Description

In this medical device training on Importing and Exporting learn and understand the import and export process for unapproved and approved medical devices and the documentation process involved. Examine the import and export requirements and ensuring compliance success.

Why Should You Attend:
Any medical device that is legally in the U.S. may be exported anywhere in the world without prior FDA notification or approval. The export provisions under section 802 of the FD&C Act only apply to unapproved devices. But all medical devices that are imported into the U.S. must meet Bureau of Customs and Border Protection (CBP) requirements in addition to FDA. Product that does not meet FDA regulatory requirements may be detained upon entry.

Devices that have not been approved or cleared in the U.S. must follow the export provisions of the FD&C Act. Foreign firms that manufacture medical devices and/or products that emit radiation that are imported into the United States must comply with applicable U.S. regulations before, during, and after importing into the U.S. or its territories. For exporting, while FDA does not place any restrictions on the export of devices, certain countries may require written certification that a firm or its devices are in compliance with U.S. law. In such instances FDA will accommodate U.S. firms by providing a Certificate for Foreign Government (CFG).

This Webinar will provide an overview of the requirements and expectations and an introduction to the regulations, including 21 CFR 1, Subpart E--Imports and Exports.
