Information Required in Prior Notice of Imported Food

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is proposing to amend its prior notice regulations to add a requirement that the prior notice for articles of food arriving by international mail include the name of the mail service and a mail tracking number and add a requirement that prior notice and food facility registration information be submitted within a certain timeframe, after certain notices of refusal or hold have been issued. We are also proposing certain technical changes to our information systems relevant to prior notice.
