Import Alert 99-32, also known as Detention Without Physical Examination (DWPE), is an FDA mechanism that allows shipments from specific companies or product categories to be automatically detained at the port without a physical inspection.
Types of Import Alerts
FDA issues various types of Import Alerts. Some apply to specific products from an entire country, others target individual companies. Import Alert 99-32 specifically targets facilities that are not registered or whose registration has expired.
The Red List
When a company is placed on an Import Alert Red List, all its shipments are automatically detained. Getting removed from the Red List is a complex and time-consuming process.
The 24-Hour Response Window
When your shipment is detained, FDA typically demands an initial response within 24 hours. If no response is received, the shipment may be refused or destroyed.
Getting Off the Red List
Removal requires proving the violation has been corrected. This may involve documentation, laboratory test reports, and evidence of corrective actions.
