. 12 letter to the National Customs Brokers & Forwarders Association of America. "The process is now final and is the expected method of conducting filer evaluations by all our field offices," said John Verbeten, director of the FDA's Division of Import Operations. "Of course, with any new program, especially one national in scope, there will be an adjustment period and both FDA and the filing community should be prepared for hiccups; continuing our good communication will be key in getting the program running smoothly." The agency also provided a flow chart of how the evaluations work. The FDA said in September it began the new processes and it planned to provide details to the NCBFAA (see 1809250041).
