Ensure You Meet the U.S. Safety Standards
for Imports

¿Sabía que menos del 40% de los 1200 importadores inspeccionados por la FDA en 2020 cumplían con el FSVP?

Invite a sus colegas de habla hispana a unirse a nosotros del 17 al 20 de mayo para conocer los requisitos del Programa de Verificación para Proveedores Extranjeros (FSVP) durante nuestra capacitación virtual, impartida en español. La regla final de FSVP requiere que los importadores realicen ciertas actividades basadas en el riesgo para verificar que los alimentos importados a los Estados Unidos se hayan producido de una manera que cumpla con los estándares de seguridad de los EE. UU. aplicables.

Did you know, less than 40% of the 1,200 importers inspected by the FDA in 2020 were FSVP-compliant?

Invite your Spanish-speaking colleagues to join us, May 17-20, to learn the requirements of the Foreign Supplier Verification Programs (FSVP) during our virtual training, taught in Spanish. The final FSVP rule requires that importers perform certain risk-based activities to verify that food imported into the United States has been produced in a manner that meets applicable U.S. safety standards.

Who will benefit from this training?

• U.S.‐based importers who meet the definition of "importer" in the FSVP rule, which includes those who own or are the consignee of food at the time of entry, or, if no owner or consignee exists, the U.S. agent or representative of the foreign owner.
• Others who have an interest in ensuring that the requirements of the FSVP rule are met, including brokers, exporters, foreign suppliers of food that will be exported to the U.S., persons/business owners who currently buy food from foreign sources, and representatives of foreign governments.
