Search active FDA import alerts, detention without physical examination (DWPE) orders, and enforcement actions. Updated in real time from FDA accessdata.fda.gov.
An FDA import alert authorizes Detention Without Physical Examination (DWPE) of products that appear to violate FDA regulations. When an import alert is active, shipments of the specified product from the named firms or countries can be detained at the US border without the FDA needing to physically examine each shipment. Import alerts cover food safety violations, unapproved drugs, adulterated cosmetics, and other regulated products.
The FDA updates import alerts on a rolling basis as new enforcement actions are issued, existing alerts are modified, or alerts are removed. The data on this page is queried in real time from the FDA accessdata.fda.gov system, so results reflect the latest published alerts.
Monitor FDA detention orders and import alerts for your product categories. Get notified when new enforcement actions affect your supply chain.
