Description

The purpose of this Compliance Policy Guide (CPG) is to provide guidance to FDA staff and trade regarding requests to the FDA, for a preliminary admissibility assessment of FDA-regulated products that would be included in a weekly entry filing (WEF).  The FDA recommends that persons who wish to file a weekly entry with the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) under 19 CFR 146.63(c)(1), request a preliminary admissibility assessment from the FDA before filing a request for a weekly entry with the CBP.  The preliminary admissibility assessments are for the purpose of FDA reviewing whether the product is a good candidate for WEF, based on compliance with FDA-administered regulatory requirements and other factors relevant to FDA’s admissibility review.  This CPG describes what information the FDA needs to make a preliminary admissibility assessment.
