Quick answer
Import-alert due diligence should happen before booking cargo, not after arrival. Checking entity and product risk early prevents costly last-minute holds.
Pre-shipment due diligence workflow
- Screen manufacturer and product against current import alerts.
- Validate facility registration and status recency.
- Confirm product-code and labeling consistency for submitted records.
Risk-tier decisioning
Classify shipments into low, medium, and high alert exposure tiers with defined sign-off requirements. High-risk lanes require documented mitigation before dispatch.
Evidence pack for risky lanes
Prepare COAs, supplier controls, and compliance attestations in advance so response material is available if FDA requests supporting evidence.
Cross-functional ownership
Assign operations, regulatory, and broker responsibilities so alert exposure has one accountable owner from booking through entry.
