Import/Export Regulations of Food and Drugs

Import and export regulations for food and drugs ensure that these products meet safety, quality, and labeling standards before they enter or leave a country. Authorities, like the FDA in the U.S., review products to prevent harmful substances from reaching consumers. Importers and exporters must provide documentation proving compliance with health regulations. This process helps protect public health and ensures that consumers receive safe and effective food and medicines. Violations can result in fines, product seizures, or bans on future imports/exports.
