Understanding US Regulations for Importing Dietary Supplements: Best Practices and Pitfalls to Avoid
Background:
Importing dietary supplements to the US can present a range of challenges for individuals or companies. One of the most significant difficulties is navigating the complex system of regulation and compliance requirements set forth by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The regulations surrounding dietary supplements can be highly prescriptive, with strict requirements for labeling, ingredient sourcing, and manufacturing quality. Additionally, the FDA performs random inspections of supplements to ensure compliance, and non-compliance can result in significant legal penalties.
This webinar is, therefore, set up to provide comprehensive guidance on importing dietary supplements to the US market, with highlights on best practices and pitfalls to avoid.
