USA Land Port of Entry

AME Certified Laboratories, PCR, Thermocycler, Cepheid, Food Safety, Food Safety Testing, Outbreaks

In the USA a Land Port Of Entry (LPOE), or border station, provides controlled entry to the United States for food materials.

AME Certified Laboratories, PCR, Thermocycler, Cepheid, Food Safety, Food Safety Testing, Outbreaks

The Food & Drug Administration (FDA) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) inspect food imports.
FSMA requires a 3rd-party certification.

HSG-AME can equip, train, support, and certify your team to provide documentation for each load crossing into the USA.

Types of documents

Certificate of Analysis (CoA) is added to a  Bill of Lading, Customs Form, Commercial Invoice, Packing List, and Warehouse documents.

Laboratory test results document food safety methods, processes, and methods.
Importers' preventive controls should deter the risk of import detention.

Laboratory documents generated from production steps are key to substantiating food safety measures

FDA Detention Expediting

AME Certified Laboratories, PCR, Thermocycler, Cepheid, Food Safety, Food Safety Testing, Outbreaks

Food Importers to the USA market

In-house laboratories can provide ISO 17025 laboratory results to immediately resolve detention issues, keeping your buyer's products moving and  keep your supply chain moving.

Receiving an FDA Detention Notice

Unnecessary challenges and dread are minimized with a complete transportation documentation package presented at the USA Port of Entry.

The US FDA Notice of Detection can be also minimized with sufficient prepared documentation.

The laboratory team prepares the analytical packet to be submitted to the US FDA via the  Import Trade Auxiliary Communications (ITACS) System, which is a U.S. Government information system. 

Detentions can result in delays to market

Buying customers often do not understand the complexities of international border crossings.

Decrease Warehouse Storage Fees

Immediate bacterial pathogen test results can minimize the "wait time" so the shipments can quickly be presented to US Port authorities.

Frustrated Buyers Waiting for Delivery

Buying customers are pleased with 'on time' deliveries from international sellers.

Avoid Loss of Reputation and Revenues

In-house laboratory results presented to authorities can expedite the cross-border experience for both the seller and the buyers.

The US FDA Protects US Consumers

 The US FDA works hard to protect US consumers and their food supply. The Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act grants the FDA authorization to detain shipments that they suspect violate the act. The FDA can collect samples to analyze themselves, or, they can detain a shipment without physical examination (DWPE) if the manufacturer is red-listed under an import alert.  

Detention without Physical Examination (DWPE)

DWPE is applied when products in a shipment violate or appear to violate US FDA laws and regulations. The US FDA  sends the manufacturer a notice of a DWPE action, which provides a detailed explanation for why the entry is detained, the due date for a response, and the compliance officer assigned to the entry. 

Manufacturers have the opportunity to have a testing laboratory collect samples for analytical testing.  

Labs will prepare a private laboratory analytical package to submit as evidence and testimony to the FDA for their review. 

After a thorough review of the results and lab package, an FDA compliance officer will determine whether the product can be released into US commerce or if it will be refused entry. works hard to protect US consumers and their food supply.

Prohibited Pesticides testing

AME Certified Laboratories, PCR, Thermocycler, Cepheid, Food Safety, Food Safety Testing, Outbreaks

USA Agencies Tests Food Products for Prohibited Pesticides

 The U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)  approves the use of pesticides and may establish tolerances for pesticide chemical residues that could remain in or on food. A tolerance is the EPA established maximum residue level of a specific pesticide chemical that is permitted in or on a human or animal food in the United States. 

 The Food and Drug Administration is responsible for enforcing the EPA tolerances for domestic foods shipped in interstate commerce and foods offered for import into the U.S., except for meat, poultry, catfish, and certain egg products that are regulated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. 

Testing Prior to Shipment to USA

HSG-AME suggests the testing of food products for prohibited pesticides prior to presentation to the US authorities.

GCMS and LCMS Equipment, Consumables and Training

HSG-AME can install, train, support, and certify your test to perform these tests prior to shipment across international borders to the USA.
