What Is Prior Notice?

Prior Notice is a mandatory FDA notification required for all food, beverages, and dietary supplements imported into the United States. Under the Bioterrorism Act and the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), importers must notify the FDA before a food shipment arrives at a U.S. port of entry. Failure to file — or filing incorrectly — can result in shipment holds, refusals, or destruction of goods.
