Under the US Bioterrorism Act, every commercial food shipment arriving in North America requires a valid Prior Notice submitted to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) prior to aircraft departure. Failing to submit Prior Notice results in immediate cargo refusal and border quarantine.
1. Required Prior Notice Data Fields
Submitting a Prior Notice requires complete information regarding the food manufacturer, FDA facility registration number (FFR), product tariff code (HS code), packaging dimensions, and shipping carrier details.
2. Managing Commercial Cargo to North America
Food exporters shipping to the United States or Canada must ensure that all packaging bears clear ingredients labeling and batch identification numbers.
