Products imported under IND Applications are also monitored, but due to the small volumes involved, no specific guidance is necessary. Dosage form drugs must be examined to determine if they are new animal drugs and, if so, an approved NADA exist, or if they are the subject of a valid INAD exemption. Consult with CVM regarding its status. Bulk New Animal Drug substances may be legally imported only if destined to the holder of an approved NADA or INAD exemption. Consult with the Center for the status of the drug.
Devices intended for animal use are subject to examinations for misbranding violations.
Animal devices must bear adequate directions for use and label claims must not be false or misleading. Consult with CVM for guidance. Animal feeds and feed components, including pet foods should be examined for conformance with food labeling requirements, drug claims, food additive violations, and filth and foreign objects. This applies to each shipment of electronic products for which performance standards exist. For electronic products, physical samples may only be collected on specific assignment.
